Preface

Numeric grades


100 is the default grade for all assessments in Moodle. When setting up a graded activity, you will choose the highest grade possible for that assignment (such as 50) and, when marking the work, you will assign the grade achieved. No other changes need to be made in order to use numerical grades.

Numeric grades are the simplest type of grading for calculating course scores. Numbers are always easier to add than words!
