Moodle has made it impossible to jump directly tot the grading page by using the row-number logic. There's a tracker to fix this here:
So please vote for it.
You might have noticed that when you receive mail notifications about students submitting assignments, that you need a lot of additional clicking before you can actually grade the assignment of this student.
This is because there's no possibility to jump to the students' grading page. This also effects the 'recent activity block', which monitors students turning in assignments, yet the URL behind the link never takes you to the grading page of that student:
This link should take me to the grading page of student named Bryan, but in stead it takes me to the assignment itself, which leaves me with clicking at least 3 or 4 times before I'm actually there. (Choosing the overall grading page, choosing the group, first or last letter to find the student, then press 'grade' and then I'm where I was supposed to go in the first place)
The link where the grade page resides is something like this:
http://moodle/mod/assign/view.php?id=94630&rownum=2&action=grade
Because of the 'rownumber' we are never capable of jumping to the correct assignment. In my opinion the link should be:
http://moodle/mod/assign/view.php?id=94630&userid=34&action=grade
This has all the information needed, and jumping to the correct user grading page is can always be done.
If you think this is a good idea as well, please vote for tracker MDL-42306
