Instructor: So this short video is about deleting columns
in the grade book.
And you can see I have a few different assignment ones here
and I don't want them all, I wanna just have one of them.
So the first thing I have to do
is go to the manage grades tab,
and on this page you can see my list of columns.
And you can see over here in this association column
that these two are associated
with something in the assignment tool page.
And this one does not have an association.
So that means if I wanna go delete it, I can first go to,
the way you delete things from the grade book is to click
manage, more actions rather, delete.
And then you can see this little black question mark
means it's associated still with something
in the assignment tool, but this one isn't.
And you'll notice that I can put a check mark here
to delete it, but I can't, these are gray out.
It won't let me delete them until
I have removed them from the assignment page.
So first I'm going to delete this one with no association
and it just confirms.
Okay, so now I have two.
The one I want to keep is the one that says reflection.
I wanna delete this one.
So first I have to go to course tools
and click on assignments
since that's the tool associated with it.
And it might say quizzes there also, or discussions.
I can see that I have these two assignments listed.
I want to remove this one.
I can just delete it and I can also edit it
and remove its association from the grade book here.
It's probably in most cases, better to just delete it
to avoid confusion.
But there might be instances
where you want to have something
where students can submit work,
but there's no related activity in the grade book about it.
So I'm just gonna click not in grade book.
And then at the bottom here, click save and close.
And so if I go back to my grades page,
so I go to grades
and then I want to click on manage grades.
I can see this association has been removed,
so I can just delete it now.
The other option would've been to go to assignments
and just remove it completely.
So I can click delete.
And now I just have one assignment.
And if I go back to grades
and click manage grades, it's still sitting there.
So they have to be deleted in two places.
When you have something set up
that's connected with a grade book,
it has to be removed in both places
if that's your goal is to delete it.
So I'm gonna click more actions, delete,
and you can see, so this little symbol means
that it's still associated with an assignment
in the assignment tool page,
and you click on it,
you can see the name of the assignment, et cetera.
But I can now check this box.
It's no longer grayed out.
And then I can just click delete.
