Can you explain what you mean by a "student request"? I'm struggling to understand what you're trying to do...

This is one of these questions that gets asked as regularly as a bus turning up. You may want to do a search.

The conclusion is that measuring students performance by time is a complete waste of time. However, I imagine that you're simply being required to produce these figures for the "suits".

So, there are some plugins, for example - https://moodle.org/plugins/block_timestat

 

Moodle has a comprehensive quiz module which I assume would cover the "reflective questioning" bit. The results can be exported.

This isn't a Moodle error, it's coming from your web server. So you need to ask your server team to investigate.

I'm guessing this is something like an over-sensitive mod-security setup. They can detect a site in theme developer mode (if that's what you mean) as a DOS attack because of the large number of files served.

It does beg the question why you would want to run a site on a hardened server in theme developer mode. You would normally do that sort of thing in a local developer environment (like your desktop machine). Also, Moodle 4.0 has been completely out of support for several months so an upgrade is probably a good idea.

At a glance, I can't see the 'contextlevel' or 'instanceid' parameters. They're supposed to have default values but not including optional parameters never seems to work for me.

You don't say which Moodle version you are talking about, but if it's reasonably recent it isn't $ (although you can assign it yourself, of course).
