\textbf{Output Data}

There are two categories of data available for output from the chart.

\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{Scores}
The students score on a problem part is computed as 
    \textbf{part weight} * \textbf{part awarded}.
\item \textbf{Tries}
The number of tries before success on each problem part.
\end{itemize}

Each of these types of data has the following output modes available:

\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{Scores}

\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{Scores}
The students score on each problem part is shown.
\item \textbf{Scores Sum}
The total of the scores of the student on each problem part in the sequences 
or folders selected is shown.
\item \textbf{Scores Sum \& Maximums}
The score of each student as well as the maximum possible (for each student)
   on each sequence or folder is shown.
\item \textbf{Scores Summary Table Only}
The average score on each sequence or folder for the selected students is shown
in a table.
\end{itemize}

\item \textbf{Tries}
\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{Tries}
The number of tries before success on each problem part is shown for each
    student.
\item \textbf{Parts Correct}
The Number of Problem Parts completed successfully by each student for the
    selected sequences or folders is shown.
\item \textbf{Parts Correct \& Maximums}
The Number of Problem Parts completed successfully and the maximum possible
    for each student is shown.
\item \textbf{Parts Summary Table Only}

    get correct in each sequence or folder is shown.
\end{itemize}

\textbf{Output Formats}

The following are the output formats currently available for the chart.

\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{HTML, with links}
Output HTML with each symbol linked to the problem which generated it.
Problems the students have not attempted are not linked to.
\item \textbf{HTML, with all links}
Output HTML with each symbol linked to the problem which generated it.  
This includes links for unattempted problems.
\item \textbf{HTML, without links}
Output HTML without any links to any of the students homework problems.
By not including links, the size of the web page is greatly reduced.  
If your browser crashes on the full display, try this.
\item \textbf{Excel}
Output an Excel 95 compatable file.  Excel is limited to 256 columns, so you
may be asked to reduce the number of sequences or folders you have selected.
There is currently a 7 megabyte limit on the size of the Excel files LON-CAPA
can generate.
\item \textbf{CSV}
Output a comma seperated values file suitable for import into a spreadsheet 
program.  This method does not have any limitations on the size or number
of columns that can be exported.
\end{itemize}
