Correcting Uncategorized Activities - PD's Update Gradebook Setup

Program Directors: Moodle Admins run a weekly report of "Uncategorized" activities in Gradebooks, to ensure that all scored activities are in the correct categories and count toward the course total.

• If you have uncategorized activities that should count toward the course total, move them into the correct category. 
• If you have practice activities or other ungraded assignments without a category, create a new "Practice Activities" Category and move those activities into it. Do not use the current "Ungraded" category because it is hidden from students. If you put a practice activity in the Ungraded category, students can not see their results. 

Note: If you have an uncategorized activity in a live course, you must also correct it in the Template version of the course.

3. Once in Gradebook Setup, scroll to the uncategorized actvity. Under the “Weight” column, make sure that the weight is set to “0.0” so that this assignment does not affect the students’ grades.
