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

  • Learner name

  • The email address of each learner associated with a submitted solution

  • The unique identifier for the solution

  • Submission component ID

  • The contents of the submitted solution

  • The number of tests that the solution passed

  • The number of tests for this problem

  • The date and time the solution was submitted

  • The number of tests passed

  • The size of the submission

  • The assessment score

  • The unique identifier for the problem the learner tried to solve

  • The title of the problem

  • Problem component ID

  • The unique identifier for the assignment

  • The 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 problem in the assignment, the zip file contains:

  • The reference solution

  • The solution template

  • A folder that contains 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.
