All my gradebook related stuff is here: https://github.com/jkitchin/jmax/tree/master/techela, and there is a lot of it ;)
I have a whole ecosystem built around using git through emacs and org-mode with my students, which at this point even I find complex! For grading, I grade directly in the student's turned in org-file using functions from here https://github.com/jkitchin/jmax/blob/master/techela/techela-grade.el. I define a minor-mode with a keymap to make grade entry, commenting, etc... relatively easy for me. The grades are weighted by different categories, and saved as a filetag (not a property). I tend to put one problem per file so the grade is just for the one problem, and assign 2-3 of these per week. For gradebook stuff, most of it is here: https://github.com/jkitchin/jmax/blob/master/techela/techela-gradebook.el The grades are stored in the student org-files which I return to them. I lookup all the assignments from the syllabus, and then map over the org-files for each student for each assignment getting the grades out. I will be using it again this fall, so /maybe/ the documentation will even improve ;) Matt Price writes: > On Thu, Aug 6, 2015 at 9:13 AM, John Kitchin <jkitc...@andrew.cmu.edu> > wrote: > >> How do you enter your grade?
