Course Grade Settings
Preferences: Grader Report

Course Grade Settings

The Course Grade Settings tab provides settings that determine how the Grader report, Overview report and User report will appear for both the instructor and students in the course.

The Overview report shows student total grades for all courses.

NOTE: Students see grades for all courses that are visible. Instructors will see grades for all their courses that student was enrolled in.

The User report is how students will see their grades displayed.

The Grader report is how the instructor can see all the grades for the course, and may display grade items that students cannot see.

Basics

There are four sections available for choosing settings: General Settings, Grade item settings, Overview report, and User report.

NOTE: It is recommended that you use the same Show rank and Hide totals if they contain hidden items settings for the Overview report and User report. This will make sure the grades students view are consistent.

How to Find it

Scroll to the top of the main page of your course.

Select the Grades option from the secondary navigation.

Select the Course grade settings option from the drop-down menu.

General Settings

The Aggregation position determines whether the course and category totals are displayed first or last in the User report.

Grade Item Settings

The Grade display type determines what type of grade(s) display for each grade item in both the Grader and User report.

Real – Actual grade or scale value
Percentage – Relative to maximum and minimum grades
Letter – Letters or words are used to represent a range of grades as defined in Grade letters.

The Overall decimal places determines the number of decimal places to display for each grade item. This has no impact on the grade calculation.

Course-Grade-Settings-Grade-Item-Settings

The User report section determines what details will be shared with students when they view their grades in the User report. An instructor can decide whether to Hide or Show details such as class rank, item percentages, item feedback, etc.

NOTE: Remember to click on Save changes once you have finished changing your settings.

Preferences: Grader Report

Instructors can set their personal preferences for the Grader report. These settings will affect what the teacher sees in the grader report for all courses they teach.
