Any student that does not participate in a graded Moodle activity, such as a Quiz, Forum, Assignment, etc. will need to receive a grade of zero (0) for the grade book to calculate their overall grade correctly.
To insert zero grades for non-participants:
1. Click on Grades in the Contextual menu at the top of the Course page.

4. Once an item is selected, select Actions. Select Bulk insert grades. Note: You will not see Actions unless editing is turned on.
5. A dialog box will appear with a disclaimer to check, select Empty grades and 0.
6. Click the black Save button in the lower left-hand side of the page.
8. Repeat this process until all grade items have zero grades for non-participating students.
