Numeric grades

100 is the default grade for all assessments in Moodle. When setting up a graded activity, you will choose the highest grade possible for that assignment (such as 50), and when marking the assignment, you will assign the grade achieved. No other changes need to be made in order to use numerical grades from 0–100. However, if you want to grade assignments with scores higher than 100, an administrator can change the maximum grade possible within Site administration area.

Note

Site administrators can change the highest numerical grade possible by navigating to Site Administration | Grades | General settings. Find the Grade point maximum section and add the maximum number for assignments across the site.

Numeric grades are the simplest type of grading used to calculate course scores. Numbers are always easier to add than words!
