Grades not Visible to Students

We've been having some major disasters with Moodle lately. We seem to have fixed most of them, but this one has got everyone stumped.

Re: Grades not Visible to Students

Do you mean that they do not see a link "Grades" in Administration block?

Re: Grades not Visible to Students

Hi, I have the same problem as Fiona, I have checked your points 1 and tried 2 but there is no Set Preferences option under Administration > Grades in the course, so I cannot check the Display Weighted Grades etc.

Re: Grades not Visible to Students

Had a look at the Catergories and Course Total and sure enough one was hidden, once that was open the students could see their grades.

Re: Grades not Visible to Students

Sorry, but I was talking about "Administration" block inside the course itself, not "Site Administration" for the admins.

Re: Grades not Visible to Students

I checked in a few courses and all the grade settings are as they should be.

Re: Grades not Visible to Students

Yes, this interface is very limited, you should have much more options there.

General

Grades may be displayed as as actual grades, as percentages (in reference to the minimum and maximum grades) or as letters.

Grades and user removals

On re-enrolling, you can recover their grades from before: see Recover grades on re-enrol

Advanced grading

To see the option for Advanced grading, you first have to create an assignment and choose Advanced grading/Rubric from the gGading method dropdown. Advanced grading will then appear in Settings>Assignment administration.

Aggregation

Each category has an aggregation type, which can be changed through that category's "edit" page. To access that page, you must use one of 2 ways:

Categories

There is no programmatic limit, but there are practical limits. Very deeply nested structures are difficult to manage. 3 levels of categories should be sufficient for most situations. Note that there is always at least one level of categories, since the Course category always encompasses all other categories and grade items, can cannot be deleted.

Modules

You can create a grade item manually in the gradebook. You will have to grade your students through the Grader report interface (in editing mode).

Weights and extra credits

A weight (also called coefficient) only has meaning in reference to other weights. If you only have one grade item, changing its weight will not have any effect. However, if you have two grade items, each with a different weight, the "heavier" item will have more influence on the total grade than the "lighter" one.
