Display question Grade during quiz ?

Display question Grade during quiz ?

Hi,

I didn't see this feature in the documentation, nor on the quiz settings page, nor on Google. 

Is there a way to display, during the quiz attempd, the current question grade ? I'm having some quizes that don't have every question with the same grades, because some questions are more important/diffucult than others. I would like the students to have this information during the quiz attemp so that they know exactly which questions are more important than others.

Is there a way to do that out of the box ? If not, would there be some plugin who could do that ?

 

Thanks !

I assume you mean either a running total of marks or grade letter achieved according to the current running total of marks. This feature is not currently available and there is no existing plugin to do so. I don't think it would be awesomely hard to implement however.

Moodle does work like this. There is a grey box next to each question that shows what the maximum possible mark for each question is. http://docs.moodle.org/26/en/Using_Quiz#How_students_take_a_quiz

Dear Tim,

Is it possible to hide just that little grey box? I don't want my students to see the amount of points they can get for each question.

Regards,

Noortje

This seems to be an FAQ, so I added it to the list of quiz FAQs: http://docs.moodle.org/27/en/Quiz_FAQ#How_can_I_hide_the_number_of_marks_available_for_each_question.3F

Hopefully that makes sense.

Can someone tell me if it is possible to give each question the same ammount of points and still apply weighing to each question? Maybe with aggregation methods or something?

I hope someone can help me.

That's not possible within a quiz.  You could get really creative with separate quizzes and the gradebook but I doubt that's what you're looking for.

What's the reason you want to do this?

I wan't my students to take this quiz. The questions are supposed to give an idea of their organisation, but the questions are not equally important. But I want my students to take the quiz without that information.

Is this really a quiz that's grading their knowledge?  Or is it more like a survey or a personality test?  If the second option is true you might be better off taking a look at the Questionnaire module.  Its a plugin that you can find in the plugin database.

Indeed it is more like a personality test. I tried to use a feedbackform but it's not possible to weigh the questions.

I'll try the questionnaire module, thanks

Yes, the questionnaire add-on seems to be just what you need to use. I hope you are using a very recent version of Moodle, (at least 2.6) to benefit from the features recently added to Questionnaire. For further questions about that module, please post to the Questionnaire forum.

"The questions are supposed to give an idea of their organisation,"

What does that mean? Please give concrete examples.

Hi Joseph,

I think the example is not conrete because my English isn't that good.

The questions help the teacher to understand the processes in the company, where the students work. Whether a manager is compliant or stern, and more information like that....

Some questions are more important than others but I don't want my students to know that.


I hope the example is more concrete now.

"Moodle does work like this. There is a grey box next to each question that shows what the maximum possible mark for each question is"

Was I correct in there being no running total score, i.e. if I have scored 1 on each of the first five questions of a 10 mark quiz, there is nowhere it shows me the running total of 5/10?
