Quiz not counting towards final grade

Quiz not counting towards final grade

Hello,

My question is similar to that of Mr Rymill the other day:

We are using a quiz module (in Moodle 1.9.7) to create customized questionnaires/surveys that we use at the end of the course for course evaluation.

The thing is, we do not want this quiz (actually the final questionnaire) to count toward a final grade, but do not want to exclude it manually for our students since it’s time-consuming.

What is the way to set the specific activity (quiz or assessment) in such a way – at the very beginning of the course – that it simply does not count toward the final grade?

Is there yet another way apart from Weighted Mean?

Thanks in advance,

Valerie

We use the questionnaire module for this purpose, not the quiz module.  We set it to be NO GRADE and to default to the UNCATEGORIZED category.  Works like a charm.  We open it on a specific date & time and close it on a specific date & time.  Then the results can be downloaded as a word doc by copying & pasting the results into word and the Dept chairs can download the results to Excel and tabulate averages of the responses for faculty evals. Faculty roles are set to not view the questionnaires until the end of the marking period when all grades are in and then we change the roles back to the Moodle defaults for viewing and downloading.  Hope this helps
