Alison,
I use a bit of perl to display letter grades. You upload a number that
then is represented
to the student as a grade. Here is the text of one of the sample
problems. I do not know of
a simple way to upload a textual value directly.
The only option that I know of for providing personalized feedback en
masse is by sending
out a message from a file. There is a scheme by which you can prepend
a student's username
to the beginning of the line and have that text only go to that student.
Mark
<problem>
<parameter name="handgrade" id="11" default="yes" type="string_yesno"
description="Hand Grade" />
<script type="loncapa/perl">
$weight=&EXT('resource.0.weight');
if ((!defined($weight)) || ($weight eq '')) { $weight=1; }
$awarded=&EXT('user.resource.resource.0.awarded');
if (!defined($awarded)) { $awarded=0; }
$index = $weight*$awarded;
%grades = ( 1=>"A", 2=>"A-", 3=>"B+", 4=>"B", 5=>"B-", 6=>"C+", 7=>"C",
8=>"C-", 9=>"D+", 10=>"D", 11=>"D-", 12=>"F", 13=>"FN",
14=>"FN",
15=>"WP", 16=>"WF", 17=>"Incomplete",0=>"(Not Available)");
$lettergrade = $grades{$index};
</script>
<startouttext />
<p>You earned a letter grade of <display>$lettergrade</display> for
the course.</p>
<p>I am careful with posting grades, but sometimes I make an error. If
there is a discrepancy between this grade and the grade from the
registrar, the
grade from the registrar is the definitive grade. Please inquire about
the letter grade and I will check where the mistake is, but a mistake
on my part does not mean you
get to choose your grade.</p>
<endouttext />
<block condition="0"><numericalresponse id="score" /></block>
