Dear All,
I have a number of courses that students are getting letter grades for (e.g. Fail, Pass, Merit, Distinction) in Moodle 2.5.1. They have two assignments and I need a way of calculating an aggregating mark. Does Moodle provide a way for aggregating letter grades just like numerical ones? Any information on which files I would need to edit to achieve this functionality will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
George
As far as I know - for aggregation purposes they are converted to a percentage (on an even distribution).
So how can you say a pass and a distinction makes a distinction? Or you cannot from the current interface, but could you point me to the files need editing to insert my custom aggregation rules?
Aggregation takes place deep in the bowels of core code, lib/grade/grade_item.php. I'd suggest you hack from the 'plugin', grade/report/grader/lib.php and grade/report/user/lib.php.
