Mark Deduction For Late Evaluation Submission

Refer to ticket #364

Requirements

An admin/instructor:

• Should be able to set mark penalty scale for late evaluation submissions.

The students:

• Should be notified about the mark penalties for late evaluation submissions.

DB Changes

• Two new tables have been added : Penalty, and User_grade_penalty.
• Run the attached SQL queries to update your current database.

  CREATE TABLE `penalties` (
    `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    `event_id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
    `days_late` int(11) NOT NULL,
    `percent_penalty` int(11) NOT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
    KEY `fk_events` (`event_id`)
  ) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
  
  ALTER TABLE `penalties`
    ADD CONSTRAINT `fk_events` FOREIGN KEY (`event_id`) REFERENCES `events` (`id`) ON DELETE CASCADE;
  

Implementation

• An instructor or admin can choose to apply ONE late penalty scale to an event.
• For now, the late penalty applies to all of the groups that are assigned to an evaluation event.
• By default, the penalty scale will have increments of one day.
• The penalty scale can still be modified after the initial setting.
