This is my repository for the bots that I have developed for Quercus (Canvas for the University of Toronto), based on RESTful API

Bot-1: Batch grade with comment uploader (importing comments from a file)

Canvas does not have the capability of batch uploading assignment comments. This is an open issue for instructors with about 400 instructors requesting this feature. When there is a large number of students, instructors have to post comments separately for each student, which is time consuming.

This bot allows instructors/TAs to simultinously submit the grade and comment of each assignment submission automatically from an Excel/csv file. The code can be easily modified for other needs.

This bot uses the official Canvas API, therefore, it should be compatible with any university LMS that uses Canvas.

Bot-2: Autograder only accounting for late submissions.

This bot will autograde all the submissions and deduct certain points for late submissions.
