Dropping the Lowest Quiz Grade | Blackboard Ultra | Seneca Polytechnic

Manage your grade calculations and learn how to drop the lowest grade for different assessments. 

Working with Categories

Dropping quiz grades is done at the grade category level. Before dropping a quiz grade ensure everything that you would like to be dropped is in the same grade category, and that items you don't want to be dropped is not in that category.

For example, if you have 5 quizzes and you want to drop the lowest one, make sure that all 5 are in their own category, without any other quizzes.
