Feature Request: Easy switching of student you are acting as. #1183
Description
Hello,
I have been using WeBWorK, like many, to do remote assignments in which I also have students submit work. When grading them I look at both their work and the answers they enter into WeBWorK to judge partial credit. This means I have to switch which student I'm acting as a lot, and the number of clicks adds up.
I tried to look at the code, but am not familiar enough with both perl and WeBWorK to write my own patch, but it would be nice if the "Acting as user_id. [Stop Acting]" part in the top would have a drop down menu for the user_id so I could switch between students on the current assignment I'm viewing without having to click the class list, click the student, then click the assignment again.
I know I can do this by add "effectiveUser=user_id" in the url, but this too is slow (partly because then I have to look up the students username each time).
Anyways, thanks for all the work you have done, I have really enjoyed using WeBWorK, just trying to find some ways to speed up my grading of assignments in which I use WeBWorK to randomize problems, but also require students to submit work and grade both together.
