We have the same problem as well
We have a number of instructors who have run into this as a problem. Even if they are using a gradebook, they don't always want to assign a grade to an "assignment" as they are not considering the exchange an "assignment". I didn't seem to be a problem with previous versions of Moodle. Thanks.
I would argue that this is more than a minor problem. When an instructor selects "No Grade," s/he should not have to input a fake grade for every student simply so that they can see the returned file. For large classes this process is time consuming. If one is using the Moodle gradebook, one must take the additional step of making sure the fake grades do not affect the student's final grade.
This behavior also occurs if the teacher does not give a reply in the comment box on the quick grading assignment screen. If this is left empty, then the response file will not be presented to the student as well.
Has there been any progress on this? Now that our Spring semester has started, I am seeing more faculty experiencing this problem. It is more than a minor issue for us.
The following patch to mod/assignment/type/upload/assignment.class.php seems to fix it for us:

This looks similar to MDL-18516.
We are experiencing this issue in v1.9.5
Alternate work-around: You can leave Grade set to "No Grade" IF you add some text in the Feedback text field. Hi,
We were using this response file to deliver audio feedback mp3 files to students last academic year (using 1.8x) - with no grade, no text comments. One thought - I've been wondering if its possible to make a new assignment type (maybe call it 'Response File' or 'Assignment Feedback') by hacking down the advanced upload type to just have the response functionality without the student upload / notes area? Would this then offer the functionality we require, but keep the advanced upload in tact for the other use? Or maybe the advanced upload just needs some additional options in the settings to achieve this? Roger We are experiencing this issue in v1.9.5
Grade is set to No Grade Feedback is included but students cannot see the response files. |
