What Is Calculated Weight In Moodle?
The Category Name in the SU(2) Learning System
The Category name is needed. The Simple weighted mean of grades should be selected under the Aggregation menu. Click to expand the category total, then fill in the desired weight of the grade category in the maximum field.
If Class Participation is worth 10% of the course grade, put a 10 in the maximum field. Click the Save Changes button after that. If you already have assignments and quizzes in the system, you don't need to add your own grade items.
If you want to add a grade that is not from a quiz or assignment activity, you need to add a new grade item. The Add Grade item button is located at the bottom of the Gradebook setup page. You can move grade items to categories by clicking on the Select column and then selecting the category you want to move it to from the drop down menu.
The importance of weighted categories
It is best to set up weighted categories earlier than later because changing the weights of categories can affect final grades. The gradebook guide can be used to enter grades now that your gradebook is set up.
The discrimination index
The steepness of a slope is indicative of how discriminating a test might be. The test is less distinguishing for students who achieve higher grades. A positive skew test may mean that your test is not distinguishing students who are passing or failing the test.
The number should be negative around 1.0. The discrimination index tries to represent the quality of a question by comparing how well students do on it to how well the rest of the students do. The discrimination index is going to be low when the facility index is high.
The Accessibility of the Rubric
A rubric is a set of criteria for marking which are defined and assigned points. The table has the criteria defined in rows and the levels and associated points in columns. You can make the rubric available by clicking Save.
The rubric is available to marking staff to use when they grade the assignment and students can see it when they open the assignment link. Students can see the rubric if you choose Save as draft, but it will not be available to marking staff during the grading process. If the rubric is in the draft, you will see a message on the Advanced grading page that says the form is not ready.
Transferring Moodle Grades to SPIRE
The gradebook is a powerful tool for sharing grades and feedback with students. The gradebook has a number of different options for calculating and displaying grades. You can either build your gradebook before the semester starts or before it starts.
You can easily transfer grades from the Moodle gradebook to the SPIRE grade roster at the end of the term. You can use a scale of your choice to convert numerical grades to letter grades. After you import grades into SPIRE, you can still make changes to them.
Onlynumeric scores can be entered in grade items associated with the activities. The ability to enter letter grades directly into Moodle is no longer available. Instructors must enter grades as points, but letter grades can be displayed to students based on percentage.
Group related grade items
Group related grade items in categories. You could have a category for assignments, a category for Quizzes and a category for exams. It is easy to create categories before adding any grade items since you can designate a category when you create a new item.
You can move items later. You may want to give an extra credit to a grade item. Extra credit only works if you are using either Natural or Simple weighted mean of grades.
