Adding A Class List
  • An alternative to these directions is the webwork classlist Excel macro.
  • This tutorial will explain the steps involved in adding your class-list to the courses you are teaching.
  • Download your class list off of ursa. 
  • Delete all of the headers and footers.  In other words, all your class list should include is the student names and information that is already in the file.  Your class list should look something like this classlist2.xls
  • The next step is to separate the names into two individual columns (when you download the class list from ursa the last name and first name are combined into the same column, you will need to fix this).   After the columns that contains the names add a new colomn.    Select the column that contains the names, then click on the data tab and click text-to-columns.  Choose deliminated then comma deliminated.  For pictures click here (cdelpictures).
  • Now you will need to edit the class list to the following standards.  Class list standarrds
  • Save the file as a comma delimitated (.csv) file.
  • You will then need to re-name the file as a .lst file. However, if you are working in windows you will want to wait to do this step.
  • Go to the UNC School of Mathematical Sciences Webwork page http://mathit.unco.edu/webwork2
  • Click on your course and log in.
  • Once you have logged in, click on the file manager tab.
  • Click "Choose File"(or "browse" in windows) at the bottom right hand side of the screen.
  • Select the file that represents your class list.
  • Click "upload." 
  • If you are using windows you will now want to click on the rename tag and change the file to "classlist.lst".
  • Click on the class-list editor tab.
  • Select import users from file with "examplefile.lst", "no" and "any" as the options.
  • Click on the "take action" button and your class list will be imported.
  • Later, if you need to add an individual student simply select add student and click on the take action button.
