Someone at the OU pointed this out, and I thought it was worth fixing, but then I thought I should post here to make sure other people agree this is a good idea.

Background

When you create an essay question in the quiz, you can set what size the input box should be, to give students a hint what sort of lenght answer you expect. For example:

The bug

The problem is when a teacher reviews the student's attemp (or the student reviews their own).

You no longer get the visual indication of how much input is/was expected.

Proposed fix

I think this is an improvement. I hope other people agree.

(Note, this but only happened if you set 'Response format' to 'HTML editor'. There was no issue with 'Response format' 'Plain text'. So, this fix increases consistency.)

The tracker issue for this is MDL-68277.

This is definitely a good change and I can't see any reason why it would be a problem.

How to add or remove a custom column in the quiz module grading overview table. In the requirement we have, we need to add the total number of questions attempted by the student. And also, when we rename the column name by modifying the code in "report.php", the name is added with a set of square brackets. Can we avoid it?

We are using a plugin called "Manual Grading by students". The Image of the table is shown below:


Please help us with this! Thanks!

Can the comment box be removed where the teacher views all the questions written by the student? We need only the marks box.
