# Manually changing a grade in the Moodle Grader report

As students take quizzes in the Moodle courses, occasionally the teacher may need to change a students grade. In some cases, the student may successfully contest an answer to a quiz question. The teacher can subsequently change the grade, as apposed to making the student take the quiz again. The following tutorial will explain how to manually change a grade in the Moodle 2.3 Grader Report. If you missed how to configure the Grader report, please see the article on [Changing the Grader Report / Gradebook preferences in Moodle](/support/edu/moodle/grader-report-preferences/).
