To hide the Course total, use the Gear icon, then Gradebook Setup, then select Edit for the Course total and select Hide. Before I learned to bend Moodle’s “Course total” to my will, I took the simple step to hide that from students (it is visible by default at Moodle.) That gives a simple way for students to see feedback on individual tasks without getting a false idea about their overall grade. I like that students can see at Moodle which assignments they’ve completed and my feedback on each of them. Thing 1: The Simplest Thing - Hide the “Course total” What’s more, many come from high schools where the ability to “check my grade online” was central to their experience (and that of their parents!) Before I learned to make Moodle gradebook do my bidding, the student quoted above was in almost every course I taught! The section of my Syllabus that details the weights each component of the students’ work will contribute to the course grade. Trouble is that while I have the syllabus in my mind all the time, students take one (or fewer) look and move on! The students see Moodle every day, and the message they get from Moodle about their course grade is, in my experience, very vivid.
It is completely clear that I use the percentages given there to compute students’ course grades. Students read the syllabus, right? Every course I teach has a syllabus section like in the screenshot below. “How did my grade get so low? In Moodle it looks like I’m getting a B” Student.
