The Grader Project

The Grader maintains grading information for courses. It also computes statistics and manages electronic submission of graded work. Advanced features include graphical input and customizable grading schemes. Grades are enterable only by privileged instructor users. Individual students may browse their own grades given proper identity confirmation. Students may also browse overall grade statistics for a class, ask "what if" questions, and browse historical grade trends. Other noteworthy customer requests include easy set-up of extra credit grading, different late policy schemes, interface with campus grade servers, and electronic submission of student graded work.

The Grader project is organized into the following directories:

• requirements -- user-level functional requirements for the project
• specification -- formal specification of the functional requirements
• prototype -- operational prototype, with limited functionality
• design -- architectural software design
• implementation -- implementation source and executables
• testing -- testing plans and results
• administration -- administrative and managerial information
• documentation -- audience-specific documentation, such as users manual and installation instructions
