Forum ratings allow users to evaluate posts in a forum.
 
==How to use==
If a user has mod/forum:rate ("Rate posts") = Allow in a forum context, the user will be able to rate posts in that forum (see below). Note that the predefined Teacher role has mod/forum:rate ("Rate posts") = Allow, while the predefined Student role has mod/forum:rate ("Rate posts") = Not set.  As a result, only teachers are allowed to rate forum posts by default.
 
A user who is allowed to rate posts will see, at the end of each post (except, of course, for his own posts) a label "Rate this post" with a pulldown menu.  The menu displays a [[Scales|scale]] that the forum creator selected in the [[Adding/editing_a_forum#Grade|Forum grade settings]].  The rating can become part of the [[Grades|Gradebook]].

==Tips and Tricks==
*Not all your students are seeing stars?  It is all about their browser settings, language and installed fonts. 
**If this is a problem, stick with the basics in you scale.  Perhaps create a scale that uses Numbers and words.
