Organising the grades

• Numeric grade: A numerical grade between 1 and 100. This is already set up and ready to use within all Moodle courses.

• Scale: A customized grading profile that can be letters, words, statements, or numbers (such as Pass, Merit, and Distinction).

• Letter grade: A grading profile that can be linked to percentages (such as 100 percent > A).

Customising grades: Scales

A standard scale is available site-wide, for all courses.

An ordered list of values, ranging from negative to positive, separated by commas, for example "Disappointing, Not good enough, Average, Good, Very good, Excellent!"

Customising grades: Letters

Click this box to change the scales.

You can use letters or words here.

This setting determines the minimum percentage over which grades will be assigned the grade letter.
