How Can I Drop a Grade in the OAKS Gradebook?
- Create a category for your set of assignments (such as "Quizzes" or "Reading Responses")
- In the Distribution area, choose distribute weight evenly across all items.
- Enter the number of lowest items to drop for each user.
- Now you can add grade items within that category (such as Quiz 1, Quiz 2, etc.).

What's the Difference Between Final Calculated Grade and Final Adjusted Grade?
While you will see both in your view of the gradebook, students will only see the one you choose to release to them.
Calculated Final Grade - This is based on the grading formula you've set up in the grade book. You cannot adjust it to accommodate special circumstances without editing individual grade items and recalculating the total.
Adjusted Final Grade - This enables you to modify a user’s grade before releasing it. This requires copying the information in the Final Calculated Grade then altering it as necessary.
