[Using Sakai] Requesting review of additional Gradebook1 features

[Marilyn Dispensa]

Sam,
Here's some feedback from one of the instructors in our Sakai Pilot.

    * The ability to drop low scores would be great.  I use that in some
      courses.  Typically I will say something like the highest 8 of 10
      quizzes count (I would want the ability to drop more than just 1
      low quiz).
    * The total points is important to me -- I want to see it and I want
      my students to see it.
    * PDF not imp.  Can export to excel & PDF from there.  Have to
      export anyway to calculate grades . . .

PS Another desire is the ability to give the test with different release 
criteria.  e.g. A student with special needs needs twice the time limit. 
I did this for someone and actually had to deploy the test twice. Or a 
student who needs to take a test at a different time.  This was very 
easy in BlackCT.
