Displaying Grades in the Gradebook

Display Grades with Letters and Percentages

It’s relatively easy to control how grades are displayed for an overall course.

1. From your course, click on the Grades tab.

2. . Choose the Setup and Course grade settings tabs

3. You will see a drop-down box labeled Grade display type, which you can set to whatever you prefer; for example, if you only want to show points, you would select Real (‘Real’ stands for the actual points earned, as opposed to a percentage or letter). And you’ll see that you can set it to one of several combinations, showing points and percentage, for instance.

4. Hit Save

Grade Display Types

• Letter: The numerical total converted to a letter value using the scale found on the Letters tab of the gradebook. To configure the letter scale used for this conversion, see Letter Grades in Moodle.

• Percentage: The numerical total divided by the maximum possible points.

• Real: The numerical total calculated by the category.

• Overall decimal points: The number of decimal points to display for each grade.
  Note: This setting does not round values in calculations. If the category total is used in another calculation, the real numerical value will be used, which has an accuracy of 5 decimal places.
