Should we allow bonus points? #11

Closed oleks closed 7 years ago

oleks commented 7 years ago

I had this feature in my shell-scripted format. The idea was that the syntax was slightly different for "bonus judgements":

# Theory: /50
## Question 1: 5/10
## Question 2: 5/20
## Question 3: 5/20
## Bonus: +5

The template would then be

## Bonus: +0

Bonus points should be accounted separately to keep the overflow counts as they are, and to make bonus points selectively applicable (i.e., only if need be).

@kirkedal What do you think?

I find it a good idea.

When making the grading sheets for CompSys, I was thinking of taking out some points for a final distribution. I have previously found that I sometimes adjust some random points i make take it to the level that I find reasonable. Having a way to make this adjustment clear and be able to add a reason, would be great.

Done, except that bonus points are not accounted for separately, but just contribute to an overall sum. Incidentally, computed sums may exceed the maximum by design.
