Hey everybody ! First of all a little though to all of you, hoping that everything is going well in these hard times !!
(Already
asked this on the French moodle but it seems like no one has any answer
at all (and I already apologize for my bad englando))
My issue :
Currently, as you may know, MCQs are made by adding the % points given to each item.
For
example if I have 3 correct answers with each of them graded with 33%
question's value, ticking 2 of 3 would result in getting 66% of the
total question value (which is basically 0,66 point out of 1 in most
case)
The problem is that my university has some sort of... weird & random grading system. Actually this is beacause the initial logic is opposed to moodle's one : the student gets started with 1 point and then loses 50% of the mark for each error (rather than starting from 0 and earning points with correct answers)
If the student has the right combination of answers : 1 point
If the student has a fault in the patern : 0,5 points
If the student has 2 or more faults : 0 points
(And
yet, the TRUE university's system has en intermediate stage which makes
that "2 faults = 0.2 point" then "3faults or more = 0 point" but we
will limit ourselves to my example because that would be nice already to
have this)
Searching in both
French & English forums I did find the possibility of making a
"patern-like" answer which seems to lead to a "all-or-none law" : the
student is left with 0 point if he has a single (or more) wrong answer.
This
doesn't fit our standards because we would like an extra step in which
you get 50% out of the total point if you only have 1 wrong answer.
Thing that I didn't manage to find anywhere ☹️
I specify that in our model, is counted "incorrect" a "false" item which has been ticked by the student BUT also is counted "incorrect" a "true" item which has not been ticked (which is slightly different from assuming that the only "incorrect" thing is when you tick a "false" item you'll agree to that)
Here we are, you can't reproduce this model faithfully using the inital %-like moodle system. I think i did widely look on the various forums seeking for a solution suited to my case but I already apologize if i missed an obvious one !
Hoping i've made this clear, I will explain as much time as needed to be understood with my approximative english.
Thanks a lot to those who read this and have a nice day !
