Canvas grading

Easy way of downloading student submissions for grading in Canvas

How to use

Compile with:

cargo build --release

Move the binary into path somewhere. For example:

cp target/release/grader $HOME/.local/bin/

Then you need to place this into your .zshrc, .bashrc etc... if it's not already in path:

export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin

Now you can move into where you want to install the submissions

Before you run the program you need to create a .env file with a token, course id and assignment id

TOKEN="xxx"
COURSE=12345
ASSIGNMENT=12345

You can also override all of the variables with command line arguments. See -h or --help

USAGE:
grader --token <TOKEN> --course <COURSE> --assignment <ASSIGNMENT>

OPTIONS:
-a, --assignment <ASSIGNMENT>    [env: ASSIGNMENT=12345]
-c, --course <COURSE>            [env: COURSE=12345]
-h, --help                       Print help information
-t, --token <TOKEN>              [env: TOKEN=xxx]
-V, --version                    Print version information

Now you can run the binary grader to download submissions for the students in your section.

This should install all submissions for the specified course and assignment that you need to grade. The script will automatically try to find the section(s) that you are a TA for, and will only download submissions for those
