Sorry but this is a bit more off-topic... I haven't used this thing,
but it makes a lot of sense to use something similar -- which I've been
doing manually for ever: the idea is to have a fixed format for comments
that include grades (or grade penalties), and that makes it natural to
keep a file in a separate window with some pre-made comments and their
grade (or penalty), and after a short while you have such comments for
most cases. The missing feature is being able to update a number and
have it reflect in all files, but if the format is fixed and comments
are copy-pasted, then it's easy enough to change grades with a quick
grep. It makes sense enough that many of my graders quickly pick it up.
So it makes sense to me to automate this, but I wonder if they have a
good way to do that with consuming text files, adding comments, then
getting the graded versions without sending students to a different
site. Also, in many cases I'll adjust penalties based on the number of
other problems you have in the same question.
