Why can't my students see their course totals?

Moodle hides course totals if they contain a hidden item by default. If using hidden activities and grade items, please enable “Show totals including/excluding hidden items” in the “Hide totals if they contain hidden items” option in the “Course grade settings” section of the gradebook setup tab.

Why can't my students and I see my courses starting soon in the navigation column on the left?

Moodle hides past and future courses by default. You may change the filter to “All” to see all courses in the Dashboard.
