Pass/Fail Gradebook?

Pass/Fail Gradebook?

Hello,

I am struggling to get a pass/fail gradebook working in the way I want it. Does anyone have any tips or guides for setting up a pass/fail course, especially for Vocational Education and Training (VET) in Australia.

What I want is this:

Grade Items:

A two-outcome scale (Satisfactory [S]/Not Yet Satisfactory [NYS]). If student achieves the passing grade in a Quiz, they will receive the S grade.

Otherwise, they will receive the NYS grade.

This is working.

Grade Categories:

I have a Grade Category with two items in it. I want to configure it so that if all items within the Grade Category are 'S', the category total will be 'S'. Otherwise, the category total will be NYS.

I have set the Aggregation Method as Lowest Grade.

This is not working. The Category Total is showing as S if the student has one S and one NYS item, or even one NYS item and one not yet attempted item.

Course Total:

If all grade items are S, course total will be S. Until then, course total should be NYS.

This is not working.

Here is a screenshot from the Gradebook:


In the highlighted example, the grade for both the Knowledge Assessments category and the Course Total should be NYS.

Thank you.

Did you tried something like:
In the total course ( you have to do it manuallly editing the formula) :

=if( [ [task1] ]="S" and [ [task2] ]="S", S, NYS )

More info: https://docs.moodle.org/36/en/Grade_calculations#Example_calculations and

Also if and is not implemented in moodle you could do some nesting ( i put an example with two tasks:

=if( [ [task1] ]="S", if( [ [task2] ]="S", S, NY ), NYS )

With three:
=if( [ [task1] ]="S", ( if( [ [task2] ]="S",  ( if( [ [task3] ]="S", S, NYS), NYS, NY ), NYS )

Thanks for the suggestion Eduardo - I managed to solve my issue another way but I will keep that in mind for the future. I didn't know custom formulas were possible.

Thanks.
