Naming of Student Files Extracted for Grading

To ensure uniqueness, files extracted for grading from a downloaded archive do not have the same filenames shown in the Grade Answers page. Instead, these files use a naming convention that identifies the student, assignment, question, and question part for which the file was submitted.

The naming convention for student files downloaded for grading is:

username@institution_AID_QID_question_part.extension

where:

username and institution are your student's WebAssign username and WebAssign institution code.
AID is the assignment ID.
QID is the question ID.
question and part each identify the position of the question and question part in the assignment, starting at 0 for the first question or question part.
extension is the filename extension used in your student's uploaded file.

For example, if student dmwhite@webassign submitted a Perl script for the first part of the second question (question ID 1217570) on assignment ID 1010368, the file would be named:

dmwhite@webassign_1010368_1217570_1_0.pl
