For my demo course I have the following categories in the gradebook:
- Quizzes (30%) consists of 3 x Moodle Quizzes each worth max 10 marks
- Assignments (40%) consists of 2 x Assignments each worth max 100 marks
- Final exam (30%) consists of 1 x Moodle quiz worth max 30 marks
- Total MARKS available for the course = 260
I thought I could create a manual grade item worth up to 13 marks (5% of 260) and mark it as extra credit, but when I test this by enrolling and grading a dummy user, the bonus marks are ignored. I think this is because the 3 categories have their weightings overridden, and the bonus grade isn't in one of these categories.
I'm attaching a screenshot of my gradebook setup. Help?!
