Unwanted Assignment Groups

[drs02040]

In one of my classes, I apparently and somehow unknowingly created Assignment Groups.  Now I don't want groups, just the assignments that are within the groups.  The problem is the Groups have created an extended grade book where the Assignment titles (Week 1, Week 2, etc.) are listed in columns after the weekly assignments with graded content, and they indicate something "missing" to students.  Is there any way I can get out of these groups, delete the empty Assignment labels, and shorten my grade book?

Hello  @drs02040 ...

If I am understanding your question correctly, it sounds like you've got multiple Assignment Groups in your "Assignments" index page of your course.  And, you've got multiple assignments in each of these Assignment Groups.  So, it could look something like this:

• Assignment Group 1
  • Assignment 1
  • Assignment 2
  • Assignment 3
• Assignment Group 2
  • Assignment 4
  • Assignment 5
  • Assignment 6

But, it sounds like you'd like to have all assignments be listed under one Assignment Group and then get rid of the Assignment Groups that do not have any assignments in them any more.

By default, you must have at least one Assignment Group.  So, you can either:

• Move all assignments to an existing Assignment Group: How do I move or reorder an assignment? 
• Create a brand new Assignment Group (How do I add an assignment group in a course?), move all assignments to the new Assignment Group, and then delete the existing Assignment Groups that aren't needed any more (deleting is covered in the Guide I linked in this bullet point, too).

This should remove those extra columns at the end of your Gradebook.

Do you think this solution will work for your needs?  Please let us know...thanks!
