Configure and publish grades to Moodle Gradebook

You should configure grading before students begin the activity. In the Grading section, adjust the weighting to determine how much each step of the FeedbackFruits activity will contribute towards the final grade.

Click Configure.
You will see each step (Grading facet) of the FeedbackFruits activity.
Use the buttons in the Include column to include (Purple) or exclude(greyed out) a step from contributing to the final grade. Excluding a step is the equivalent of setting the weighting to 0.
In the weight column, enter your desired weighting.
In Ratings received on work in total, you can further adjust the weighting of each criterion.
Ensure that the total equals 100.
Click Done.

The publish feedback button will publish comments and ratings students have received.
