Build on last attempt essay questions for quizzes

Welcome to this forum!

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know of a way to have manually graded essay questions from quizzes roll over onto the next attempt?

Steps/Scenario

I have a quiz with multiple attempts (3) and the grading is set to highest grade
On the first attempt the student completes the essay question.
The essay question is graded manually.
Student has second attempt at quiz and does not change the essay question text that has already been graded.
Second attempt is submitted.
Lecturer/teacher needs to re grade the essay question that was already graded on the first attempt.

I have attached a screen shot for reference.

All other questions such as true/false and multiple choice roll over. It is only the essay questions that need to be re graded even though they had been in the previous attempts.

I have searched the forums and found a tracker from 2015 that references this. It is still open/unresolved https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-49133

I thought I would reach out here to see if anyone has a solution or work around for this.

Thanks

Hi Brroke

One way to accomplish this would be to use the assignment activity for the essay questions - this allows more flexibility for marking file submission, grade calculation, notification to markers, comments inline, feedback files, attempts etc. use the max attempt or possibly last attempt depending on whether a user can be downgraded.

Does this sound Ok or is there some requirements not met.

Regards
