The Grader Report is the primary page in Moodle's gradebook to view and edit student grades for the entire class. When you add a graded activity to your course, a column is added to the report. Scores automatically appear in the Grader report when students complete activities such as a quiz, or when you enter grades from within an activity such as a Forum or Assignment. You can also enter or override scores directly in the Grader report.
