Weighted categories in Google Classroom

Over the past year or so, Google's incremental updates to Classroom have incorporated features from common Student Information Systems (SISes), such as an overview of a class' assignments and grades, first shown in Chapter 6, Grading Written Assignments in a Flash. At the time of writing, Google has begun linking Google Classroom to SISes such as Infinite Campus and Skyward, with more on the way.

However, because of its currently limited compatibility, few teachers in my education communities utilize the grading features because their class grades are managed on a separate SIS program. However, if Google Classroom interfaces with your SIS, setting up grading and category weightings can save time in your workflow.
