What are hurdles?

In some courses one (or more) of the assessment items may be classified as a hurdle task which means that a student must achieve a certain mark on this assessment in order to achieve a passing grade (or higher) in the course.

Gradebook does not have the ability to apply hurdles to the Overall mark however Gradebook can assist in identifying students that may have failed a hurdle task which will then make it easier for you to make adjustments to the Overall mark for those students.

Note: If your course has multiple hurdles you may need to create additional hurdle columns to assist in identifying students that have failed these hurdles.

  1. Create a hurdle marking schema
  2. Create a hurdle column
  1. Reviewing hurdle column
  2. Applying Hurdles to Overall Mark

3. Reviewing hurdle column

The Gradebook column sorting can be used to sort the newly created Hurdle column to assist in identifiying those students that have failed the Hurdle task.

To sort the Hurdle column, click on the name of the column.
Note: Do not click on the column icon as this will bring up the Edit and Delete options.
