Moodle 2.8: Manually Grade an Essay Question

Most of the quiz question options are graded automatically, but essay questions require manual grading.

  1. Go to your course and navigate to Grades.
  2. In the Grader report, find the quiz you want to grade and click on the quiz name at the top of the grade column.
  3. Scroll down the page until you see the class roster.
  4. For each student, find the question marked with “Requires grade” and click on it. This will open the question in a separate window.
  5. Scroll down until you see “Make a comment or override points” and click on the link.
  6. You will be able to write a comment or give feedback in the text box.
  7. Under the text box is a box to input points. Type in the numbers of points earned.
  8. Click “Save”. Back in the grader report, you should see the question now has a point value.
