The \textbf{Spreadsheet} is used to tell LON-CAPA how to determine how |
|
many points a student gets for the LON-CAPA portion of the course. |
|
|
|
Spreadsheets are extremely flexible and powerful and can draw upon |
|
nearly all aspects of the data LON-CAPA stores about a |
|
student. Spreadsheets can be simple things that simply give one point |
|
per completed problem to a student, or powerful things that give bonus |
|
points for completing problems early or penalties for late |
|
completion,, completing problems on the first try, differing values to |
|
different problems or problem parts, or just about anything else you |
|
could desire. |
|
|
|
|
The \textbf{Spreadsheet} is used to implement complex grading policies in |
|
your course. It has the flexability to implement most grading schemes and |
|
it provides access to all the parameters associated with the homework and |
|
exams in your course. |
