'User' and 'Myself' see different percentages in "Contribution to course total'

Hi Moodle

In my sandpit, the User (student) sees a percentage of the assessment  in "Contribution to course total' while Myself (teacher) sees the actual percentage the learner has achieved toward their final grade (which is what I want). This is the case for all 3 assessments I have set up. An issue with the set up? 
Cheers in advance.

Student view

Teacher view (with the actual % earned towards the course total - far more useful for the student IMO)

Just to head off the more obvious questions about the Moodle environment (I work for the same organisation and was discussing this with Howard last night.):

Moodle version: Moodle 4.0.5+ (Build: 20230105)
PHP version: PHP Version 7.4.3-4ubuntu2.19
Server: Ubuntu 20.04

What seems to be happening is that the teacher view correctly displays the overall course totals while the student view states that it is displaying the course totals but is, in fact, calculating the category totals.

Hi Howard,

Good to hear that the issue is resolved. 微笑 If you've time, it would be good if you could share your solution to help others with the same problem.

The problem arose through the default settings which do not include hidden assessments in the weightings towards the course total.
Hidden assessments are hidden from the students but also hidden from Gradebook. This means that the contribution to course total was skewed. The screenshot below shows the correct contribution. (There is another assessment coming with a 40% weighting.)
In the original post, because only one assessment was visible, the contribution towards the course total was also shown as 60%, which was obviously false as the assessment contribution was only 60% of 30% of the course total (18%).



To fix the problem we went to 'Course grade settings':




Scroll down to 'Overview report' and select 'Show totals including hidden items':





Then scroll to the bottom of the page to 'Hide totals if they contain hidden items' and select 'Show  totals if they contain hidden items' 


Hope this helps.
