Quiz does not display feedback for incorrect answers when the "repeat until correct" option is selected.

In this scenario, we have an potential learning opportunity for the quiz-taking user: The user has made a incorrect choice, but probably does not know why.

If we can provide feedback for the incorrect response, the user can learn from the incorrect choice and make another attempt. Without this feedback, the user has no additional information to help make the correct choice. The user would likely just guess.

Given that the user must correctly answer the question in this scenario, from an educational perspective, nothing would be lost from providing feedback for the incorrect response. To the contrary, I would argue that it would be ideal.

Filing this as bug rather than a feature request because the quiz settings allow for feedback to be entered under the advanced options > feedback if not chosen, but this feedback would never be displayed when repeat until correct is selected.

@ezraw quiz module has been designed in this way. Even though repeat until correct option enabled, it will display feedback only after the correct answer is chosen.
So it is not a bug.

I fail to see why this isn't a bug. The user would learn nothing and instead will just select an answer until it is correct.

If you set up incorrect feedback with adaptive mode, and the user selects 3 incorrect answers in a row before selecting a correct answer, they would not see ANY incorrect feedback.

Moodle's Quiz module does this correctly - the user is not allowed to move on and is instead presented with incorrect feedback and then allowed to select a new answer.

Previously there was a request for this, approved by the maintainer, but I'm not sure where the functionality went.

#591796: Don't proceed til correct, and show feedback immediately
