Moodle Gradebook
Adding a Gradebook Category
The Moodle gradebook allows you to organize using grading categories. A grading category is a group of many like items that are calculated together for an overall percentage of the course total (ex. Quizzes, Homework, etc.).
Note: To enter a score that is part of a category, at least one individual grade item needs be added to the category.
This instructional guide explains how to add a Grading Category to your gradebook.
Step 1: On the course page header, click Grades.
Step 2: The Grader report will display all current scores for your roster in the gradebook. To access the grade book settings, from the grader report drop-down menu click the Gradebook Setup.
Step 3: In the Gradebook setup screen, scroll to the bottom of the page and click Add category.
Step 4: Enter a name in the Category name field.
Step 5: Click Save changes to add the grade category to the gradebook
The grade category will then appear on the Gradebook setup screen.
To make revisions once the grading category has been added to the gradebook, click the Edit link within the category row, and then select Edit settings from the drop-down menu. This action will return you to the Grade Category setup screen shown in the previous step.
Moving Grade Items into a Category
To enter student scores that are part of the category, you must first place grade items containing point values into the category.
