Gradebook setup:
Weighted Mean of grades for primary course aggregation.
Simple weighted mean of grades dor all categories.
All categories set to only caculate non-empty grades.

Category Example:

Quizes   10%
Discussions 25%
Witten Assign. 30%
Final Project 10%


Instructors must evaluate students' at mid-point of the course. About half of the quizzes and assignments are still not taken.

We have enountered calculation issues for the course total as far off as follows:

Moodle: 73.91
Manual: 68.10

This is the difference between failing the course and passing it at mid-point.


Is there an mathmatical explaination for this behavior?

Hi Kelly,

Could you provide a screenshot of the grade setup screen and a screenshot of a students grade with the name and picture blacked out. Also what version of Moodle are you using
