Create a Grade Category
Table of Contents
Overview
A grade category in the Moodle gradebook is a collection of grade items. Grade categories are a way to keep your gradebook organized and are especially useful if you wish to assign a weight to each category (ex. exams = 35%, discussion forums = 10%, research paper = 20%, and presentations = 35%).
