Student: Checking Grades

From Kros Wiki

Feedback is essential for learning. Moodle allows you to track your progress and view detailed grading information from your instructors.

1. The Gradebook Overview

To see a summary of your performance across all subjects:

  1. Click your User Avatar in the top right corner.
  2. Select Grades from the dropdown menu.
  3. This opens the "Overview report". It lists every course you are enrolled in and your current total grade for each.

2. Detailed Course Grades

To see the breakdown of a specific class:

  1. Enter the course page.
  2. Click the Grades tab in the secondary navigation bar (below the course title).
  3. This opens the User report.

Understanding the User Report Columns

The grade table can look complex. Here is what the columns mean:

Column Explanation
Grade item The name of the assignment, quiz, or activity.
Calculated weight How much this assignment counts towards the final course grade (e.g., 20%).
Grade Your score (e.g., 85.00).
Range The possible lowest and highest scores (e.g., 0–100).
Percentage Your grade converted to a percentage (e.g., 85%).
Feedback Short text comments from the teacher.

3. Viewing Detailed Feedback (Assignments)

The Gradebook view only shows the score and a short comment. To see full details, marked-up PDFs, or Rubrics:

  1. Go back to the course homepage.
  2. Click on the link of the specific Assignment again (the same place where you uploaded it).
  3. Scroll down to the Feedback section (below the submission status).

What to look for:

  • Grade: The final score.
  • Graded on: When the teacher finished marking.
  • Feedback comments: A longer message from the instructor.
  • Annotated PDF: Highly Recommended. If you see a PDF icon here named "Annotated PDF", click to open it. This is your original paper with the teacher's red pen marks, highlights, and specific notes directly on the pages.
  • Rubric: If a rubric was used, you will see the grid showing exactly which criteria you met and where you lost points.

4. Viewing Detailed Feedback (Quizzes)

  1. Open the Quiz activity.
  2. You will see a "Summary of your previous attempts".
  3. Click the link labeled Review (in the right-hand column).
  4. This opens the quiz in "Review Mode".
  5. You can navigate through the questions to see which ones you got right or wrong, and read specific feedback for each question (if enabled by the teacher).
