GBK Grade book program Data Format Each input file must have a title, assignment, and student records section. Grade scale, notes, and public notes are optional. The title should fit on one line. Assignments are listed in groups, beginning with a group name (Homework, Quiz, Exam, etc) followed by a weight for the group, with a percent sign, followed by the total point value for the assignments within that group listed in order. The size of the group is determined by how many point values are listed. Group names may contain no digits or the minus sign. Only white space characters should separate the group names, weights, and point values. Grade scale input consists of a letter grade followed by its minimum cutoff score (in percent), then the next letter grade, etc. See the example below. Exceptions to letter grade assignments may be made by listing the ID strings for each exception followed by a replacement grade. Student records are delimited within the student section by blank lines. Each student record consists of an ID string, which terminates with a space, followed by a name which terminates with a newline character. If the last four characters in an ID string are "PRIV", then that student's record will not be written to the public posting output files. Raw assignment scores follow, listed in order, separated by spaces. Text may occur between scores to make input more readable. Finally you may include individual comments for a student. New feature 3/2009 in version 2.9: Put students' email addresses as the first line of their comments section. This is used to send individual student grade reports by email. If you do not use this feature, you may omit email addresses. It is suggested that you use the grade entering facility (from the menu) to enter your grades.
