Gradebook collects and
compiles all the
items that are
gradable in a Moodle page, allowing you an
overall grading space where you can
organise things into categories and
calculate marks to suit you. In the
gradebook setup you can edit categories,
edit and/or hide individual
activities, and edit the weighting for
each activity.
It is very important to set up the gradebook carefully as this impacts how your marks are calculated and managed.
Note: When setting up the different gradable assignments be careful when setting the weighting and marks per question. we recommend setting the Maximum grade to 100 as this makes the final gradebook configuration much easier.
If
you change any part of an
assessment e.g. alter the
maximum grade for one of
the questions in a quiz, you
may find that the columns do
not yet reflect the
change you have made.
Click the Edit
mode toggle
twice to force the
gradebook to
re-check.
Below provides an overview of the Grade Administration functions available on the dropdown list on the top left of the Grades tab:
View
- Grader Report - Unlike the Gradebook the Grader report shows the individual marks or grades achieved for each gradable activity linked to a student. With the report you can also access the average student’s results and the overall result each student received. You can also change the display of the Grader-report categories, the displays include:
- Grades only - without the category totals column
- Aggregates - Category total column only
- Full view - grades and the aggregates (the totals column for the category)
- Grade History
- Overview report
- Single view - If you view the report by activity, you can see the grades for each student and have the option to override/bulk insert grades for that activity.
- User report - If you view the report by user and have access to view all activities linked with that student. You will see the weighting, grade, range, percentage, feedback and contribution to course total for each activity for that student.
