That is a very wise precaution. I do it too, especially before submitting a large chunk of text.

1. which Moodle version are you using and have you upgraded recently?
   
2. which question type are you using? (multiple choice, short answer, match, etc.)
3. where exactly do you want to use the < sign (in the question text, in the Question text, in the Answers text, in the feedback text?

Hi Tim, thanks for your hint, which was however not complete. This is what I have found out, using latest version of Moodle 1.7.1.+

1. If you give students the moodle/question:manage rights only, they have access to the Default category (only) where they can:
   1. view the questions
   2. edit the questions, save or save as new
   3. delete the questions
   4. they can't create their own questions
   5. they don't have access to any question category other than Default.
      
2. If you give students the moodle/question: manage and moodle/question: managecategory rights then they have the same rights as an editing teacher as regards the management of questions (i.e. create, etc.) and the management of questions categories. This is not quite as expected.
   

Unfortunately, it means students can edit and delete questions authored by the teacher. In my opinion, this should not be possible. I would like to obtain a situation in which each student could view everybody's questions (teacher & fellow students), could create & edit their own questions, but would not be allowed to edit or delete the teacher's questions or their fellow-students' questions. What do you think?
