Is there a way to get a simple fail/pass result from a quiz? My teachers always get grades. Some of them want a simple fail or pass result in the gradelist, not a grade.
Is this possible?
I am also curious if there is a similar function with assignments.
With assignments it is easy: just add a scale called 'not passed / passed'.
However with tests this proves difficult somehow.

Nobody knows?
Hi Richard
I'm guessing here, but given that you can use the condition passed or failed a quiz to restrict access, it must be possible to access the flags.
Sorry, but I haven't got time to check this myself, but the Configurable Reports plugin is good at listing non-standard data. It might be worth you checking that out here.
It won't change what appears in the Gradebook, but it should be able to provide a quick overview.
Hope this helps!

Hello Richard,
Have you looked at course completion? This allows teachers to set a minimum passing score for a quiz or other activity. Those that are completed appear with a check next to them on the course page.
OK thanks, will look into that.
However I thought we could use custom scales in quiz grading.
I am familiar with scales used in other assignment types, but I believe that Quiz only works with numerical scoring for grades. However, it does give qualitative feedback in many other ways. You can for instance set a pass/fail comments in the Quiz settings -> Overall feedback section. The student will be then told whether the quiz earns pass or fail at the review, but only the score is reported in the grade book. If your teachers are wanting to just five feedback and then use the numerical score for a course grade then this may help.
If you are wanting to count quizzes in the grade book as only pass or fail, then there is probably a way of doing that in the grade book using the aggregation settings. It just depends what your teachers are really wishing to do.
I thought a little more about what your are asking Richard and looked at the code some. It does not seem that quiz supports Scales as an available grading option at present. The default input that allows the changing of the form has been overridden with a custom implementation so it only works with a point scale.
That said it seems like a reasonable expectation scales could be implemented in the quiz. It is not an uncommon practice for teachers apply scales to a numeric score of a test. This is often done for grade normalization. I would assume that a teacher would have to select a custom scale in the settings and then enter cut scores as with the overall feedback. The numeric score would then be converted using this scheme and the the scale grade would be reported to the gradebook.
