The video titled "How to Edit Categories to Remove Dropped Assignments in Schoology," hosted by Angela May, addresses the issue of why some assignments in Schoology might have strikethroughs on their titles and how it affects student grades. Here's a summary of the tutorial:

Identifying the Issue: The video begins with Angela noticing that some assignments have strikethroughs in the gradebook and pondering how this impacts student grades.
Investigating Student Grades: Angela demonstrates investigating a specific student's grade by clicking on a graph icon next to the student's name. She notices that the student has a lot of missing work and some assignments with strikethroughs.
Inspecting the Assignment Category: To understand why these assignments have strikethroughs, Angela suggests clicking on the assignment to see its category. For example, an assignment might be categorized under "Assignments."
Checking the Gradebook Setup: In the gradebook setup, Angela reveals that the category had been set to drop the ten lowest assignment scores. This setting was causing the strikethroughs on some assignments.
Editing Category Settings: She demonstrates how to edit the category settings to prevent assignments from being dropped. After changing the settings, the grade representation changes, showing a more accurate grade for the student.
Verifying Changes: Finally, Angela scrolls through the gradebook to confirm that the strikethroughs have been removed, indicating that the assignments are no longer being dropped and the student’s grade is now accurately reflected.
