Hello. One of our UCSF instructors wants their students to each get a unique essay question in their quiz. There are 120 students, and 120 questions in the question bank... so they want each student to get a different question in their 1-question-quiz. Is this possible? Or is it fully random, such that some students may get a duplicate question, even if there are exactly the same number of students as their are questions in the question bank? Thank you for the help!
Unique "random" quiz question for each student?

I doubt there is any way to guarantee each student gets a different question in a quiz.
But you could create 120 quizzes, each with one of the questions assigned and set each one to be dependent on user so no one but the instructor sees all 120--only the person who is assigned to see it will see it...then set an activity after the essay which requires completion of one of the 120 quizzes, so in course completion you require the following activity complete.
Seriously complicated. But possible.

This is not possible. At least, not if you use Moodle to give each student their question.
The teacher coudl email a different question to each studenet, then have a non-random Moodle essay question saying "Write the answer to the question I emailed you". Or some similar work-around.

Thank you for the suggestions. The test is going to be delivered online and it's not proctored, so they're considering a few different work-arounds, though it looks like the course coordinator will end up creating 120 quizzes. I liked the idea of using the assignment tool to collect each student's responses, you just have to figure out a way to deliver the question to each student, and have the include their in their response.
