Hi, I’ve looked around a bit and haven’t found much about it or how to do it. What I need is something like:

Let’s say I have 3 types of activities:  
Tests  
Exercises  
Attendance (which I can put in a module with a question just to see if the student has taken part)

Out of 3 exams, the student needs to do at least 2;  
out of 6 exercises, the student needs to do 4;  
and out of 10 attendance, the student needs to have 6.

Is there any way of configuring the overall course grade so that these requirements are met?

thanks!

hello @suigh  
Did you try using Test, excersises and Attendace as “assignement types”, and setting the “number of dropable” to 1, 2, and 4 respectively?

That is not perfect, but I believe is as close as you’d get with the standard Maple functionality.  
I hope it helps
