<h3>Class List Editor Help Page</h3>
<body>
-<p>Only one of the five actions may be taken at a time. After filling ou=
t the options to the action the "Take Action" button must be=20
-pressed to do the action. After one action is completed another may be d=
one.</p>
-<p>The first option changes how many student's are shown below in the ta=
ble.</p>
+<blockquote>
+<p>
+From this page you can <strong>add new students</strong>, to <strong>edi=
t</strong> the class list data (names, email addresses, recitation, secti=
on
+permission levels and enrollment status), to <strong>change passwords</s=
trong>, to <strong>export</strong> (save)
+class lists for back-up or use in another course. You can also delete st=
udents from the class roster, but this cannot be undone.
+</p>
+<p>
+This page gives access to information about the student, independ of the=
homework sets
+assigned to them.
+</p>
+<p>
+To perform an action first click the radio button next to desired action=
then click the "Take Action!" button.
+</p>
+
+
+<h4>How to:</h4>
+<dl>
+ <dt>Restrict or sort the students displayed</dt>
+ <dd>When the class is very large not all students will be displayed. =
Using the first action on this page you can show only the students from a=
given recitation or from a given section, or only students whose login o=
r last name fits a pattern match. The second action will sort the student=
s currently being displayed. You can also sort the displayed students by=
clicking on the active links at the top of each column.</dd>
+
+ <dt>Edit class list data</dt>
+ <dd>You can edit the class list data for a single student by clicking =
on the pencil icon next to their login name. To edit several students at=
once click on the "Select" checkbox next to their names, click on the ra=
dio button for editing selected users and then click "Take Action!". You =
can also edit all visible users (those students currently being displayed=
) or even all users in the course although this last option might take a =
long time to load for a large class. </dd>
+ <dd> The login name cannot be changed. (It is the primary key for the =
student's data.) If you make a mistake in the login name at the beginning=
of the course (before any work has been done) then it is best to simply =
add a new student with the correct entry and drop the student with the ba=
d login name. (See drop and delete students below.)</dd>=09
+ <dt>Add a few students to the course.</dt>
+ <dd> Click the "Add x student(s)" radio button and then click "Take ac=
tion". This will take you to a new page where the data can be entered for=
one or more students. It is also possible to assign the student to one =
or more problem sets as they are being entered: simply select the homewor=
k sets from the list below the data entry table. Use 'command' or 'contro=
l' click to select more than one homework set.</dd>
+=09
+ <dt>Add many students to a course from a class list.</dt>
+ <dd>This is most easily done by importing a class list. The class lis=
t can be uploaded from your workstation to the server using the File Mana=
ger page. The class list must be a file ending in .lst and must have a s=
pecific <a href=3D"http://webhost.math.rochester.edu/webworkdocs/discuss/=
msgReader$59#2397">format</a>. Once the file has been uploaded to the se=
rver the file will appear in the import action pop-up list (5th action). =
demoCourse.lst is available for most courses and adds the "practice users=
" which activate guest logins to the class list .</dd>
+
+ <dt>Add a TA or an instructor (change permission level of user)</dt>
+ <dd>This is done by first entering the user as a student and then chan=
ging the permission level of the user. First edit the user by clicking on=
the pencil next to their name (or using the technique above for several =
users), then change their permssion level -- an entry blank at the far ri=
ght of the screen, you may have to scroll to see it. The permission leve=
ls are
+ <ul>
+ <li>Guest: -5</li>
+ <li>Student: 0</li>
+ <li>Proctor: 2</li>
+ <li>TA: 5</li>
+ <li>Instructor: 10</li>
+ </ul></dd>
+
+ <dt> Drop student from the course</dt>
+ <dd> To drop a student or students, select them for editing as describ=
ed above and then set the pop-up list to enrolled,drop, or audit. Droppe=
d students cannot log in to the course, are not assigned new homework set=
s and are not sent e-mail. They can be re-enrolled simply by changing th=
eir status back to enrolled. No data is lost, any homework sets assigned=
before they were dropped are restored unchanged. </dd>
+ <dt>Delete a student from a course</dt>
+ <dd>This should be done cautiously. Once a student is deleted from a =
course their data is lost forever and cannot be recovered. They can be a=
dded to the course as a new student, but all of their homework set assign=
ments and homework has been permanently deleted. </dd>
+ <dt> Assign sets to one student</dt>
+ <dd> To assign one or more sets to an individual student click in the=
column "Assigned Sets" in the student's row. This will take you to a pa=
ge where you can assign and unassign homework sets and change the due dat=
es for homework on an individual basis.</dd>
+ <dt>Change the due date for one student</dt>
+ <dd>Click on the column "Assigned Sets" in the student's row. This wil=
l take you to a page where you can assign and unassign homework sets and =
change the due dates for homework on an individual basis.</dd>
+ <dt> "Act as" a student</dt>
+ <dd>Clicking on the login name link in a student's row allows you to v=
iew the student's version of the homework (rather than your own) so that =
you can more easily answer student questions about homework problems. (A =
"acting as xxx" alert will appear in the upper right corner of each windo=
w while you are acting as a student.) You can submit the answers (which w=
ill NOT be recorded) to check that the computer is grading the problem co=
rrectly. You will also be able to view past answers submitted by the stu=
dent for each problem. To stop acting in the student's role click the "St=
op acting" link in the upper right corner of the window. </dd>
+ <dt> Change the grades on a homework set for one student. </dt>
+ <dd>Click first in the "Assigned Sets" column in the student's row. T=
his will take you to a new page where you will click on the link to the h=
omework set where the grade change is to be made. (The grade for each pr=
oblem is listed as "status" on this third page).</dd>
+ <dt>Extend the number of attempts allowed a student on a given problem<=
/dt>
+ <dd>Click first in the "Assigned Sets" column in the student's row. T=
his will take you to a new page where you will click on the link to the h=
omework set where the grade change is to be made. </dd>
+ <dt>Assign sets to many students</dt>
+ <dd>This is done from the "Hmwrk Sets Editor" or from the "Instructor=
Tools" page if you wish to assign a homework set to all students or a la=
rge group of students (e.g. a section).</dd>
+ <dt>Change dates for a homework set for the whole class.</dt>
+ <dd>This is done from the "Hmwrk Sets Editor" or from the "Instructor=
Tools" page.</dd>
+ <dt>Change the grading on a homework set for an entire class.</dt>
+ <dd>You might want to do this if you want to give full credit to every=
one on a particular problem that was not worded correctly, or wasn't work=
ing properly. This is done from the "Hmwk sets editor" page or the "Instr=
uctor tools" page.</dd>
+ <dt>Change the number of atttempts allowed on a problem.</dt>
+ <dd>This is done from the "Hmwk sets editor" page or the "Instructor t=
ools" page.</dd>
+</dl>
+
+<p>
+Many of these editing activities can also be done more quickly from the =
"Instructor tools" page where students and homework sets can be selected =
simultaneously. The Instructor Tools page is useful for quick editing of =
one or two students. The initial setup of the class can be done best from=
this page.
+Importing and
+exporting class lists can only be done from this page. Deleting students=
can only be done from this page.
+</p>
+<h4>Review of column functions:</h4>
+<ul>
+ <li>Clicking on any active link at the top of the column sorts the page=
by that column. You can do lexigraphic sorts: click on "First name" then=
"Last name" to sort by last name, sorting those with the same last name =
by their first name.</li>
+ <li>The <strong>login name</strong> column links allow you to "act as" =
a student.</li>
+ <li>The <strong>pencil</strong> in the login column allows you to edit =
that student's data.</li>
+ <li>The <strong>Assigned sets</strong> column (x/y) indicates that x se=
ts out of y sets avaiable have been assigned to this student. Click this =
link to assign or unassign sets to this student, to adjust due dates, or =
to adjust the grades on a homework set for a student.</li>
+ <li>Clicking the <strong>e-mail address</strong> link will bring up you=
r standard email application so that you can send email to the student. =
This works even if the student has been dropped from the course. To send=
email to an entire class or to merge grades with the email message use t=
he "Email" page link in the left margin.</li>
+</ul>
