Why does d3 handle the grading rather than the server? #58

Should the grading be done on the server rather than in the d3, which is accessible by the participants? Potentially by reading the javascript I can tell whether I was positively or negatively primed.

Maybe not a problem since most participants won't read the javascript

Right now I'm not worried about people going to that length to cheat, but we should definitely make a long term goal:

Replace the thick front-end (that includes grading and opportunities for cheating), with a thicker back-end that handles grading before storing data.

Thinking about this more-- it's really up to the module creator as to whether grading is done on the client or the server.

Right now most modules are client-side, so I expect grading will be done there.
