About

This script was made to assist lecturers and tutors at uni. It automates some parts of the university marking process (such as sorting and organising files).

This includes:

• Unzipping all student assignments automatically
• Sorting each student into a separate folder with their files
• Copying the feedback sheet into each student's folder

To Run

This only works with the zip files generated from UONline (Blackboard) - University of Newcastle, and certain assignment submission file formats.

There is an example zip folder under gradebook-example/Gradebook.zip that includes 'dummy' files zipped in the same way as it would in the real use case.

• Open the command prompt by typing 'cmd' into the windows search bar.
• Navigate to the location of the script:

cd C:\Users\User\Documents\...\sorting-script

• Run:

Java Script

A folder explorer will appear asking you to navigate to the zip folder that you want to sort. When testing, use the gradebook-example/Gradebook.zip folder.

Another folder explorer will open asking you to navigate to the feedback sheet you want to copy for each student. When testing, use the gradebook-example/Feedback-Template.xlsx file.

To build

If you want to make changes and re-compile the program, run the command:

Javac Script.java
