Updating the jokers in a calculated question after the test has been taken

by Agathe ZEBROWSKI - Tuesday, November 5, 2019, 8:19 PM

Hi everyone,

I am facing a problem in a set of 4 calculated questions in a quizz that the students have already taken. It was my first time using calculated questions, and I didn't set it correctly : the first question used a different set of jokers than the 3 other questions.

I have successfully modified the questions so that when creating a new quiz it will use only one set of jokers.

But in the test that the students have already taken, I cannot update it, so that the answers are not accounted for correct even if the student is right. Having 50+ students, it will take me a long time to grade manually all the answers, and even so I can change the grade but not the "correct/incorrect" feedback, which will be confusing for them.

Is there any way I could update the three last questions to match the set of jokers used in the first question - after the test has been taken-?

Thanks a lot!

Here is a picture of my pb, with the jokers printed on the question.

Hello Agathe,

Unfortunately, I do not have a solution to your problem.

Like you, I used the calculated question, but I quickly reached its limits. Fortunately, Jean-Michel Védrine told me that the Formulas question could be useful to me. He was right, I think this type of question is more efficient than the calculated question, especially with regard to random variables.

For the type of questions that you show in your post, it may be a good idea to look at the formulas question (https://moodleformulas.org/).

This question is not one of the core questions, but it is very much used. I wish that as many people as possible use it to ensure its survival, which is not threatened anyway

Feel free to contact me if you have questions about the formulas question and I will try to help you.
