Evals

Reformatting Student Evaluations

This is mainly intended for internal use at Earlham, though it may be useful elsewhere.

After trying out several options, I settled on two dependencies:

  1. weasyprint. There are some ways to generate PDFs directly, but I like the control and portability offered by generating HTML/CSS by hand and then converting to PDF. Of the free conversion utilities that I tried, WeasyPrint was the best in terms of (a) being possible to install without going completely insane (b) working decently.
  2. wordcloud. I like making a word cloud at the end of each set of installs.

There should be two functional ways of reformatting evals:

  1. EvalReformatting-htmlpdf.ipynb is an IPython/Jupyter notebook. You can edit a few cells and run it.
  2. makepdf.py is a standalone script that will reformat an eval from the command line.

At the moment, both are in not sync. The script is newer. It would be a good idea to make the notebook import from the script, obviously.

If you're running this from your own installation, you will need to make sure it can find the Fonts directory. One easy way is to just put the Fonts directory in the directory from which you're running the script.
