The most important point here is to determine what kind of question you want to
answer when you examine student grades, and create categories that enable you
to answer that question. For example, "How do my students do on quizzes versus
more interactive activities, such as workshops and forums?" To answer that question,
create a category just for quizzes, and you can answer that question just by viewing
the grades. Or, "How do my students do on offline activities versus online activities?"
To answer that question, create Online and Offline grading categories.
