hours

[Cory Grizzle]

I see that the Hours planned vs. the hours completed is up on the site.  Very excited.  I am very confused about how it calculates, though.  I was on there to move lessons around, and I didn't plan extra hours, just checked completed assignments and bumped necessary uncompleted work.  The hours completed rose significantly (although, I didn't add it up to check for accuracy!)  but the hours planned rose as well.  I was suspicious after I played with Gregory's plans and then I noticed Sophie's hours planned rose by one hour.  If I didn't add any lessons, wouldn't they DEcrease, since I checked off completed lessons, making the total hours stay the same and the completed hours rise?

Here is how it calculates

hours completed is the cumulative number of hours from lessons marked
as complete in your current grading period.
hours planned is the cumulative number of hours planned but not marked
as complete from today until the end of the period.
hours total is the sum of those two - the potential total hours for
the period.

not shown are hours which are incomplete, but in the past. These are
lost :(

When you bump lessons, the planned and total hours can increase,
particularly if you bump from the past (yesterdays lessons were lost,
but now are planned).
When you grade today's lessons, complete hours should rise, planned
hours decrease, and total remain constant.
When you grade yesterday's lessons, complete hours should rise,
planned hours remain constant, and total hours should rise.

Don't grade tomorrow's lessons.

There should be no impact on other students either. So I can't
explain everything you saw. I will check my tests and verify we have
test cases for this.

For Gregory, I see 54 hours complete, 56 planned right now
For Sophie, I see 59 hours complete, 20 planned right now

do these sound correct?

I can send you the exact dates, courses, and times if you can match
them up?

wow, complicated, ok. But I think I get it. I'm not sure I have the
patience to count up everything to check. I might be able to at some point,
but I am already trying to keep up. (sad, isnt' it?)

I've tested on my end and not seen the side effects, other than those
I listed.

Can you do this for me?

Next time you grade, write down your hours first, do your grading, and
then compare your hours. The changes should make sense to you.
Next time you bump, do the same.

You've been accurate in your description of bugs - I don't want to
explain away what you have seen...
