| th1a | hi replaceafill. | 16:26 |
|---|---|---|
| replaceafill | hey th1a | 16:26 |
| * th1a has had an exasperating morning. | 16:28 | |
| th1a | Couldn't get back to sleep last night and Julia arrived at school minus a shoe, which I can't find. | 16:28 |
| replaceafill | :| | 16:28 |
| th1a | She's wearing boots, ofc. | 16:29 |
| th1a | Catching up with these emails. | 16:30 |
| replaceafill | kk | 16:30 |
| replaceafill | i was still up when Fran wrote | 16:31 |
| th1a | That always helps. | 16:31 |
| th1a | I was up from 2:00 to 5:00 AM, but didn't really want to start working. ;-) | 16:31 |
| replaceafill | :D | 16:32 |
| th1a | Do you understand this: "Report card mark would be the Term average" | 16:33 |
| replaceafill | we should display only that grade in the report card? | 16:34 |
| th1a | I can ask if she means for each term and total. I assume you understand the calculation. | 16:35 |
| th1a | ? | 16:35 |
| replaceafill | for the average? | 16:36 |
| replaceafill | the term average should be an average of the the BOT sheet average, the MOT sheet average and the EOT sheet average | 16:36 |
| replaceafill | if that makes sense | 16:36 |
| th1a | OK. | 16:36 |
| th1a | I'll follow up on that. | 16:36 |
| th1a | I didn't notice anything else confusing. | 16:37 |
| replaceafill | that matches her example | 16:37 |
| th1a | Anything from your end? | 16:38 |
| replaceafill | the only thing i have trouble remembering is some term equivalency | 16:38 |
| replaceafill | Class -> ST levels | 16:38 |
| replaceafill | Subject -> ST course | 16:38 |
| replaceafill | Stream -> ST group | 16:39 |
| replaceafill | i think i got it right | 16:39 |
| th1a | I think a class moves from level to level as a unit, in general. | 16:40 |
| th1a | Yes? | 16:40 |
| replaceafill | right | 16:40 |
| replaceafill | one thing that got my attention is | 16:40 |
| replaceafill | in the 1. Basic classroom report | 16:41 |
| replaceafill | her Subject filter example | 16:41 |
| replaceafill | has | 16:41 |
| replaceafill | S3a Maths | 16:41 |
| replaceafill | while the rest of the reports have Streams instead | 16:41 |
| replaceafill | i wonder if she really wants two filters there | 16:42 |
| replaceafill | Subject + Stream | 16:42 |
| th1a | Hm. | 16:42 |
| th1a | If it is easy, maybe just add it. | 16:42 |
| replaceafill | ok | 16:43 |
| replaceafill | i tested more formatting options in xlwt | 16:43 |
| replaceafill | like whole numbers | 16:43 |
| replaceafill | it'll make the reports more undertandable | 16:44 |
| replaceafill | and we're not spitting strings | 16:44 |
| replaceafill | i also started creating a sample data using Uganda's dates (terms, holidays, etc) | 16:44 |
| th1a | ah ok | 16:44 |
| replaceafill | and subjects | 16:44 |
| replaceafill | she got confused by the 12 grades... | 16:45 |
| replaceafill | my bad | 16:45 |
| replaceafill | that's it from me | 16:45 |
| th1a | Well, it is good she's detail oriented. | 16:45 |
| replaceafill | definitely | 16:46 |
| replaceafill | oh | 16:46 |
| th1a | Did you see the mockups? | 16:46 |
| replaceafill | i checked your mocks | 16:46 |
| replaceafill | :D | 16:46 |
| replaceafill | yes | 16:46 |
| replaceafill | in the Assesment Sheets mock | 16:47 |
| replaceafill | 1 minute, someone knocking on the door | 16:47 |
| th1a | ok | 16:48 |
| replaceafill | back | 16:48 |
| replaceafill | so the three sheets | 16:48 |
| replaceafill | bot, mot, eot | 16:48 |
| replaceafill | those will be empty | 16:48 |
| replaceafill | also a custom optional sheet | 16:48 |
| th1a | Yes. | 16:48 |
| replaceafill | also empty | 16:49 |
| replaceafill | but target | 16:49 |
| replaceafill | that'll have an activity, right? | 16:49 |
| th1a | Is a one item report sheet, I think! | 16:49 |
| th1a | I can double check that too. | 16:49 |
| replaceafill | ok, i'm not sure | 16:49 |
| replaceafill | but the target may be different | 16:49 |
| replaceafill | according to the level | 16:49 |
| replaceafill | some levels use % | 16:49 |
| replaceafill | and some use a score system | 16:49 |
| replaceafill | right? | 16:49 |
| replaceafill | i remember you or Fran said something about it being just a number | 16:50 |
| th1a | OK, I'll ask. | 16:51 |
| replaceafill | ok | 16:51 |
| replaceafill | also | 16:51 |
| replaceafill | some of the assesment report ask MOCK to be created just for S4 level | 16:51 |
| replaceafill | i want to ask your opinion | 16:52 |
| replaceafill | should we use level __name__s | 16:52 |
| replaceafill | i was thinking | 16:52 |
| replaceafill | the level container is an ordered container | 16:52 |
| replaceafill | if the levels are created from 1-6 | 16:52 |
| replaceafill | we could assume the forth is S4 | 16:52 |
| th1a | I guess we could. | 16:53 |
| th1a | It isn't a priority for me at this point. | 16:53 |
| replaceafill | i guess my point is | 16:53 |
| replaceafill | how much control we're going to have over level, subject creation | 16:53 |
| replaceafill | i mean | 16:53 |
| replaceafill | i guess they'll all use a spreadsheet, right? | 16:54 |
| replaceafill | for setting things up | 16:54 |
| replaceafill | and we can influence/recommend on that | 16:54 |
| replaceafill | but yes | 16:54 |
| replaceafill | it's not a big deal | 16:54 |
| replaceafill | at this point | 16:54 |
| th1a | Yeah, we should assume we can control those things. | 16:54 |
| replaceafill | last but not least on this | 16:54 |
| replaceafill | the UCE sheet | 16:55 |
| replaceafill | will it be a sheet | 16:55 |
| replaceafill | or a course | 16:55 |
| th1a | Uh... | 16:56 |
| replaceafill | it's just that in the meeting yesterday i heard UCE + course, which got me confused | 16:56 |
| th1a | Oh. | 16:56 |
| th1a | Well, | 16:56 |
| th1a | Whatever makes sense internally. | 16:56 |
| th1a | It is just a separate form the clerk fills out, right? | 16:56 |
| replaceafill | but teachers shouldn't be able to modify it, right? | 16:57 |
| th1a | But it is associated with a section. | 16:57 |
| th1a | Right. | 16:57 |
| replaceafill | ok | 16:58 |
| replaceafill | i guess we could adjust the gradebook view to display readonly activities | 16:58 |
| replaceafill | for that sheet only | 16:58 |
| replaceafill | that tweak seems easier to me | 16:58 |
| th1a | OK, that's fine with me. | 16:59 |
| replaceafill | teachers will see the tab sometimes though | 16:59 |
| replaceafill | ok | 16:59 |
| replaceafill | cool | 16:59 |
| replaceafill | finally, student promotion | 16:59 |
| replaceafill | my only comment here is about dates | 16:59 |
| replaceafill | person levels are temporary relationships | 16:59 |
| replaceafill | we could assume dates based on when the form is used | 17:00 |
| replaceafill | i guess | 17:00 |
| th1a | Oh, right, well, we could add a single effective date. | 17:00 |
| replaceafill | or set some effective date next to the submit button | 17:00 |
| replaceafill | :)) | 17:00 |
| th1a | Yeah. | 17:00 |
| replaceafill | oko | 17:00 |
| replaceafill | ok | 17:00 |
| replaceafill | makes sense | 17:00 |
| replaceafill | that's it | 17:01 |
| replaceafill | oh wait, sorry | 17:01 |
| replaceafill | there's one thing i can't remember | 17:01 |
| th1a | :-D | 17:01 |
| replaceafill | i mean | 17:02 |
| replaceafill | i can't remember why we decided to do it the way it is | 17:02 |
| replaceafill | it's about student attendance | 17:02 |
| replaceafill | at first student attendance was a single input, right? | 17:02 |
| replaceafill | then they came up with this AM/PM request | 17:02 |
| replaceafill | at that point some of the existing reports were modified | 17:02 |
| replaceafill | to keep showing single days | 17:03 |
| th1a | Not AM/PM? | 17:03 |
| replaceafill | i mean a student was present or absent once | 17:03 |
| replaceafill | in a day | 17:03 |
| replaceafill | but when i was working on the skip flag | 17:04 |
| replaceafill | i looked at that piece of logic | 17:04 |
| replaceafill | and doesn't make much sense | 17:04 |
| replaceafill | for instance | 17:04 |
| replaceafill | for a particular day | 17:04 |
| replaceafill | Jonhy is present in AM | 17:04 |
| replaceafill | and Suspended (or ignored) in PM | 17:04 |
| replaceafill | the current logic is: both AM and PM present count as present | 17:05 |
| th1a | Yeah..., ignored isn't absent. | 17:05 |
| replaceafill | so AM/ignored will be marked as absent now | 17:06 |
| replaceafill | i guess for percentage reports | 17:06 |
| replaceafill | we could separate the marks | 17:06 |
| replaceafill | (grades) | 17:06 |
| th1a | Well, really, it is whatever they want. | 17:06 |
| replaceafill | ok | 17:06 |
| replaceafill | we should ask | 17:06 |
| replaceafill | as you can see | 17:06 |
| th1a | I think this kind of thing is what they want to confirm. | 17:06 |
| replaceafill | i have trouble explaining it :D | 17:06 |
| th1a | Can you handle that one? | 17:06 |
| th1a | It just depends on exactly what the code says. | 17:07 |
| replaceafill | the code says: you are considered present if both AM/PM is present | 17:07 |
| replaceafill | and skipped if both AM/PM are skip | 17:07 |
| replaceafill | ok | 17:07 |
| replaceafill | i'll ask Fran | 17:07 |
| th1a | OK. Thanks. | 17:07 |
| * replaceafill writes that down | 17:08 | |
| replaceafill | ok | 17:08 |
| th1a | I don't want to be translating code. | 17:08 |
| replaceafill | i know | 17:08 |
| replaceafill | ah th1a i created a box.com account | 17:09 |
| replaceafill | thanks for sharing | 17:09 |
| th1a | Give you a confirmation this isn't all going into my Swiss bank account. ;-) | 17:10 |
| replaceafill | :)) | 17:10 |
| th1a | OK, I'm going to see if I can figure out where this shoe went and then email Fran. | 17:11 |
| replaceafill | :D | 17:12 |
| replaceafill | ok | 17:12 |
| replaceafill | thanks th1a | 17:12 |
| replaceafill | good luck with the shoe ;) | 17:12 |
| th1a | Thanks replaceafill. | 17:12 |
