Assignment/Draft Features/Filter grading by grade value

Filter Grading By Grade Values

This is a proposal for an additional feature to better manage students with certain assignment grades in the grading table by filtering their assignment grades into certain 'view' of students within a range of grades set by the teacher/marker in the Assignment module

Goals and rationale

The main goals of this feature are to :

• Better manage and locate students within a certain range of grades (e.g. for the purpose of providing the students with a 'general' feedback that only suits for the students in that certain grade range
• Provide the ability for a teacher to make her own 'views' and set the grade filter as she wishes in the assignment grading table.

Overview

The current behavior regarding the ability for markers to view certain students filtered by a range of grades has not yet been supported. With this Filter Grading By Grade Values feature, it will take the hassle away from the teacher when she wishes to locate a bunch of students who have similar/within a range of grades.
