    Hi,

    When a student has done an assignment (Quiz) he gets 100% progress, no matter if he answered correctly or not? Also, I would like my students to take the assignment (Quiz) as many times as they want. Is this not possible?

    I have only used Quiz as assignments. And have graded students. But no grading shows up on their dashboard? The “Your progress based on received grades” is empty.

    Hope you can help.

    Best solution would be:
    No progress if Quiz not passed, Student can take the quiz again.
    Progress if Quiz passed. Student cant take the quiz again.

    …and an admin option for students not to take the quiz again, when not passed.

    Can anyone confirm this?

    Meaning?
    Does this work for you Stas? How should this feature really work?

    I’m sorry, but if you think I have time to manually test everyone’s report about that something is not working, you are wrong. Usually I ignore issues that are not confirmed by a couple of users.

    What about your problem, I tested it and it works on my local installation. Here’s the proof:

    Which means the problem comes from incorrect usage of the software.

    Regarding the proposed solutions: patches welcome!

    Hi Stas,

    Thank you for your answer, and of course I know that your time is limited. The quiz scoring works just fine. Its the [Courseware Dashboard] Progress circle, and Grading bar that I question + why no multiple responses to quizes? (that are failed by user).

    1. Progress circle shows 100%, even though 2 of 4 quizes/assignments are wrong/failed by user. From your demo video I now understand that this is how it should be…
    2. Grading bar does not show (just a little blue horizontal line), even though I have graded two assignments for student. (Your demo video said min. 2 assigment grades to show)

    I just want the student to view his/her progress in course in dashboard.
    Progressbar is no use for me since it will show progress for failed assigments, and failed assigments cant be re-taken by student.

    If you could please guide me to which file the command “Assigment is done, progress = progress + 1, and set this assigment as done”, and I will do the “If assignemt failed, dont add progress, and dont set this assignment as done” coding.

    Once again, everything is ok with the software, it’s the end-user problem that understood the workflow incorrectly.

    Progress is based on the number of assignments responses submitted, it’s not software’s job to calculate the student progress, the teacher should do that using grades (in the end, since the progress through a set of courses should never reflect his pass/fail situation). This also comes from the point that Courseware is a generic “framework” and it allows a couple of grades from percentage to letter (US grading style).

    Grading bar gets a form when there are a couple of grades, it’s almost useless to wait for it to draw 2-3 grades. And it also depends on what type of grade was submitted (letters are not processed).

    Regarding guiding, if you feel comfortable with coding, you should be comfortable with reading the code, which is available.

    Happy hacking!
