[gradebook2-dev] About TA exporting or importing the grades

[Thomas Amsler]

Kim,

To debug the client side, you have to run GB2 in DEV mode in eclipse.
Then you can use GWT.log(java.lang.String message, java.lang.Throwable
e) to print log messages to the GWT Development Mode console. You can
also set breakpoints etc. just as you would debug the server side.

You guys modified the GB2 Tools menu to remove the Final Grade
Submission option right? I wonder if that change somehow affects the
Tools --> Export menu items.

Best,
-- Thomas

I was not sure whether the TA is given the permission to export/import the grades by design. And also which part of code controls the permission for TA access.
