Can you expand on "confusion in the program"? What sorts of errors did
you see? Because it's likely that the original intention was to have
this model in $uses, given that the code has $this->EvaluationMixeval
(so it could be accessed directly).

Having said that, I have to point out that this controller has an
awful lot in $uses already. I hope it's not a very busy controller,
because every one of those models is going to be loaded for every
request to this controller. It looks like it might be a bit of a
bottleneck.

So, perhaps the better fix is to use model associations. Once that's
working, you might want to go through the other models in $uses. Where
a model could also be accessed through association with another in
$uses, remove it and change any code referring to $this->TheModel to
$this->AssocModelStillInUses->TheModel (no, not those names literally
:-)

If you do go down that route, I suggest you first put each model name
in $uses on its own line like this:

var $uses = array(
'EvaluationRubric',
'EvaluationRubricDetail',
'EvaluationSubmission',
'Event',
'EvaluationSimple',
'SimpleEvaluation',
'Rubric',
'Group',
'GroupEvent',
'GroupsMembers',
'RubricsLom',
'RubricsCriteria',
'RubricsCriteriaComment',
'Personalize',
'User',
'SurveyQuestion',
'Question',
'Response',
'Survey',
'SurveyInput',
'Course'
);

This way, you can comment out one at a time while you change any
reference to it like $this->NameHere.

Obviously, you won't be able (nor want) to remove all of the models
from $uses, but I'll bet you could judiciously remove at least half of
those.
