Manual marking quizzes - multiple attempts

Hi guys, 

Could someone tell me if I'm doing something wrong, if a student is doing something wrong or if this is an issue with moodle?

  1. Student makes an attempt on a quiz with 20 essay questions where attempts build on previous.
  2. I, as marker, grade it and provide feedback to all questions. They got 1 wrong.
  3. Student returns and resubmits to correct wrong answer.
  4. When i run manual grading report all 20 questions appear to need regrading and is listed as "not yet graded" even after i mark the questions they edited.

Is the student resubmitting wiping all my manual grading?

just tested this with a dummy student. even though on the submission page questions are listed as "Not changed since last attempt" it still requires markers to manually regrade all questions including comments rather than parsing the grade from the previous submission.

In the quiz, each attempt is made up of new copies of each question. What the each attempt builds on last options does is to copy the students last response from the previous quiz attempt into the new attempt when the attempt starts. After that, Moodle does not know about the connection between the two questions.

So, it does not copy the teacher's manual grade if later, after the question is submitted, the student has not changed their response. That could be done. It is clearly a good idea, but no-one has yet made the time to implement it. MDL-49133 is an existing feature request for it. Feel free to vote, or get someone to make a patch.
