It can be helpful to display a letter grade in conjunction with the course total in the gradebook so that students can easily see where they stand throughout the term. Faculty can see final grades at the end of the term—but only if editing is turned off in their course! (See note below.)

Notes

• By default, an A in Moodle starts at 93%. To customize the grade scale, contact CATL for assistance.
• Students can always see their letter grade, but they are only displayed to instructors when editing is turned off. (Silly Moodle!)

Display Letter Grades

To display a letter grade with the total score:

1. Click on the Grades tab at the top of your course page.
2. Open the gradebook options pull-down menu.
3. Select Gradebook setup.
4. Open the Edit link associated with the course total at the top of the gradebook table to Edit settings.
5. In the Category total options area, open the Grade display type pull-down menu and select Real (letter).
6. Save changes.
