12.3. Setting up gradebook categories

By default, all grades are placed into the Uncategorised category. You will need to create one or more categories so that you can set up a formula for the computation of the current numeric course grade.

Procedure 12. Creating a new category

  1. From the course page, under Administration, click Grades.

  2. From the Choose an action... pull-down menu, in the Categories and items group, select Simple view.

  3. Click the Add category button at the bottom of the page.

  4. You are now on the New category page. Under Grade category, enter the name in the Category name field.

    Then choose a value from the Aggregation pull-down menu. The default choice is Simple weighted mean of grades, but there are several other choices.

  5. There are many other choices here, but for most cases you can just click on Save changes.
