All the instructor related scripts and programs are made via the tap program. You use it as follows:
tap graceinstr
This will modify your environment ($PATH, etc...) to allow you to run the programs described below.
Important You should never have to manually add a student to a class. Students will be automagically added/removed as course registration information changes (I.e. as the drop/add classes), without you having to do anything at all. This also means that unless you except a student (see below), running the addstudent command on a student who is not in the course registration data will simply result in the student being added, and then promptly being automatically removed again.
The following is an example of how to add a student to a class. You will need to use the addstudent script, which is available by tap graceinstr. Here are several examples:
addstudent 2005 fall cmsc 114 0101 bart
addstudent 2005 summer2 math 140 0201h bart lisa marge
bart
lisa
marge
maggie
homer
moe
wiggum
You can add all these students with one command, like this:
addstudent 2005 summer1a enee 893 0101 < ~/students
Important You should never have to manually remove a student to a class. Students will be automagically added/removed as course registration information changes (I.e. as the drop/add classes), without you having to do anything at all. This also means that unless you except a student (see below), running the delstudent command on a student who is in the course registration data will simply result in the student being removed, and then promptly being automatically added again.
The following is an example of how to remove a student from a class. You will need to use the remstudent script, which is available by tap graceinstr. Here are several examples:
remstudent 2005 fall cmsc 114 0101 bart
remstudent 2005 summer2 math 140 0201h bart lisa marge
bart
lisa
marge
maggie
homer
moe
wiggum
You can remove all these students with one command, like
this:
remstudent 2005 summer1a enee 893 0101 < ~/students
Important This should only be used in extreme circumstances where you want to grant a student access to a course and you know that they will be let in (I.e. they are #2 on the waitlist).
The following is an example of how to except a student from a auto drop/add of a class. You will need to use the exceptstudent script, which is available by tap graceinstr. Here are several examples:
exceptstudent 2005 fall cmsc 114 0101 bart
exceptstudent 2005 summer2 math 140 0201h bart lisa marge
bart
lisa
marge
maggie
homer
moe
wiggum
You can except all these students with one command, like
this:
exceptstudent 2005 summer1a enee 893 0101 < ~/students
The following is an example of how to add a TA to a class. You will need to use the addta script, which is available by tap graceinstr. Here are several examples:
addta 2005 fall cmsc 114 0101 homer
addta 2005 summer2 math 140 0201h homer moe wiggum
bart
lisa
marge
maggie
homer
moe
wiggum
You can add all these TA's with one command, like this:
addta 2005 summer1a enee 893 0101 < ~/ta
The following is an example of how to remove a ta from a class. You will need to use the remstudent script, which is available by tap graceinstr. Here are several examples:
remta 2005 fall cmsc 114 0101 homer
remta 2005 summer2 math 140 0201h homer moe wiggum
bart
lisa
marge
maggie
homer
moe
wiggum
You can remove all these TA's with one command, like this:
remta 2005 summer1a enee 893 0101 < ~/ta
