If a user has mod/forum:rate ("Rate posts") = Allow in a forum context, the user will see a label "Rate this post" with a pulldown menu at the bottom of each post (except, of course, for his own posts). 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]].

As a result, only teachers are allowed to rate forum posts by default. | |||

Template:Forums Forum ratings allow either the teacher and/or students 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 see a label "Rate this post" with a pulldown menu at the bottom of each post (except, of course, for his own posts). The menu displays a scale that the forum creator selected in the Forum grade settings. The rating can become part of the Gradebook. 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.
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.
