Description

It seems that the grades of multichoice questions with multple answers aren't correct calculated.

i.e. Question with two correct and one false answer. 1 point for correct and -2 points for each inccorect answer.

the calculation of the points uses only the first clicked answer and ignores the further ones.

Is it a bug or a wring setting of the lesson?

I believe this is an issue with the questions, and has been resolved in moodle 1.7?

Tim is right.
This isn't a problem in quiz module, its only a problem in lesson module. Its reported for the lesson module.

Yes, this is how Lesson currently works. I'm not sure if changing its behavior would be advisable, considering that the grading would be changing from what users are used to and may affect Lessons negatively.

I'm open to suggestions, but the idea of a multi-answer multiple choice question in Lesson is that you have one score for correct and one score for incorrect. All correct and incorrect answers have the same score. So, if you get the question 100% correct, you earn all the correct point value, otherwise you earn the incorrect point value. I'm not saying this is ideal, it is just how it is currently.

Keep in mind that Lesson is planning to use the question class (same as quiz) in Moodle 2.0 and it might be best to keep Lesson question type changes till then so that users do not have to be retrained multiple times to use questions in Lesson.
