Course settings let you fine-tune how your course operates — from grading rules to who helps manage it. Access these settings by opening a course and navigating to the **Settings** section. **Before you begin:** You need an existing course. See [Creating a Course](/teachers/creating-a-course) if you haven't created one yet. *** ## Grade weights Grade weights determine how a student's overall grade is calculated. You set the percentage each assessment type contributes: | Component | Weight | Description | | --------------- | --------- | --------------------------------------- | | **Assignments** | e.g., 40% | Average of all graded assignment scores | | **Quizzes** | e.g., 60% | Average of all graded quiz scores | The weights must add up to **100%**. Navigate to your course → **Settings** → **Grades**. You'll see the current assignment and quiz weight percentages. Enter the assignment weight and quiz weight. They must total 100%. Tap **Save** to apply. A confirmation appears, and student grades will be recalculated based on the new weights. Consider your assessment strategy when setting weights. If quizzes are your primary assessment tool, give them a higher weight. If assignments involve more depth and effort, weight them accordingly. *** ## Student groups Student groups let you organize your class into smaller groups for activities, projects, or differentiated instruction. ### Creating a group 1. Go to **Settings** → **Student Groups** 2. Tap **Create Group** 3. Name the group (e.g., "Group A", "Project Team 1") 4. Add students to the group by selecting from your enrolled students list ### Managing groups * **Edit** — Change the group name or add/remove members * **Delete** — Remove a group (this doesn't remove students from the course) Student groups settings showing group names with member counts and add button Student groups settings showing group names with member counts and add button *** ## Collaborators and co-instructors You can invite other teachers, assistants, and even students to help manage your course. Each collaborator is assigned a role that determines their level of access: | Role | Access level | Who it's for | | ---------------------- | --------------- | ---------------------------------------- | | **Teacher / Lecturer** | Full access | Another teacher at your school | | **Assistant** | Moderate access | A staff member helping manage the course | | **Student Assistant** | Limited access | A student helping with basic tasks | To add a collaborator, go to **Settings** → **Collaborators** → **Add Collaborator**, enter their email address, and choose a role. They'll receive an email invitation and can accept or decline from the Teacher App. Full guide on adding collaborators, understanding roles, accepting invitations, transferring ownership, and more. *** ## Managing enrolled students View and manage the students enrolled in your course: ### Viewing students Go to the **People** section within your course to see all enrolled students.
