No, Moodle will scale the rubric/marking guide score to 100 even if your rubric/marking guide doesn’t add up to 100 (assuming you haven’t changed this in the assignment settings). The rubric will work out the marks based on the points awarded for each criterion. When you create the rubric, you will be able to determine the points each level is worth. For example, if you have chosen the levels in the green boxes for each criterion, the student would receive a mark of 6/9, this will appear as 66.7/100 in the gradebook The marking guide will work out the marks based on the points decided by the grader, the grader can only give a score up to the maximum marks. For example, if the grader awards a mark of 7 on the assignment below, the student will receive a mark of 7/10, this will appear as 70/100 in the gradebook |

Only the Marking Guide option gives you the chance to use ‘frequently used comments’. If a teacher regularly uses the same comments when marking, it is possible to add these to a frequently used comments bank.
When you reuse a marking guide the frequently used comments will be duplicated for reuse too. |

Each time you reuse a marking guide or rubric, a new version is created. This means you can edit the new version without it affecting any of the previous versions. |
