for Moodle 1.9 was written by Paweł Suwiński of Poland in January 2012. This is so far the only mod that I know that awards a Moodle Gradebook score to a student based on forum posts made by the student.  |

Learning Outcome
- At the end of this post, you will know how to use Verbosity to award scores based on the quantity of forum posts made by a student for a specific forum.
- You will also know how to customise Verbosity so that only the student who puts in some effort to type words and paragraphs in a forum post will have a score. For example, students who write 200-word posts will, deservedly, be rewarded. On the other hand, students who type, for example, five word sentences will not have any score in their Moodle Gradebook. Well that's the gist of it.

to a forum post, see my other post here.
