Feature Flaw - Unable to mark multiple students as once

[colinhia]

For a TA, they are likely to have multiple students taking the same class, so marking attendance for multiple students at once is a very likely and common scenario.

However, currently to mark multiple students, the TA would have to run the same mark command x number of times (x being the number of students), which is incredibly cumbersome.

Perhaps you could enhance the functionality of mark by allowing it to mark a range of indexes rather than merely one index at a time?

Team's Response

Hi,

Thanks for your bug report. Indeed it would be more convenient to have a command that is able to mark multiple students at once. However, a quick way to overcome this is by copy pasting the mark command. We have thought about implementing this feature but, given the workaround, felt that it was not as important. Thus we will be marking this as not in scope

:question: Issue response

Team chose [response.NotInScope]

• [x] I disagree

Reason for disagreement: According to the guidelines, for something to be labelled as not in scope, it has to fulfil at least one of the two criteria:

• The UG specifies it as not supported or coming in a future version.
• The user cannot attempt to use the missing feature or when the user does so, the software fails gracefully, possibly with a suitable error message i.e., the software should not crash.

The UG and DG do not mention the workaround of copy-pasting or the intention to support this in future iterations. As such, I disagree that this qualifies as not in scope.
