auto-accept honor code #93

Closed CrimsonGlory closed 10 years ago

CrimsonGlory commented 10 years ago

You probably want to rewrite this patch, as I don't know python (no joke). It works but its ugly. This patch adds the option --honor-code to auto-accept the honor code. Also, if course isn't found, it tries appending -001 to the course name.

Many courses now redirect to coursename-001 for the first time its taught, -002 for the second time,etc. The script should search for this automatically. I'll open a ticket with this.

Thanks. However, I explicitly chose not no accept the honour code automatically and keep that a manual thing. Mass downloading of coursera material is against their ToS and this at least makes it a bit more explicit what you are doing and reminds you to obey the rules of each class.

Would it be ethically ok for you if the script printed the honor code and then waited for user input like "Accept honor-code? [Y/n]" ?

dgorissen commented 10 years ago

To be honest I would avoid also this. Either way my time is very limited and there are more urgent things I would like to do first.
