Typical work flow for a class creation

• Create a class database with CreateCourseGradeBook.tcl command.

./CreateCourseGradeBook.tcl 2015_Spring_Phys476 eemikh@wm.edu  2015 Spring "Physics 476 - Modern Astrophysics" Eugeniy Mikhailov

• Prepare comma separated list of students with their names, ID, emails, and CRN. The best way to do it, is to save a "Summary class web page" from the banner and process it with banner2csv.pl. This will automatically extract required information.

./banner2csv.pl banner_summary_page.html > tt.csv

If you make such comma separate list yourself note that:  
1. ID is optional. But if we have ID, we can show a student photo
2. CRN is optional. It is intended to separate graders permissions across sections. But it is not implemented.

• Now we ready to populate the class database

./csv2GradeBook.tcl 2015_Spring_Phys476 tt.csv

• Upload the resulting database file to the cgi directory and fix its permissions
• Access the class database via web interface and add TAs/graders

Requirements/Dependencies

This set of script requires at least version tcl8.5, since it uses List containment and negated list containment (in ni) expression operators.

It need external 'mail' command for proper operation of password resetting code

You will need libsqlite3-tcl as well.
