  Hi David,
  
  I too was wondering about being able to go back to the parent course from the Subcourse. I understand about not being able to link back from the Subcourse. Perhaps it would be enough if when clicking on the link, the Subcourse was opened in a new window instead of the current one. Maybe that is a feature/option you could add, similar to the URL "Appearance" setting block.
  
  Thanks,
  Aaron

  That could be added as a feature. Please suggest it in the plugin's issues tracker. As far as I understood it, the recent best practise was to avoid doing these things on behlf of the user though. It was argued that users themselves should control how they open the link (same tab, new tab, new window etc).

  Hi David
  we see to have found a bug in that when the courses final grade is hidden it still comes through in the subcourse link. I have reported to github but can't upload pictures for some reason.

  Hi David:
  
  Thank you for this FANTASTIC plugin--this allows teachers to build robust learning modules and then use a master "dashboard" course to tie together the subcourses!
  
  Wanted to a report a bug if any teachers use Natural Aggregation for grades (which is when a grade is simply the total of points earned divided by points possible)--the subcourse plugin does a great job of reporting back the points earned, EXCEPT if a teacher does a grade override to Exclude a grade for a student.
  
  The actual subcourse calculates the grade correctly, but when it passes the grade to the "dashboard" course, the Subcourse plugin still pulls the Total Points possible without factoring in the lower grade total for any students with a teacher override to Exclude any grades for a student.
  
  If you need screenshots I can upload them somewhere and share them.
  
  Thank you for sharing this great plugin with the Moodle community!

  Thank you Joseph for an important report. May I ask you to copy it into a new issue in the plugin's bug tracker (please find the link above). Thank you.

  Hi David:
  
  Thanks for your work on this GREAT plugin that makes developing complex course frameworks possible with streamlined access for students!
  
  Quick question: any chance you are able to look at when a Grade is excluded in a Subcourse? It looks like the grade is not calculated correctly for the individual student who has a grade excluded for an assignment / activity since the Subcourse module is grabbing the course total for the entire course vs. the individual student...
  
  Thanks again for sharing this fantastic plugin with the Moodle community!

  Hi Joseph. And thanks for the kind and encouraging words. I am aware of your report https://github.com/mudrd8mz/moodle-mod_subcourse/issues/29. Unfortunately I did not have yet free time to look at it. Meanwhile, if you wish to contribute even more, it will help to have step by step instructions on how to reproduce the problem, put into the issue #29 at Github. Thanks in advance.

  Hi, a couple of questions. Is there a way to disable the progress bar? The only way I have found is to turn the activity completion to 'Do not indicate'. The issue is we have tracks within a course complete this track earn a badge, complete that track earn a badge and the student does not have to complete all tracks. So basically the student completes the tracks they want but would never show 100% complete.
  
  Second question is what exactly does the "Redirect to the referenced course" do? I would have thought that checking this box, along with checking 'Open in new window' would open the sub-course and not just the launch page to the sub-course? Don't get me wrong this is a massive improvement, students were always complaining about getting back to the main course.

  Is it correct that this plugin does not actually COPY or "duplicate" any grades into the subcourse gradebook? The grade that you see in the grader report in the subcourse activity is just a "reference" or "link" to the grade in the main course. So there is no "duplication" of grades. Am I correct?

  We are keen to use this plugin after seeing it at the UK Moot this year (very impressed with it!). We are possibly upgrading to 3.7 this summer - anyone know if this will work on 3.7 (looks like it is released up to 3.6 at the mo). Ta!

  Hi Rebecca and thanks for the interest in this plugin. The tests seem to pass in 3.7 just well and I marked the current version as supported by that Moodle version.

  Luis - negative. The plugin DOES create a new grade item and copies over the final grades from the associated course into it.
