You can try the Dataform module. It should allow you to do exactly what you describe. Students can simply submit their evaluations of other students' performance without first submitting some work. If you need assistance with setting up such an activity, we can continue the discussion in the Dataform module forum (https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=8192). 

I've just added a FAQ entry for this. Dataform_FAQ#How_can_I_display_totals_from_number_fields_within_an_entry_.28line.29_and_for_a_set_of_entries_.28column.29_in_the_view.3F. See if it makes sense.

Not necessarily. The 'training' role can be defined to grant few or no privileges in the system context and thereby in all lower contexts unless specified otherwise. Then you can add privileges in lower contexts as required. So in the designated blocks you can grant the block view permission to the role rather than to individuals and all those individuals assigned to the role in the system context should be able to see those blocks.

You can import a complete categories tree from an xml file. Consider for example the following hierarchy:

• Category A
  • Category A1
  • Category A2
• Category B
  • Category B1
  • Category B2

The file should start with:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<quiz>

Then the list of categories:

  <question type="category"><category><text>Category A</text></category></question>
  <question type="category"><category><text>Category A/Category A1</text></category></question>
  <question type="category"><category><text>Category A/Category A2</text></category></question>
  <question type="category"><category><text>Category B</text></category></question>
  <question type="category"><category><text>Category B/Category B1</text></category></question>
  <question type="category"><category><text>Category B/Category B2</text></category></question>

Note that a sub category is specified by a slash separated list of categories in the full path of the category.

And the file should end with:

</quiz>

For complex category trees you can build the list in a spreadsheet and use simple formulas to create for each category the xml line and then copy the xml lines into the import file.

I don't think that fixed width column would work well for a responsive layout.

Again, the button is not the issue here. The issue is the 'Add a block' fake block. I do, however, agree that it could be resolved by way of separation of sorts. To begin with there is simply no need for the 'Add a block' block. This could be a menu option available from the administration block and would open a dialog to choose the block type, similar to the dialog for choosing and activity/resource type.
