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

B

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.
