You can grade manual grade items in two different ways. The first is by manually entering your grades into the assignment using Single View. The second method is to import the grades from another source.
NOTE: If you are using assignments, quizzes, forums or other gradable Moodle activities you should be using their specific grading tools to grade. The activity grading tools have superior ways to provide feedback and provide clearer grading for your students.
A grade entered directly into gradebook and will override grades entered in any other interface so this method should only be used for manual grade items.
Select Grades from the secondary navigation.
Select the Single view option from the drop-down.
Select Grade items option.
Use the Select a grade item drop-down to select the assignment you want to grade.
Edit mode needs to be turned on if it isn’t already.
Enter the Point Value into the Grade box for the student.
Enter any feedback you may have for the student in the Feedback text box.
Repeat for each student.
Scroll to the bottom, and click the Save button.
This process is helpful when you are using an external tool and want to copy grades from one system to another. This process assumes that you have already created a manual grade item for each score that you wish to import.
Download the grades from your external tool into a spreadsheet file.
NOTE: This process is different in each external tool, but will often be listed under an Export option. If you cannot determine how to do this please contact the support services offered by the publisher of your external tool.
Scroll to the top of the main page of your course in Moodle.
Select the Grades option from the secondary navigation.
OPTIONAL: If your external tool doesn’t export each row with the student.clackamas email or college user ID you will NEED to complete this step.
Export your Moodle Gradebook listing just the manual grade items you created for the external tool.
Save the spreadsheet of grades you wish to import as a CSV file.
Return to Moodle.
Select the Import option from the drop-down menu.
Upload the CSV file in the box.
Click the Upload grades button.
Verify that the mappings are correct:
NOTE: The only time you wouldn’t want to use email address is if the email address in the CSV is not their college @student.clackamas.edu email.
NOTE: All columns that don’t represent a grade item in Moodle should be set to Ignore.
Click the Upload Grades button.
If error is reported back button can be used to return and make adjustments.
OR
If the Grade import is successful click the Continue button to return to the Grader report so you can visually inspect imported grades and ensure imported grades are correct.
