Courses: set a pass mark
Summary
For courses with 2+ scoring modules, set an optional pass mark for the whole course.
When you add a second scoring module to your course, Safety Made Simple has additional options to manage your content.
Course pass mark explained
For courses with 1 scoring module, this module's score is the score for the whole course.
For courses with more than 1 scoring module, you can set an optional course pass mark: this option is available only after you add a second scoring module to your course.
The course pass mark lets you set a Passed score requirement for an average of the scoring modules.
Safety Made Simple collects the results of all scoring modules and calculates an average. To pass the course, the learner's average must be equal or higher than the course pass mark.
So, if a learner fails one module, they can still pass the course, if their average score is high enough.
Note: If you do not set a course pass mark, learners who fail one exam fail the whole course.
