set_mark feature might be impractical to use

[nus-se-bot]

The set_mark feature requires inputting multiple variables to set one score, and only one score can be set at a time.

This is quite a severe feature flaw as I cannot see myself taking the time to slowly retype the same class_id and assessment name 30 times to input the scores of one class.

The marking attendance feature has the capability to mark multiple students at once, so perhaps a similar system can be set up here too.

Unlikely to affect usage.

The reason why set_mark is made like that is so that the user will be forced to be cautious when typing in the marks for students. Allowing a multiple marking system would easily introduce mistakes into the marking process if users can mark multiple students at once.
