Detailed Instructions

Individual use

make-csv

Creates .csv files for your lab sections. They will appear in ~/spring/grades/csvs/lab5/D.csv. These are generated directly from your current pairup rosters. So make sure your pairup roster is up to date before running this script. All students get a default grade of Z. In order to protect these master copies of grades, this script will not overwrite an existing .csv file. If you want to regenerate one, you must manually delete the .csv file first.

make-csv lab2 D Designed for lab use. Run this script after you confirm your pairup roster and before you enter in grades.

make-csv a1 all Designed for graders. Will create all .csv files for a single assignment, one per lab section. Before running, please try to fix any roster errors highlighted by the output of the distribute script.

grade

Creates the individual grade files in the handin-server. Transcribes grades from the .csv files. Skips Z grades. Will overwrite an older grade in the handin-server. So this is also useful for the appeal process. It can be run multiple times on the same student or lab section.

This script, by default, will not create a grade file for a student who has not submitted anything. See -f option.

grade a1 all Transcribes grades for all students for a single assignment.

grade lab2 D Transcribes grades from a single assignment for a single lab section.

grade a1 projanen Transcribes one student's grade for a particular assignment

grade a1 projanen -f Force: will generate a folder in the handin-server if necessary, and will transcribe the grade even if student has not submitted anything.

appeal

appeal a1 projanen Retrieves the most recent submission for this assignment for the given student. This gathers directly from the handin-server and places the .rkt file in ~/spring15/appeals.

print

Utility for printing all the specified .pdf files in Lindley Hall. It indirectly uses the pairup rosters to divide the work by section, using the one which was in effect at the time of assignment submission.

BL-SOIC-L330-1 is referred to as 330-1 in the print script.

print a2 B Print all a2 .pdf files for users in B lab to the printer in LH201.

print a1 F 330 Print a1 for F lab to the default printer in LH330.

print a2 B 330-2 Print a2 for B lab to the second printer in the LH330 suite.

print a2 projanen

print a2 projanen 330

print a2 projanen 330-1 As above but will print only one student's file.
