# **BBGradebookOrganiser**
Blackboard Gradebook Organiser
**Documentation**: [docs.vangef.net/BBGradebookOrganiser](https://docs.vangef.net/BBGradebookOrganiser)
**Source Code**: [github.com/vangef/BBGradebookOrganiser](https://github.com/vangef/BBGradebookOrganiser)
## **Description**
**Blackboard Gradebook Organiser** is a tool for organising a downloaded gradebook with assignment submissions from [Blackboard Learn ⧉](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackboard_Learn).
The submission files are organised per student, by extracting the student number from the submission file names and creating a directory per student. Compressed files are extracted into the student's directory, and any remaining individually submitted files are also moved into the student's directory. Student comments from the submissions are also extracted into a single text file for convenient access and review.
Optionally, you can inspect the submissions for identical files (by generating and comparing SHA256 hashes) and detect if any files have been submitted by multiple students. See [Inspect by hash](inspect.md) for more information.
## **Features**
- Extracts, and organises per student, the content of submitted compressed files with extensions: `.zip`, `.rar`, `.7z`
- Detects invalid/corrupt files
- Doesn't extract macOS system generated files (ignores directory *__MACOSX* inside the compressed file)
- Deletes each compressed file after successful extraction into student directory
- Organises per student any remaining individually submitted files
- Checks and extracts any comments from the student submission generated text files
- Checks if any compressed files (from the contents of the submitted compressed files) have been extracted and organised per student
- The path of any extracted and organised compressed files will be displayed on the terminal - they need to be extracted manually
- [Inspect by hash](inspect.md) generates and compares SHA256 hashes of all the submitted files, and detects files that are identical and have been submitted by multiple students. Two ways to inspect:
- Inspect gradebook: Before organising a gradebook - for identical files in the files submitted to *Blackboard*
- Inspect submissions: After organising a gradebook - for identical files in the files extracted from any submitted *compressed* files
## **Instructions**
See [***Instructions***](instructions.md) for more information & details.
## **Inspect by hash** :mag:
See [***Inspect by hash***](inspect.md) for more information & details.
## **General notes**
The Blackboard generated name for submission files must follow the pattern:
> ANYTHING_STUDENTNUMBER_attempt_DATETIME_FILENAME
## **Changes log**
See [***Changelog***](CHANGELOG.md) for notable changes and updates.

# **Inspect by hash** :mag:
Blackboard Gradebook Organiser - Inspect gradebook & submissions by hash
## **Description**
With **Inspect by hash** you can inspect the submissions for identical files (by generating and comparing SHA256 hashes) and detect if any files have been submitted by multiple students. The tool has two variations:
[*Inspect gradebook*](#inspect-gradebook): Before organising a gradebook - for identical files in the files submitted to *Blackboard*
[*Inspect submissions*](#inspect-submissions): After organising a gradebook - for identical files in the files extracted from any submitted compressed files
## **Features**
- Generates SHA256 hashes for each submitted file, and outputs the list to a CSV file
- Can exclude files from hashing, if provided with a CSV file listing the file names (only applicable for *Inspect submissions*)
- Compares the generated hashes and finds any duplicates - ignores duplicates if they are by the same student/submission
- Finds all files with the same hash and outputs the list to a CSV file with the following information:
- *Inspect gradebook*: `Student ID`, `file name`, `SHA256 hash`
- *Inspect submissions*: `Student ID`, `file path`, `file name`, `SHA256 hash`
- File names and paths listed in the generated CSV files have hyperlinks to the actual files for a quick inspection of the file contents (or running the files, if executable)
Further analysis needs to be done manually by inspecting and filtering the generated output, depending on the submission and its files.
## **Instructions**
Before running the *inspect* scripts for the first time, you also need to install the *pandas* package:
```python
python -m pip install pandas
```
### **Inspect gradebook**
If you haven't already, extract the downloaded from *Blackboard* gradebook in a new directory inside *BB_gradebooks*
- e.g. for `AssignmentX` extract the gradebook in *BB_gradebooks*/`AssignmentX`
To inspect a *gradeboook* run **`inspect_gradebook.py`** and provide the name of the gradebook directory as an argument, e.g. for the gradebook `AssignmentX` run:
```python
python inspect_gradebook.py AssignmentX
```
**Note:** run ***before*** organising a gradebook with *organise_gradebook.py* (or extract, again, the downloaded gradebook, if you want to inspect it after organising its submissions)
Generated CSV files can be found in directory `csv-inspect`, with the inspected gradebook's name as file name prefix - e.g. inspecting gradebook `AssignmentX` will create 2 CSV files:
- `AssignmentX_gradebook_file_hashes_[datetime].csv` - all files and their hashes
- `AssignmentX_gradebook_duplicate_[datetime].csv` - files with duplicate hashes
### **Inspect submissions**
To inspect *submissions* run **`inspect_submissions.py`** and provide the name of the directory with the *organised* gradebook submissions as an argument.
- e.g. for the organised gradebook `AssignmentX` (in *BB_submissions*/`AssignmentX`) run:
```python
python inspect_submissions.py AssignmentX
```
**Note:** run ***after*** organising a gradebook with *organise_gradebook.py*
Generated CSV files can be found in directory `csv-inspect`, with the inspected submission's name as file name prefix - e.g. inspecting submissions for `AssignmentX` will create 2 CSV files:
- `AssignmentX_submissions_file_hashes_[datetime].csv` - all files and their hashes
- `AssignmentX_submissions_duplicate_[datetime].csv` - files with duplicate hashes
*(Optional)* In order to exclude submission files from hashing, create a CSV file in directory `csv-inspect` to provide the file names to be excluded - e.g. for `AssignmentX` create:
- `AssignmentX_excluded.csv` with a column named `exclude_filename` and list the file names
**Note:** the directory *csv-inspect* is automatically created when you run *inspect_gradebook.py* or *inspect_submissions.py* - if you want to exclude files before the first run, you need to create it manually.

# **Instructions**
## **Download gradebook**
1. Go to the course page on Blackboard
2. Go to *Grade Centre -> Full Grade Centre*
3. Find the assignment and click on the arrow for more options, and select *Assignment File Download*
4. Select all (click *Show All* at the bottom first, to display all users) and click submit to generate the gradebook zip file
5. Wait for the generated download link to appear, and click to download
## **Extract gradebook**
Extract the downloaded gradebook in a new directory inside *BB_gradebooks*.
- e.g. for `AssignmentX` extract the gradebook in *BB_gradebooks*/`AssignmentX`
## **Organise gradebook**
Before running the script for the first time, install the required packages (*py7z*, *rarfile*):
```python
python -m pip install py7zr rarfile
```
Note: If running on Linux/Mac, you also need to have `unrar` installed in order to be able to extract *.rar* files.
- `sudo apt install unrar` for Linux
- `brew install rar` for Mac
 
To organise the gradebook run **`organise_gradebook.py`** and provide the name of the directory with the *extracted* gradebook (from section *Extract gradebook* above) as an argument.
- e.g. for gradebook `AssignmentX` (in *BB_gradebooks*/`AssignmentX`) run:
```python
python organise_gradebook.py AssignmentX
```
While running, the script displays on the terminal information and stats about the gradebook submissions and files.
## **Post-run**
- All submission files can be found - organised in directories per student number - in directory *BB_submissions*, under the sub-directory named after the gradebook name provided when running the script
- e.g. `organise_gradebook.py AssignmentX` creates the directory `AssignmentX` inside *BB_submissions*
- Each student directory contains:
- the extracted files from the submitted `.zip`, `.rar`, `.7z`
- the individually submitted files
- the text file generated by Blackboard for the submission (which also contains any comments left by the student)
- All comments found in the gradebook are extracted in a text file in *BB_submissions*, with the gradebook name as prefix
- e.g. `AssignmentX_comments.txt` will be created for gradebook `AssignmentX`
- Compressed files are deleted after successfully extracting and organising the contents
- Any invalid/corrupt compressed files are moved into folder `__BAD__` inside the gradebook directory
