DCS grading programs

greport and gpubreport

Greport prints a grades file in a form suitable for administrative display of a single student's record. Gpubreport prints a grades file in a form suitable for public display of a single student's record.

Usage

greport [selection options] files

gpubreport [selection options] files

Details

Greport and gpubreport are shell scripts based on gpr.

Greport includes all identifying information, the drop indicator, the flag character, and all comments.

Gpubreport omits the name, the drop indicator, the flag character, and all comments; it is intended for public posting so that your students can check their marks.

Both these commands use long-form output, because they expect to be used with selection criteria limiting the output to a single student -- or perhaps just a few students, if you're not sure of the students exact name or student number.

Both these "programs" are actually shell scripts based on gpr, so their error output may sometimes be misleading.

Changes since the previous versions

Greport and gpubreport are new, because the old grading programs did not include the long-form output or the selection criteria that make them possible.
