When Forums Need More Than One Grade

Problem:
We have two separate grades for one total assignment. The assignment: Post a Report and then Post a Peer Review of Another Student's Report. Report gets a grade of 12 points, a Peer Review gets a grade of 4 points.

Solution:
I read a post in the Moodle Forums that says to create a hidden forum for the second grade. I thought this meant I would have to log into each student's profile and post as them so that we could assign a grade to each posting. Not true! Here is how to make this work:

1. Have your forum the way you want it (for us, each student post a single discussion topic and the peer reviews are posted as replies) - out of 12 points
2. Create a hidden forum for the second grade you want to set it up for (I called them Lesson X Peer Review Grade) - out of 4 points
***make sure that your instructors have the permissions to manually input grades into the grader report
3. Have your instructors manually input the grades for the hidden forum - it still shows up for the student under their grade sheet
**hint: make sure they turn editing on (the button in the upper right corner)

ex.:
Student.......Lesson X Forum....Lesson X Peer Review Grade...Lesson X+1 Forum...Lesson X+1 Peer Review
Jane Doe.....12..........................4.............................................12..............................4
