\label{Course_Problem_Weight}

By default, the problem "weight" is equal to the amount of points the problem
is worth. If the problem is made up of multiple parts, each with their own submit
button, then those parts behave as if they were separate problems,
and each one has its own weight.

If you want to edit the default (i.e award points based on problem weight and 
tries), you will need to edit the LON-CAPA Spreadsheet \ref{Spreadsheet_About}
and the change the Course Environment Parameters \ref{GradingOptions}. In this 
case, you may want to think of a problem's weight in proportion to other 
problems.  For example, if all problems have a weight of 1, then both easy and
difficult problems have the same weight.  If you choose to customize the 
spreadsheet, then the problem weight and points may not equal each other for 
your course. 

The default weight of all problems and problem parts is 1.
