The **Display Grade to Learner** setting controls whether the course certificate, course/quiz grade(s), pass/fail indicator, and transcript are visible on the [learner interface](/v1/docs/learner-interface-viewing-your-course-enrollment-history). - Show - The course certificate, grade(s), pass/fail indicator, and transcript are visible to the learner. - Hide - The course certificate, grade(s), pass/fail indicator, and transcript are not visible to the learner. ### Grade Rounding Determines how the course grade is rounded. - Precise - Rounds the grade to 2 decimal places. For example, a grade of 87.754% would be rounded to 87.75%. - Rounded - Rounds the grade to the nearest whole number. For example, a grade of 87.7% would be rounded to 88%. - Truncated - Removes decimals from the grade. For example, a grade of 87.7% would be rounded to 87%. Changing this setting will not affect already calculated grades. ### Grade Calculation This setting is only available when the [**Grading Options** setting](/v1/docs/online-course-grading#grading-options-required) is set to *Graded*. It determines how the learner's course grade is calculated. - Final Exam - The mark from the learner's last quiz is recorded as their course grade. If you select this option, the last task in the course must be a quiz. - Average All Quizzes - Averages the learner's quiz marks to calculate their course grade. Only quizzes that have the [**Include Grade In Final Course Grade Calculation** setting](/v1/docs/quiz-completion-preferences#include-quiz-grade-in-final-course-grade-calculation) checked are included in the calculation. For example, suppose a learner had the following quiz grades: - 25% - 50% - 75% The course grade would be 50% calculated by (25+50+75)/3. - Weighted Average - Considers the possible number of points for each quiz. Only quizzes that have the [**Include Grade In Final Course Grade Calculation** setting](/v1/docs/quiz-completion-preferences#include-quiz-grade-in-final-course-grade-calculation) enabled are included in the calculation. When calculating a weighted average, only the last quiz attempt is used for each quiz. For example, suppose the learner had the following quiz grades: - 5/20 - 5/10 - 30/40 The course grade would be 57% calculated by (5+5+30)/(20+10+40). ### Percent to Pass This setting is only available when the [**Grade Calculation** setting](/v1/docs/online-course-grading#grade-calculation) is set to *Average All Quizzes* or *Weighted Average*. The **Percent to Pass** setting is the minimum course grade percentage the learner must have to pass the course. ### All Graded Quizzes Must Pass This setting is only available when the [**Grade Calculation** setting](/v1/docs/online-course-grading#grade-calculation) is set to *Average All Quizzes* or *Weighted Average*. Selecting the **All Graded Quizzes Must Pass** setting requires the learner to pass all quizzes in order to pass the course. For example, suppose a course grade is calculated using an average of all quizzes and that the minimum required percentage is 70%. Suppose a learner in the course had the following quiz grades: - 85% (pass) - 60% (fail) - 75% (pass) In this example, the average of all quizzes is 73% which is above the minimum required to pass the class. However, because the learner did not pass all quizzes, the learner will not pass the course. ## Related - [Adding a Quiz](/adding-a-quiz.md) - [Adding an Online Course](/adding-an-online-course.md) - [Editing an Online Course](/editing-an-online-course.md) - [Learner Interface: Viewing Your Course Enrollment History](/learner-interface-viewing-your-course-enrollment-history.md) - [Quiz Grading Dashboard](/quiz-grading-dashboard.md) - [Settings: Online Courses](/online-course-settings.md)
