    Hi there, Currently the passing grade for a course is calculated based on the aggregate mark of all the quizzes in a course.  Only auto-evaluated quizzes count towards this aggregate mark.  What would be great is to have functionality that allows the final grade to be calculated based on a quiz of the instructors choice, without them having to have all other quizzes manually evaluated.   For example, in our tutorial series we have ~20 small quizzes throughout the tutorial that need to be auto-evaluated.  However, these quizzes do not affect wether the student passes or fails- only the final exam should.  Is there any way to achieve this?   Cheers Colin

    This is a nice suggestion and can be easily implemented in the current setup as well. I am adding this to the planned section, however this can be implemented in few lines of course, so we will release a tip for this in future.

    Filters using which this can be easily implemented Numerator filter : wplms_course_student_marks Denominator filter : wplms_course_maximum_marks accept parameter $course_id,$user_id.

    Will be releasing a plugin for this as there are more than 1 change, but it is really easy with these filters in place.
