Assignment showing the wrong total possible points

Question:
I am grading an assignment in Angel. When I go to assign points for the assignment, it is displaying the wrong points (100 points). What is happening and how can I fix it?

Answer:
If the assignment is showing the wrong number of points, in this case 100 points. A possible option would be that it is not correctly linked to the particular assignment in gradebook. This is a dead giveaway if the assignment is showing 100 points, as 100 points is the default point total for any assignment by Angel.

To fix it, find the assignment and open up the settings. Click on the Assignment tab.  In the gradebook settings, click on the dropdown and select the item in the gradebook you wish the assignment to be associated with. If you do not see the assignment listed, you may need to create it in gradebook first.
