This example uses Graderworks to grade student's .sldprt files.
After the students finish the assignment, you put all of the files into a single folder. The file name of each SOLIDWORKS part file should be consistent so that Graderworks can extract the student's username from the file name.
Click "Add a new Assignment" to create a new assignment. You could also select a previous assignment in the assignment dropdown to add more data to the assignment or re-export the existing data.
Configure Graderworks by telling what types of files to grade, and how to extract the username from the filename.
In the configuration window, click the rubric tab. Then, click "Add New Rubric Item." Next, set up the rubric item and include the file path to the correct answer file. Finally, in the rubric tab, click the checkbox to automatically launch the mail merge of filled out rubrics when Graderworks finishes analyzing all the files.
Graderworks will begin by pre-analyzing the correct answer file; then, it will loop over all the SOLIDWORKS files extracting information and comparing them to the correct answer. A progress bar at the bottom will show you the percentage of files that have been finished and estimated time of completion.
Graderworks creates an Excel document with all the grading information, and Graderworks will automatically create a Microsoft Word mail merge document with the filled out rubric for each student.
When Graderworks is finished, it will export an Excel file. The last sheet of the Excel file will contain information about plagiarism. This sheet will contain files that need to be examined more carefully to determine if a student plagiarized. Open the file.
