Grader Report Overview

The Grader Report in Moodle collects and displays grades from various assessed items within a course. Key features include:

  • Automatic Grade Creation: When an assessed item is added, the gradebook automatically generates space for grades and populates them as assessments are completed.
  • Raw Marks Display: Grades initially appear as raw scores (e.g., an essay scored out of 36), which can later be converted to percentages.
  • Default Settings: Gradebook options are set at the system level by administrators and may be marked as overridable or fixed, leading to variations in user experiences.
