This setting can show or hide the average grade earned by all students for a grade item or category. Students may be able to estimate other student's grades if the average is calculated from a small number of grades. For performance reasons the average is approximate if it is dependent on any hidden items.

If enabled, when editing is turned on, a calculator icon is shown for each grade item and category, with tool tips over calculated items and a visual indicator that a column is calculated.

If enabled, the grader report will contain an additional row displaying the average (mean) for each category and grade item.

This setting can show or hide the feedback given by the instructor for each grade item.

This setting can show or hide the actual grade of each grade item.

Show hidden - Hidden grade item names are shown but student grades are hidden. Only hidden until - Grade items with a "hide until" date set are hidden completely until the set date, after which the whole item is shown. Do not show - Hidden grade items are completely hidden.
