Moodle Assignment feedback guide

You must hide the individual assignment grade item while you are marking to ensure that marks and feedback are released at the same time to all students. To do this:

1. Select Grades in the contextual navigation menu above the module name. The Grader report page opens
2. Open the drop-down menu on the left of the page and choose Gradebook setup.

3. Select the Edit link on the same row as the name of the grade item you are marking.
4. Select Hide.

From the Gradebook setup tab you can also hide the Module total. This is necessary if students can work out their hidden grades from the total or if you have not set up your weighting in the Grader Report and the Course total is incorrect.

1. Select the Edit link on the same row as the Module total at the bottom of the list of grades.
2. Select Hide.

   

A module can have more than one grade category (e.g. Formative and Summative). You can hide all the grades within a category by hiding the grade category.

Grade categories are displayed in a folder icon and highlighted in grey.

1. Select the Edit link on the same row as the name of the category.
2. Select Hide from the menu that opens.

1. Select Grades in the contextual navigation menu above the module name.
2. Turn Edit Mode on.
3. Scroll down the page to find the relevant student/assignment/grade.
4. In the column for the relevant assignment, select the eye icon to Hide the grade item for relevant student.

When you are marking student assignments and have hidden the assignment via Setup in Grades, do not make any changes to the setting Notify students in the Assignment settings or within the assignment grading screen. If you change this to No at any stage in the marking process an automatic notification from Moodle will not be sent to students informing them of the release of their grades and feedback.
