The only thing that I see that seems to be different from previous behavior is that clicking on the edit category button for the root (course) category show a field "Current parent aggregation" which has no value. On child categories this shows up in a "Parent Category" fieldset. I feel that on the root category it should probably not be show at all.

Also, it seems to be standard behavior, but how come the default name of the root category isn't placed in the "Category Name" field by default? It seems like that name should be in the field by default, with the user option to change the value if they feel they need or want to. No big deal, but it's always struck me as odd.

Overall, this is a great improvement IMHO. Thank you.

I will remove this "informational" field from the course category form, it wasn't meant to appear there at all.

Regarding the name of the course total, what strikes you as odd is actually a default behaviour. When you create a course, this course category is automatically created, and no name is given to it. If it stays with no name, it will default to showing the course name. If the teacher wants to change its name, this will override the course name and be used instead. If he should want to revert to the course name, he can just remove the course category name entirely.

One reason for this behaviour is that we don't want to allow an empty name for any category.

It could probably be improved

Questions in my mind:

• What does a weighted grade actually do?
• Do all of the boxes have to have a value in them?
• Do all the weights have to add up to 100 or some similar number?
• What is the difference between weight and extra credit?
• What is the unit of the number in the box? does it depend on what is selected in the dropdown?

Also, if I set a calculation for the category total, does this make the dropdown for that category redundant? If so, it should grey out or something.

The explanations of weight and extra credits are a separate issue, so I won't comment further here.
