I agree with Shirlee! “Exempt” is a very cool feature. Thank you!

I’m glad Brightspace has released the ‘exemption’ tool. However, just as an FYI, by using adjusted grades, you could effectively do that as well – you could select which items and/or categories would apply and use that to set the grade.

Also, with adjusted grades, don’t forget that your friend is clicking on the “Grade” option (on the drop-down) and one of the options when you’re in the page is to Grade or Transfer all (from the calculated grade option). I don’t typically use this, but I have for one or two of my classes.

But thanks for this post!

The Grade Exemption feature is SO WONDERFUL — it will help avoid confusion for all the options I offer for assignments. I never would have figured this out on my own. Many thanks for the clear description and directions!
