# Grader Helper

Grader Helper is a Python-based tool designed to streamline academic grading workflows for module leaders in the University of Limerick, particularly for assignments hosted on Brightspace. It provides functionality to improve quality-of-life in various areas of assessment administration. 

It's designed to help with managing both specific coursework
 - managing student submissions 
   - renaming student submission folders into UL format (e.g. "Lastname, Firstname (Studentnumber)") and the Brightspace format ("1234-5678 - Lastname Firstname - 01 January 2001 0000 AM") and back again (for reupload to Brightspace).
 - randomly assigning submissions to graders (both group and individual assesments).
 - disrtibuting blank feedback sheets into each students submission folder (named using each students student number)
  
## Key Features

- **Automated Grader Assignment**: Assigns graders to students either individually or in groups.
- **Data Processing**: Extracts student IDs and grades from feedback files and aggregates them into a master dataset.
- **Brightspace Integration**: Imports class lists and handles data in Brightspace-compatible formats.
- **Feedback Management**: Distributes feedback sheets with rubrics to individual student folders.
- **File Organization**: Renames and organizes submission folders for clarity.
- **Score Calculation**: Computes total and weighted scores for modules, including letter grade conversion.

## Next steps

 - Integrate the functionality that allows us to randomly select students from each gradeband and copy them to the moderation folders.
 - Integrate the way of making the departmental gradefile. 
    - I've already got the functions that make the dataframes written, but not any explicit functionality for writing them into the departmental template. 
 - Write full documentation and a sample project (make fake student files)
 - Consider writing it all together into an gui/tui app?
