Equal weights for assignments with different totals

Equal weights for assignments with different totals

Hi All,

I have the following situation:
    My students complete 8 practical assignments during a semester. These assignment totals vary between 10 and 25 marks. I however want them to count an equal amount when they get graded for the final marks.

At this stage it seems as if Moodle calculates the final weight for each assignment as a percentage of this assignment's contribution towards the final mark.

ex: If I have 2 Tests counting out of 50 and 100 respectively, Moodle will calculate the final mark as follows: Test 1 wil attribute 33.3% to the final mark and Test2 66.6%. I want to know whether it is possible to change this weight value to an equal amount for both without changing the total marks for each Test.

I have tried the 'Curve To', but it seems as if this only changes the maximum mark of the assignment and does not reale 'curve' the mark to the maximum.

Thanks

Jan
