Description

« Hide

The randomization of test questions for a test that can be taken multiple times does not work. Many instructors give practice tests before the real test and want the computer to pull random questions from a pool. Well, all settings are correct when the test is created, but students continue to get the same test questions.

This is the correct behavior based on our current spec. We want to present the students the same set of tests each time.

Suggested modifications: The 2 files you should look at to modify randomization is in sakai/sam/samigo-app/src/java/org/sakaiproject/tool/assessment/ui/listener/delivery/DeliveryActionListener.java and SubmitForGradingListener.java. Search for "Random(seed)" and you will see that the seed is based on the userid. If you don't specify a seed when generating random numbers you will get diff order each time.

A suggestion has been made that userid be augmented with quizid, which would be an improvement, I think.

But, I would suggest also considering a combination of
delivery.getAssessmentGradingData().getAssessmentGradingId() and
PublishedSectionData.getSectionId()

The first gives every attempt uniqueness.
The section puts each the boundaries of the random draw 'in phase' with the data that is randomized: I mean that each section is 'shuffled' independently , and so the key to each might be best aligned with each sections Id.

added flavor of randomization selection for random parts (p.32h):
