Quiz reports: CBM Grade Summary
Basic documentation on Certainty-Based Marking (CBM) is at https://docs.moodle.org/27/en/Using_certainty-based_marking .
This plugin displays result reports (for teachers) that properly summarise student performance in quiz attempts that use CBM behaviour. Optionally, scores on individual questions can be displayed. Percentages can be calculated on the basis of either just those questions for which a student has entered a response, or the whole quiz. For example, 100% correct on half of the questions - those which the student has chosen to work on - can be shown as 100% rather than 50% correct. This is appropriate when a student uses the quiz for self-testing, choosing just questions relevant to current learning or self-assessment needs.
The plugin was developed alongside improvements in CBM behaviour that are included in core code in Moodle 2.6+. Version 1.2 can be used with Moodle 2.3-2.6. Version 2.7.02 is required for Moodle 2.7 onwards (at least to Moodle 3.0). It really should be in core Moodle.
This plugin doesn't affect feedback of information to students. CBM feedback in student Reviews was introduced in core Moodle 2.6, though this is much improved by installing patches (including for earlier versions 1.9+) available at http://TMedwin.net/cbm .
If you want Moodle Grades to correspond to CB Accuracy (0-100%) for comparison with conventional accuracy rather than to the total of CBM marks (see https://docs.moodle.org/30/en/Using_certainty-based_marking ) then use the code modifications and plugin available at http://TMedwin.net/cbm . Otherwise Moodle Grades range up to 300% based simply on the total CBM marks and have a non-linear relation to conventional accuracy, .

I installed this plugin in my Moodle 2.7.2 and I also changed the required 'Unlimited grades' setting. The issue is that I can't see the report after attempts. I can only see the header of the page and below all is blank. I turned on debugging and this is the error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function quiz_questions_in_quiz() in /var/www/web/mod/quiz/report/cbmgrades/report.php on line 160
Best regards and thanks for your valuable contribution to e-assessment.

You were right. I was using an old version that I had installed through the 'Install' (instead of download) option from the Moodle plugin database. It looks like the version for automatic installs is different (older) than the one available for downloading to install manually.
I had to remove the old version and download and install the new one in my Moodle 2.7.2 and all is fine now.
Thank you for your support Tony.

I used to use the "plus" version of your plugin, but since I upgraded to Moodle 2.9 I cannot find a version that is compatible. Is this in development?
Many thanks, greatly appreciated.

"Exception - Call to undefined method quiz_attempt::fire_attempt_reviewed_event()
Coding error detected, it must be fixed by a programmer: Invalid state passed to moodle_page::set_state. We are in state 3 and state 3 was requested. "
I followed the instructions for setting up the calculation of CBM; http://tmedwin.net/cbm/moodle/download/
Other than overwrifgting the modified php files and uninstalling the plug-in how do I fix this?
,Thanks
I was asked to install this plugin on a moodle v3.5 site, and did so. I'm not a moodle expert in any way, but believe I should find the report under the Grades section when selecting a course. Is this assumption correct? If so, then I'm lost, because the report is nowhere to be found on the site.
Is it possible for you to explain where I could find the report?
Kind regards,
Riaan
