-Problem analysis has two ways of analyzing and displaying student submission

+The Detailed Problem Analysis gives you detailed statistics and graphs

+With this information you can give your students feedback in order
+to help them better learn the concept the problem assesses. You are
+given the option to choose to analyze your data over tries or time,
+analyze your data as concepts or foils, and select how many plots
+of the data you wish to view. Help links are provided on the the Detailed
+Problem Analysis screen which explain these options, in summary:

 a specific attempt by all students, meaning the first plot will show the 
 results of the first attempt by all students, the second will show the
 results of the second attempt, and so on.  Those students who get the
 problem right on the first attempt won't have a second attempt so the 
 amount of data for each plot will decrease.

 \label{Authentication}
 
 People are authenticated with a standard username and password scheme.
-LON-CAPA ships with support for LON-CAPA specific passwords, authentication
-using the UNIX authentication scheme on the server (assuming that
-user has a user account on that system), and Kerberos 4 and 5. It
-is easy to add other external authentication types to integrate with
-whatever your campus may use, and there are institutions doing this.
+LON-CAPA ships with support for the following authentication scheme:
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item internally authenticated: LON-CAPA specific passwords, choose this when in doubt. 
+\item system authentication: authentication using the UNIX authentication scheme on the server.  
+\item Kerberos authenticated: authentication based on either a Kerberos 4 or 5 server. 
+\item external authentication: custom authentication integrated with an authentication server other than Kerberos.
+\end{enumerate}
+
+If the student or user you are adding to LON-CAPA will be using the same accountas another system, e.g. email, then your system administrator can tell you which authentication type you should choose.  If you are creating a user that is unique only to LON-CAPA, then select internally authenticated.

+++ loncom/html/adm/help/tex/Feedback_Author.tex
\label{Feedback_Author}

Only the author of the resource can view this feedback. The author
receives the feedback as a message on their Communication Screen.
The feedback automatically becomes part of the problems metadata.
Feedback understands smilies, \LaTeX{}, and HTML. Instructors can
change feedback and discussion options in the course environment.

Index: loncom/html/adm/help/tex/Feedback_Content.tex
+++ loncom/html/adm/help/tex/Feedback_Content.tex
\label{Feedback_Content.tex}

The feedback sent with this option is posted privately to the instructor
specified in the Course Environment as the person to receive resource
content questions. If no instructor is defined in the Course Environment,
this option does not appear in the feedback window. The instructor
is notified that a question is waiting for her with a little envelope
link near the problem on the Navigation Screen. The instructor can
also see the message from her Communication Screen. The student's
version of the problem along with previous submissions is attached
to the message. When the instructor replies to the message, the student
is notified that a reply is waiting for him with the same envelope
link next to the problem name on the Navigation Screen.

Same as above except that the student's real name is not visible to
other students and is replaced by the word ''anonymous'' or the
student's screen name. Instructors and Course Coordinators can see
the student's name.

Index: loncom/html/adm/help/tex/Feedback_Discussion.tex
+++ loncom/html/adm/help/tex/Feedback_Discussion.tex
\label{Feedback_Discussion}

Instead of the text sent as a message to an instructor, the text is
displayed publicly at the bottom of the resource. Course Coordinators
and Instructors can hide or delete discussion postings. The student's
name in the posting is a link to his About Me page. Everyone in the
class is notified of new discussion with a little bubble icon next
to the problem name on the Navigation Screen.

\begin{enumerate}
\item On the Grade All screen, you will see a table of student grade data for your class or selected section. You have two options:
  \begin{itemize}
  \item \textbf{Assign a common grade for the class or section}: Select the point value you wish 
to assign in the box under the Assign Common Grade to Class heading.  You may also wich to excuse a problem.  Excusing a problem will remove the problem score from the total IF the student has not already received credit on the problem.  For example, say your folder is worth 15 points.  The students who have credit on the problem will get their total score out of 15 points, however, the students who have not received credit will get their total score out of 14 points.
  \item \textbf{Assign scores for specific students}: Input the point value you want to assign to each student in the appropriate location.
  \end{itemize}
\item Click \textbf{Submit Changes}. The Current Grade Status Screen will display.
\item Click {[}Save{]} when you are done.

LON-CAPA automatically grades all online homework problems by default except 
for essay problems. However, the Instructor or Course Coordinator have 
permission to override the computer scores and submit their own grades. 
To access the PGRD screen:

\begin{enumerate}

\item Navigate to the problem or a problem within a sequence you want to grade.
\item Click \textbf{PGRD} on the Remote Control or Inline Menu.
\item For manual grading, use the left hand side of the screen.
  \begin{enumerate}
  \item Optionally, select the desired section and student status from the drop down menus.
  \item Select one of the following: 
    \begin{enumerate}
    \item \textbf{Current Resource: For one or more students}: For Grading of Viewing Submissions for one of more students. After selecting this option, perform the following steps:
      \begin{enumerate} 
      \item Select the students you want to limit your selection from using one of the following choices:
        \begin{itemize}
        \item students with any status: any student in the course or selected section
        \item students with submissions: any student who submitted an answer
        \item students with ungraded submissions: any student who submitted an answer or essay to a hand-graded problem which you have yet to grade.
        \item students with incorrect submissions: any student who has made a submission which the computer or instructor has marked incorrect.
        \end{itemize}
      \item Click the {[}Next{]} button.
      \item Go to section \ref{Grade_One} for further instructions.
      \end{enumerate}
    \item \textbf{Current Resource: For all students in selected section or course}: A shortcut for grading an entire class or partcular section at a time. Click the {[}Next{]} button and then go to section \ref{Grade_All}. 
    \item \textbf{The complete Set/Page/Sequence: For one student}: Grade an entire folder or sequence for one student.  For example, grading a make-up exam or grading homework for a student with no internet access.  Click the {[}Next{]} button and then go to section \ref{Grade_Sequence}.
    \end{enumerate}
  \end{enumerate}
\item Click the {[}Grade{]} button to grade a Scantron Exam.  Go to section \ref{Grade_Scantron}.
\item Click the {[}Upload{]} button to grade a Score Upload From.  Go to section \ref{Grade_Upload}. 
\item Type in a receipt number and click the {[}Verify{]} button to Verify a receipt.  Go to section \ref{Grade_Verify} for more information.
\end{enumerate}

\begin{enumerate}
\item At the top of the \textbf{View/Grade/Regrade Submission for a Student or a Group of Students} screen, select from the following options:
  \begin{itemize}
  \item Select how you wish to see the student's version of the problem along with the answers. 
    \begin{itemize}
    \item \textbf{no} will show no problem texts
    \item \textbf{one student} will show only the first student's problem text; this is useful for non-randomized questions. 
    \item \textbf{all students} will show the problem text for all students.
    \end{itemize}
  \item Select the level of submission detail you want to view.
  \end{itemize}
\item Select the student(s) to View/Grade/Regrade.
\item Click the {[}Next{]} button.
\item At the submission record screen, review the answers and select the points you wish to assign the student(s). You also have the option to excuse the student(s) from the problem by using the problem weight pull down menu.

\textbf{Note}: The computer has automatically graded all the Problems
with a red check mark. You can of course change the scoring for these
problems, but there are few faster ways to alienate your students then
marking things as incorrect the computer said were correct.

\item After you have finished viewing or manually grading the problem answers, choose one of the following options:
  \begin{itemize} 
  \item Use the pull down menu select the number of new students you want to view or grade. Click Save \& Next.
  \item Click {[}Next{]} to display the next student from your selection without saving any changes.
  \item Click {[}Previous{]} to display the previous student from your selection without saving any changes.

  \end{itemize}
\item When you are done grading, exit the screen by clicking the dot on the Remote Control or the option to \underbar{Return to Previous Location} from the Inline Menu.
\end{enumerate}

If you happen to be grading an essay question, it will make sense
for you to want to grade just the students with ungraded submissions
and then select the first student on your list. Grade this student's
essay and then select {[}Save \& Next{]} to cycle through all of
your students. If you leave, all you need to do is return to the grading
screen and again choose only students with ungraded submissions. When
grading essay questions, LON-CAPA will give you essay grading keyword
tools at the top of each grading page. For example, if you want the
keyword ''velocity'' to be highlighted in every essay submission,
just click \underbar{List} and type the word velocity. After grading
a few essays in this example, you may realize that you want the keyword
''vector'' to be highlighted, this time you highlight the word
on your screen with your mouse and then click the link \underbar{Paste
Selection to List}. The keyword ''vector'' is now added. The Highlight
Attribute choice gives you options to change the default highlighting
scheme. For each student, you can also click on the option \underbar{Compose
message to student} and leave a message for your student to read next
time he or she visits the problem.

\item At the Grade by Folder/Page/Sequence screen, using the pull down menu to select the folder with problems you wish to grade. (By default the folder listed is the folder the current problem resides in.)
\item Select \textbf{Yes} or \textbf{No} to view problem text. 
\item Select Submission detail level you wish to view.
\item Select the student.
\item Click \textbf{Submit}. The screen will display the problems and answers.
\item Scroll down and View/grade/regrade the problems.

\label{Grade_Upload}

Click {[}Browse{]} to browse your machine to find a CSV file and then click
{[}Upload{]}. On the next screen, specify which data is in which column. Your csv
file needs the username, partial credit factor, domain name of msu,
and the problem status for each student. If you set a weight of 10
for your problem and the student gets all 10 points then you assign
the student a partial credit of 1. A student who gets 8/10 has 0.8
for her partial credit factor. Below is an example csv snippet: \\

When a student receives notification that they submitted a correct
answer for a problem, they are given a receipt of their submission.
If a student claims that her data has somehow been lost, then you
can easily recover this data with the receipt number. This option
is mainly reassurance for the student because they can keep track
of their receipts. It is also reassurance for the instructor because
she can request that students keep track of receipts before contacting
her with information about possible data loss.

Index: loncom/html/adm/help/tex/Open_Date.tex

\label{Open_Date}

The open date is the date and time when to first allow the students
to view and work on the problems. By default, all problems are viewable
immediately after being added with the DOCS Screen. You can change
this default setting by deleting the course level open date. Note
that parameters only control access to problems. Webpages are always
viewable.

Index: loncom/html/adm/help/tex/Parameter_Helper.tex

\label{Parameter_Helper}

The easiest way to set parameters is to use the Helper. The Helper
will give you step-by-step instructions for setting the open date,
due date, answer display date, tries, or problem weight. With the
helper, you can choose to set parameters for the course default, for
a particular folder, or for a particular problem. Please note that
a parameter set for a folder overrides the default and a parameter
set for a problem overrides the folder settings and the default settings.
You can set the following parameters with the Helper:

\begin{itemize}
\item Open Date (section \ref{Open_Date})
\item Due Date (section \ref{Due_Date})
\item Answer Date (section \ref{Answer_Date})
\item Tries (section \ref{Tries})
\item Weight (section \ref{Course_Problem_Weight})

Students have a button labeled GRDS instead of the SPRS button on
the Remote Control or Main Menu. Students can click on this button
and see a summary of all of their scores. By default, the problem
weight you assign to each resource is the problem score. However,
if you changed your Course Environment's grading specification to
''spreadsheet'' your students will have access to their student spreadsheet 
with their scores based upon your spreadsheet via a \underbar{detailed scores} 
link. The use of the term ''score'' is also changed to the phrase ''parts done''
on the student Grade Screen. There are three different ways the Student
Grades Screen can appear based upon the course environment.

Select \textbf{PARM} on the Remote Control or Main Menu to set your course
parameters. From that screen, choose the link for \underbar{Table Mode}.
                                                                                
The other parameters in the course apply with varying granularities to
the components of the course, such as folders (maps/sequences/pages), problems, and students.
                                                                                
You can display parameters for the entire course or just select the 
enclosing folder (map).  Then choose which of the three levels you want to
set parameters for.  


The three levels are:
levels:
                                                                                
\begin{enumerate}
\item Course level: The course default, will apply the parameter to every resource in the course.
\item Map/Folder level: Will apply the parameter to all resources in a 
particular folder or map and will override the course defaults.
\item Resource level: Parameters apply only to one particular problem and it 
overrides the map/folder level and course level parameters.  You may want to 
use the Problem Parameter functionality, PPRM instead \ref{Problem_Parameters}.
                                                                                
\end{enumerate}

If you choose the map/folder level or resource level, you be given options to 
choose which folder/map you want to display.
                                                                                
To set parameters, click on the underscore link in the appropriate
location to add your parameter. \emph{Note, when setting resource
level parameters, you must make changes under the ''for Resource''
column only.}
