Add Comments on Correction form

[tbendick]

We have comments for each questions that references the source location of the information. If a student fails they can look up the section and figure out what why they got the question wrong.

Would like to have an option to turn on the comments when printing the correction form so that this information is available for reference.

Thank you.

This is a feature we'd like to see as well. My team has only recently started testing this plugin so I'm not intimately familiar with it, but from what I've heard from them this is the only feature we need that isn't available out of the box. I'd be willing to pay an existing contributor that is already familiar with the code to make the update. If nobody is available, I can also have someone from my team take a crack at it and submit a PR. If that's the case is there someone who can point us in the right direction to get started?

@univietw Are you able to provide any assistance with this or point me toward someone who could? Thanks!

So I'm trying to understand your request in a more technical form:
You'd like to include the "general feedback" from the questions added to the correction form? At least this is what would make the most sense to me.
There are a couple of things to do:

• Set a global default in the settings.php for new offlinequiz instances.
• add a new field (e.g. called printcfeedback, idk) to the offlinequiz table
• change mod_form.php so the users can change their own settings and set
• depending on the setting in the offlinequiz-table add the feedback on the form or not, but only if this is a correction pdf.

The last part is the tricky one. At the moment there are 3 different ways of printing the questions: PDF, LaTeX and docx. The correct answers are always printed on PDF, because they were not supposed for student's eyes. So there is the question if we want to change the output of the correction forms as well. You can find the code for the Questions in pdflib.php:660-750 Everything that's added to the html there is gonna be printed on the forms, so it's not that hard to do, maybe 1-2 days of development plus testing.

@univietw I work with Sid (above). Yes you are correct, we are looking to have the 'general feedback' field added to only the correction form. We are using that field to add reference information about where the question originated from in a standard. From the steps you listed below, iIs this something your team would be interested in adding to the existing plugin? Or is this something we would need to do on our own?
