Course Mark

The number which appears in the black “pill” shape in the top right-hand corner of each course table is the the % average (mean) for the Total column.

Course details with the total average score button highlighted.

Please ignore this number.

The figure comes from the Total column in the Grades Centre, which is set as the “External Grade” as default.  This can be changed to any column in the grades centre by selecting “set as External Mark” from the chosen column’s contextual menu.

The Total column is not available to students so this figure will not show for students.
