how course average on grader report in moodle

by Thad Kohler 5 min read

On the grader report, there is a Course Total column. This column seems to show the course grade AVERAGE rather than the true TOTAL. For reference, I would assume a total be the sum of the marks achieved all quizzes / possible total marks for all quizzes * 100 to get the ACTUAL percentage value.

Highlighting rows and columns

When your gradebook starts to grow, it can be hard to keep track of which student and which assignment a cell refers to. Highlighting solves that.

Sorting by columns

You can sort by any column. Click the symbol near the top of a column to sort by that column. This will change the symbol to a single downarrow. Clicking again will sort lowest-to-highest, changing the symbol to an uparrow. The arrows will toggle between these two states until you click on a different column.

Highlighting scores that are either adequate or unacceptable in red and green

Turn editing on and click on the edit icon in the controls cell at the top of the column. You can then (maybe need to click 'show advanced') see the option to enter a 'grade to pass'. Once set, any grades falling above this will be highlighted in green and any below will be highlighted in red.

Categorising the grades

The 'Choose an action...' drop down on the upper left will let you switch to other views

Horizontal scrollbar

In Moodle 1.9.5 onwards, administrators may enable a static students column (in Administration > Grades > Report settings > Grader report) for teachers to scroll grades in the grader report using a horizontal scrollbar.

Mouse-over tooltips

In Moodle 1.9.5 onwards, each grade cell in the table has a tooltip indicating the user and grade item to which the grade belongs.

Altering the grades

You can click "Turn editing on" at the top right to show an edit icon next to each grade. Clicking on the icon will bring up the editing screen for that grade which will allow you to set the grade, its written feedback and a number of other attributes.

Display

Along the top of the grader report are several rows: first the course, then the category, then the columns for each graded activity (for example: Assignment, Quiz, Lesson). Any activities settings which were left "uncategorised" will appear in the general category which is named after the course by default (any category name can be changed).

Editing

Note: Editing anything in the gradebook refers to editing the grades only and none of the available operations bear any relationship to editing the main course page i.e. the appearance of your course page cannot be influenced by anything you do in the gradebook.

Gradebook capabilities

There is just one gradebook capability, View the grader report, which is allowed for the default roles of manager, teacher and non-editing teacher.
