Marking

These instructions are only for M269 tutors. They make it easier to mark the submitted TMAs.

Windows

You can create additional desktop shortcuts, each opening Jupyter in a different start folder, e.g. the eTMA marking folders for each TMA.

  1. Right click on the desktop. Select ‘new shortcut’.

  2. Type powershell. Hit ‘Next’ and then ‘Finish’: ‘powershell’ gets automatically expanded to the full name of the program.

  3. Right click on the new desktop icon. Select ‘Properties’.

  4. Modify the start-up folder to be your M269 folder.

  5. Append -file start.ps1 path/to/folder to the target field, in order to start Jupyter in path/to/folder. If the path includes spaces, you must enclose it in quotes. The command should now read: C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -file start.ps1 path/to/folder.

  6. You can update the shortcut icon, if you wish. To get a Jupyter icon instead of a PowerShell icon, use %USERPROFILE%\venvs\m269-25j\Lib\site-packages\nbclassic\static\base\images\favicon.ico.

We thank M269 tutor Bob Moore for creating the original version of start.ps1 and of these shortcut instructions.

Linux and macOS

To open JupyterLab in folder path/to/folder, e.g. the eTMA folder for a particular TMA, follow these steps:

  1. Open a new terminal.
  2. Enter cd path/to/folder.
  3. Enter nb.
  4. After marking the notebooks, click on File > Shut Down and then close the browser tab.
  5. Close the terminal.
