Giving factor to an exam

You can give a factor to a Quiz (exam) or Assignment directly in the grader report, without changing the original grades in the grade item itself (such as quiz, assignment, etc.)

How to give a factor in Moodle?

1. On the course website, click "Grades" in the top menu.

6. To finish, click on the "Save changes" button at the bottom of the page.

The factor points will be added to the grades, up to the maximum grade set in the item.
For example,
If a 3 point is set in the "offset" field:

  • for a student who received a 90 on the exam, the updated grade will be 93

  • for a student who received a 98 on the exam, the updated grade will be 100
