Download Submissions to Analyze Learning Outcomes

You can download submission data for learner submissions. Available formats are:

  • Comma Separated Values (CSV)

  • Microsoft® Excel®

  • MATLAB® files

The MATLAB files download is useful if you want to run learner solutions through plagiarism detection software.

Report Types

  • Best solution as of the due date — Includes data for the most recently submitted, best solution that each learner submitted on or before the assignment due date. The number of tests passed determines the best solution.

  • Best solution as of today — Includes data for the most recently submitted, best solution that each learner submitted on or before the current date. The number of tests passed determines the best solution.

  • All solutions — Includes data for all solutions that each learner tested and submitted, including solutions submitted after the assignment due date.

What Does the Download Contain?

If you choose CSV or Excel format, then the download contains a row for each learner solution. For each solution, the data contains the following columns:

  • Learner name

    • MATLAB Grader™ hosted course—the value you entered when you enrolled the learner.

    • Learning Management System (LMS) course—the learner name appears when provided by the LMS. For questions about learner data, contact your LMS administrator.

  • Email address of each learner associated with a submitted solution

    • MATLAB Grader hosted course — the email address is the value you entered when you enrolled the learner.

    • LMS course — the email address appears when provided by the LMS. For questions about learner data, contact your LMS administrator.

  • Unique identifier for the solution

  • Submission component ID

  • Contents of the submitted solution

  • Number of tests that the solution passed

  • Number of tests for this assessment item

  • Date and time the solution was submitted

  • Number of tests passed

  • Size of the submission

  • Assessment test score

  • Unique identifier for the assessment item the learner tried to solve

  • Title of the assessment item

  • Assessment Item component ID

  • Unique identifier for the assignment

  • Title of the assignment

  • Whether the learner submitted a solution after the assignment due date. If the value is N, the learner submitted the solution on time. If the value is Y, the learner submitted the solution after the due date.

If you generate a MATLAB files report, the download is a zip file with the code for all the solutions. For each assessment item in the assignment, the zip file contains:

  • Reference solution

  • Solution template

  • Folder containing a MATLAB code file for each learner solution. The code file name consists of the unique solution identifier and the email address of the learner.
