Workflow

Workflow.json (Config file)

A few things can or need to be added to workflow.json:

• sequence, a list of assignments in order
  • For example: "sequence": [ "AssignmentWeek1", "AssignmentWeek2", "AssignmentWeek3"]
• groups, a dict of groups of assignments
  • It should be a dict with as key the name of a group. The value of this dict is again a dict, with keys "assignments" and "weight". The key "assignments" should have as value a list of assignments and "weight" should have the relative weight as a number (for the whole group).
  • For example: "groups": { "Assignments": { "assignments": [ "AssignmentWeek1", "AssignmentWeek2", "AssignmentWeek3", ], "weight": 20 }}
• resits, a dict of resits, and which assignments it replaces
  • It should be a dict with as keys the names of the resits, and as values the name of the assignment it replaces or a list of names.
  • For example: "resits": { "ResitExam1": "Exam1", "OverallResit": [ "Exam1", "Exam2" ] }
• requirements, a list of minimal grades students have to have for assignment groups to pass the course
  • It should be a list of dictionaries, with as keys "groups" and "min_grade". The value of groups can be a string or list and should refer to the name of a group. The value of min_grade should be a number.
  • For example: "requirements": [ { "groups": "Theoretical_Assignments", "min_grade": 4.5 }, { "groups": ["Practical_Assignments", "Theoretical_Assignments"], "min_grade": 5.5 } ]
