Unweighted SWM Extra Credit

philcali edited this page Nov 29, 2011 · 1 revision

We have added an Administrative option to allow unweighted extra credit for the Simple weighted mean of grades grade category aggregation method.

An admin can now optionally apply extra credit to the aggregated total.

Admin option

Current Gradebook Setup

Before

Given the above Gradebook setup, Moodle will calculate the grades like below:

Original Behavior

The calculation is applied like so:

50 + 50 + 5 = 105

105 / 2 = 52.50

After

Optional Behavior

The calculation is applied like so:

50 + 50 = 100

100 / 2 = 50

50 + 5 = 55

The extra credit is applied to the total, which is consistent to the weighted mean extra credit implementation.
