This article is a spinoff from the attendance article read earlier and will address marking excused absences (as defined by the university) in the Moodle Gradebook.
Specific Days-One may go in and manually excuse a student from a specific day by:
Viewing the grader report and selecting single view icon on the date that one wishes to exclude from a student’s average.
Select “Exclude” next to the student’s name. Feedback is optional.
Select “Save”
Message will appear with the amount of grades modified.
Click “Continue”
6. The excluded date will no longer be factored into the student’s average.
NOTE: An instructor may select the single view for a student by:
Selecting the icon next to the student’s name.
The following screen should now appear to input grades or exclude for this specific student.
Make the editing needed on the attendance grade.
Select “Save”
Message will appear with the amount of grades modified.
Click “Continue”
Excused absence is no longer part of the grade.
Using the Attendance option in Moodle-Once attendance bar has been set up. In order to excuse a student, the instructor simply does not make any selection on this student. (See “Classroom Attendance” article-Section 3 on Attendance activity in Moodle)
