How to configure weighting in the gradebook in Moodle 2.
The Weighted mean of grades aggregation method calculates each item grade by multiplying its
percentage by the the weight you assign. All items are then added together and divided by the
total amount of weight points in the category. The higher you weight an item, the more heavily it
will count toward a student's grade. Set up weighting for assignments/categories by following the
steps below.
Locate the Settings block, Course administration, click "Grades."

Enter the weighted values.
A value of 70 will cause that item to be weighted 70%. Weights can be assigned to an Activity
individually, or to an entire category.
To assign a weight to a category, the individual category's aggregation strategy does not need to
be set to Weighted mean of grades unless the Activities within the category will also be weighted.
