    Grading inside of Moodle should be primarily done from the activities themselves. Student grades are then automatically transferred from the activity modules to the gradebook immediately. Modules that transfer grades automatically are any module type under the Activity tab when adding a new module to your Moodle page.

    The only time you will enter grades manually is for very specific cases, entering 0's, or when adding grades to a Manual Grade Item.

    Now that you know the common tools of the Moodle gradebook, let's combine a few of these and see them in use in a few real-world examples. These will not be step-by-step or how-to's but more so how some tools are applied to put together different gradebooks and combinations inside of gradebooks. Use the resources in the previous section to see how to do any of the steps shown in these examples.

    Here are just a few troubleshooting areas. You may need to revisit some of the basic resources (i.e. aggregations, weights, extra credit, etc) to also troubleshoot a gradebook.

    • Remove a Gradebook Override URL
      Students must
      View

      Do you have a yellow or orange box in your gradebook? This is a gradebook override. Gradebook Overrides override any and all scores placed on the assignment or automatically calculated inside of Moodle. Cases you will not want these are on quiz grades after a student has retaken the quiz and has received a new score or overrides that are on course or category totals boxes. Follow the linked article to remove the override.

    • Check for accidentally excluded grade items URL
      Students must
      View

      If something is not being counted into a student's total first check the User Report for that specific student and check the Weight column. If one has a dropped it can mean either you have "Drop the lowest" turned on for that category or grade item (check out the resource Drop the Lowest Grade in a Category) or this resource on checking excluded grade items for specific students. You generally do not want to exclude a grade item for a specific student unless there is a very specific reason for doing so.
