Team's Response

We intentionally limited the number of stars one can give so as to not inflate the number. It is intended that the user should give stars from 1 to 10 given the level of participation and how insightful the students were. This allows for different tutors to compare their stars in a relatively more equal manner, such that they can have a more common understanding of each others' situations. This also allow profs to tell students apart.

We intentionally limited the number of bolts one can give so as to not inflate the number to prevent abuse of the system. It does not make sense for users to mark students absent for more than 10 days at one shot (let alone more than 1). Usually, based on a use case, users would just mark a student absent when marking attendance for each class. In the rare instance the TA uses an attendance sheet instead and updates the attendance record one shot at the end of the semester, it would likely be max 10, since there are usually 10 tutorials in a semester.
