It is quite common that students are given "boomerangs" - that is they are requested to resubmit an exercise after fixing some issues pointed out by the teacher.

Currently this is done with normal submissions, but this causes extra work for the assistant and the teacher.

My initial suggestion is :
1) Add 1 new statuses (finished boomerang) and (mailed boomerang) if a project is a finished boomerang, the mail does not contain a project grade, but a request for resubmission. Boomerangs would be made by selection on the "finish page".

2) When a resubmission is made the assistant can re-enter the previous assessment mail and make appropriate changes without doing all grading again. He might have to adjust section grades however.

Obviously this suggestion needs more discussion before we start to implement anything.
