    Description

      Course completion aggregation does not work as conditional activities works, and one might expect it to work. It silently adds the "require passing grade" criteria to all activities, even if the teacher has unchecked that option.

      For example, if teacher sets course completion to require:

      that the student complete the pretest quiz
      view the scorm module
      take the final quiz

      It does not mark the course as complete when those three activities are marked as complete. Instead, the course will only be marked complete if the student both completes the pretest AND ALSO achieves a passing grade on the pretest.

      This means that in the completion report, the teacher may see that all of the required activities are marked complete, but the course isn't marked complete. This caused consternation and confusion - all of the required activities were marked complete, but the course wouldn't mark complete.
