Enter marks for manual gradebook item

If your students are not submitting their work via Moodle, you can:

• Create a manual gradebook item, or
• Go to the Assignment settings and untick all Submission types, so that nothing can be submitted.

To grade these assessment types, enter manual marks directly into the Moodle gradebook.

Note

• You can use the Description text box in the Assignment Settings to remind students that they do not need to submit via Moodle. To show these instructions on the Moodle page, tick Display description on course page below the Description text box, then scroll down and select Save.
