[LON-CAPA-admin] studentID changes

[Nathan Schoenack]

1. I was concerned with messing with data in an actual class for  
students that are currently enrolled.  If this is a safe option I  
will do it.

I am confused, though, as to how the students' ID is different  
depending on which class I'm checking.  Wouldn't the studentID be  
tied to the username, regardless of which class he/she is enrolled in?

2. We did a randomized test in class and needed to use the new IDs to  
identify the students.  I will not be doing this for every class  
we're running.  I'll just let the next semester's uploads take care  
of it.
