Delete a grade column

For this example, a dummy course will be used. The first item was created by adding a Moodle activity therefore it cannot be deleted directly from the gradebook. The second assignment (essay 1) may be deleted directly from the gradebook because it was not created by adding an activity on the activity screen.
