 Grade to pass in Moodle 2.9 If you want to set a passing grade for an activity, this can be done very quickly from the setup screen. There's no need to edit the grade book directly. Here's the setup screen for an assignment. And by the way, although we have a description here to help our students, it's no longer required because a new setting allows the site administrator to decide whether to force activity descriptions across the site or not. Scrolling down and expanding grades, we can then set a passing grade for this assignment, which will be reflected in the grade book. And this can be done on the setup screens of other graded and rated activities as well.
