Instructors may hear this question from students regarding an assignment and how it will affect their grade.  AND instructors may ask themselves the same question when entering scores into the grade book.  You can direct students to your syllabus to answer their question and Moodle can help answer the 2nd question when entering grades.

The point range for each of the assessments in your course can be set to appear at the bottom of the gradebook to help when entering scores.  Know whether an assignment is worth 50, 5, or 20 points.
