The rights to use and redistribute GradeTA without alterations for commercial and non-commercial purposes are granted. No warranty is offered.
After you unzip GradeTA.zip, copy all the files into a new web directory, you will have some files like *.class, GTA.zip (do not unzip this file), index.html and dat.txt. dat.txt contains the demo data. You can browser the directroy right away, and enter students aliases, such as rat, bull, tiger, rabbit, pig, student1, student2, ... student20, to see the demo grades report.
To post your own class's grades online, simply overwrite the dat.txt file with your own data. The format may be the same one in the demo dat.txt. Your students can use aliases to identify themselves (Please note, 01234 is treated as 1234).
If you want to use some other format for your dat.txt file, Here are a few rules that you can follow in order for GradeTA to work properly:
1. dat.txt file must be a text (ASCII) file with the exact name of "dat.txt".
2. Data must be in the order of "student aliase, score, aliase, score .....".
3. Aliases and scores can be separated by space, ",", "/" and ";".
4. Students aliases can be a word, such as tiger, a number, such as 2847 (02847 is treated as 2847), and a mixed word begins with a letter but may have the numbers, such as like2go.
