Create a graded discussion topic with a linked grade item

From the New Topic or the Edit Topic page, click the Assessment tab.

Do one of the following to associate the discussion with a grade item that counts towards the final grade calculation:
- Choose an existing grade item from the list.
- Click New Grade Item to create and associate a new grade item with the discussion topic.

3. Apply a point value in the Score Out Of field.
Note: The Score Out Of field does not need the same value as the associated grade item. Brightspace automatically calculates the Score Out Of value compared to the associated grade item value to include the appropriate score in Grade Book.
