Updated over 3 weeks ago

Purpose

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how to manually add a grade item in the Moodle gradebook.

Procedures

  1. On your course homepage, click on the Grades tab. You will see a dropdown menu set to the default Grader report.

  2. Change the default selection to Gradebook setup.

  3. On the Gradebook setup page, click on the Add grade item menu and select Add grade item.

  4. Name for the grade item.

  5. Type the maximum grade for the item.

  6. If you have grade categories set up, choose the desired category here. If you haven’t set up categories, skip this step.

  7. Click the Save button at the bottom of the page.


    The grade item will appear in your Gradebook.

  8. Click on the dropdown menu and select Grader report.

  9. To manually add a numerical grade, first make sure you are in Edit mode.

  10. Type the score in the box in the student's row in the item column and save.

Note

If you want to copy your course in the future, the ONLY way manually added grade items will copy is if you do a full course import. If you deselect even one item during the import, NONE of these items will import.
