Choose the rule that matches the evidence of learning you want, then check the threshold and the required activities.
On desktop #
- Open the course and choose Settings → Assessment.
- Read the available Evaluation options. Select the method appropriate to the course: lessons, the final quiz, passed quizzes, questions, marks or the final assignment.
- Check that the required quiz or assignment actually exists in the curriculum.
- Set Passing Grade (%) where the selected method shows this field. When evaluating by the final quiz, check the passing grade in that quiz’s Settings.
- Save the intended settings and preview the course information. Tell learners what they must complete and what they must pass.

Completion is different from passing #
Finishing the content and meeting the passing rule are separate questions. My Courses exposes Finished, Passed and Failed states. Describe both the required activities and the evidence needed to pass so that learners understand the result.
Retakes and the finish button #
Under Settings → General, inspect Re-take Course and Finish button. The retake control specifies the permitted number of attempts; zero disables retakes. The finish-button option can allow finishing after all items are complete even when the assessment has not been passed. Choose this deliberately.
Changing an active course #
The editor warns that changing the evaluation method affects learners’ assessment results. Review the consequences before changing a course with active learners. A new method should not be treated as a cosmetic update.
Build a single-choice knowledge check #
- In the course’s Curriculum, add a New Quiz and give it a title that describes the check.
- Open the quiz using Edit in popup. Add each question as Single Choice. Write the complete question and give each answer a distinct, plausible meaning.
- Mark the one correct answer for each question. For example, “commuters will pay the proposed price” is an assumption to test, while a measured collection-time result is an observation.
- Review the quiz settings. In this two-question example, Passing Grade is 100%, one retake is allowed, and review with correct answers is enabled. Use rules appropriate to your own course.
- Choose Update, close the editor and reopen it. Check the answer text and selected correct answer for every question.
- In course Settings → Assessment, choose final-quiz evaluation when the final quiz is the intended course assessment. Check the quiz’s own passing rule: the course-level percentage field is not shown for this choice.
Use the desktop quiz editor for configuring questions and assessment rules.
Creating a quiz and saving its settings does not verify the learner’s result. Before inviting learners, complete a separate learner test from enrolment through submission and review.
