Shows a teacher all of the assignments and manual quiz questions (essays and file responses) that have been submitted, but not graded. The block is configured to work with groups that is, teachers will only see the assignments submitted by students if they are both members of the same group. You'll have to let me know if it works with courses that don't use groups at all. You can install the block on the Front Page and it will show ungraded assignments for ALL courses, and if you put the block on a course page it will only show the ungraded assignments for that course.

We are having lengthy start-up times of about 1 - 4 mins when we login to Moodle. I firstly logged a support request with our Moodle provider and they have said it is due to the logic in the GradeMe plugin. We are on Moodle 2.7. - This plugin is great and my teachers love it, however are you please able to shed some light on the issue and/or assist me in fixing it?
Thank you, Andrew
I'm testing the block in Moodle 2.7.5
When a teacher clicks on the red check mark which takes them to the student submission page and does not put a score but the teacher clicks on the 'Save changes' button, that submission disappears from the Grade me block.
However, the teacher still see that there is a submission that 'Needs grading' in the Assignment page (eg. /moodle/mod/assign/view.php?id=333)
It seems that the block Grade me is not coordinated with the assignments that need a grade.
I have run the cron
Thank you, Erika
I think I found the problem, in \moodle\blocks\grade_me\plugins\assign\assign_plugin.php in the query:
$query = ", asgn_sub.id submissionid, asgn_sub.userid, asgn_sub.timemodified timesubmitted
FROM {assign_submission} asgn_sub
JOIN {assign} a ON a.id = asgn_sub.assignment
LEFT JOIN {block_grade_me} bgm ON bgm.courseid = a.course AND bgm.iteminstance = a.id
LEFT JOIN {assign_grades} ag ON ag.assignment = asgn_sub.assignment AND ag.userid = asgn_sub.userid AND asgn_sub.attemptnumber = ag.attemptnumber
WHERE asgn_sub.userid $insql AND asgn_sub.status = 'submitted' AND a.grade <> 0
AND (ag.id IS NULL OR asgn_sub.timemodified > ag.timemodified)";
the last line refers to the field [assign_grades.id] and compares it to NULL, but I think it should say:
AND (ag.grade IS NULL ....
Thanks again!
We recently investigated a similar problem for a client and it turned out that they had somehow accumulated a large number of duplicate entries in the Grade Me database table. To fix the speed problem, we truncated the the mdl_block_grade_me table. Once the Moodle cron was finishes running they had the same functionality but at a much faster speed, so you may want to check that table and see if it has duplicate entries.
Our last release of Grade Me included a patch that should prevent duplicate entries from being generated again, so if your Grade Me block has been updated to the latest version, and you have duplicate entries truncating that table may be the simplest way to fix the problem. The cron job for Grade Me finds all of the currently gradeable assignments (and other some other gradeables when configured to look at them) and adds the ones that aren't present in the table. Truncating the table will empty it, however since it looks for all of the gradeables it will only make your next cron run a bit longer as it recreates the missing entries. Once the cron is done you should have the same functionality but the duplicate entries should be gone. If there were many duplicates, getting rid of them can speed up the Grade Me block considerably.
I have installed this plugin in order to see all assignments that have been submitted by my students but it always tells me "Nothing to grade" even though there are assignements that have to be graded. Can you help me here?
1) The plugin does not handle lessons at the moment.
2) If you see "nothing to grade" and you're sure there are assignments to grade, that probably means the Moodle cron hasn't been run. The Grade Me section of the Moodle cron will search your site for gradeable assignments, quizs and other items (as configured), and make ungraded submissions available through the Grade Me block.
1) We will indeed be publishing an updated 30 stable Grade Me version within the coming weeks.
2) There is not currently any built-in functionality within Grade Me block for CSV export, as this would depend on the particular data needed and could vary between users. Cases like this would typically be handled by a separate reporting solution that allows query data to be exported to multiple formats.
Any help? Thank you!
The 3.0-specific version of Grade Me block has been published, and thank you for your comments - I will be checking through and filing tasks for us to fix any remaining issues.
