Setting up and Adding Grades

Gradebook

Most grade entry in Moodle occurs through the assignments tools. The Moodle gradebook only shows grades for assignments you've already created within your course. Assignment tools also allow you to enter grades and provide student feedback more efficiently than the gradebook. You will generally use the gradebook only to review grades and assignments, change assignment weightings, or make other changes that affect all assignments and grades. 

 

Accessing the Gradebook

On the course landing page, click "Grades" in the secondary navigation bar.


Here you will find a dropdown allowing you to select different views.


View

• Grader report - Gives you access to all students grades for all assignments. Students will be listed down the left column and the assignments across the top. Each of these Students and Assignments will remain locked as you scroll across or down the gradebook so they will always remain visible. Clicking on an assignment will take you to the assignment page. You can manually add grades here by clicking on the individual grid or cell.
• Grade history - Allows you to search students grades history
