Instructors may need to exclude a grade item or total for a student or group of students so that it is not calculated as part of their overall course total.
To exclude individual scores in Moodle's gradebook, follow the instructions in this article.
Excluding A Grade Using the Single View
To access the Single view for grade exclusions, follow the instructions in the "Using Single View in Moodle's Gradebook" article.
A grade being excluded removes it from contributing to the course total at all. It will drop the grade entirely both from the combined weight of the other items in the gradebook, and from the course total.
Excluding Individual Grades
To exclude a grade item:
- Navigate to Single View page via the steps in the "Using Single View in Moodle's Gradebook" article.
- In the top right corner of the Moodle window, enable "Edit mode".
- Change the "View by" option to "Grade items".
- In the Single view table, find the row of the student that should have their grade excluded.
- In that student's row, in the "Exclude" column, check the box.
- Click the "Save" button at the bottom of the page.
That grade item will now be ignored when calculating the specific students course total.
Excluding Grades in Bulk
To drop a grade item for all students:
- Navigate to Single View page via the steps in the "Using Single View in Moodle's Gradebook" article.
- In the top-right corner of the page, enable "Edit mode".
- Change the "View by" option to "Grade items".
- In the drop-down menu labeled "Select a grade item", choose a grade item to exclude.
- In the "Actions" drop-down menu, select "Exclude all".
- In the bottom right corner of the page, click the "Save" button.
This grade is now excluded from the gradebook aggregation and will not be counted.
