Assignment

Here's my situation. I use Advanced Uploading of Files with Send for marking enabled. And, hey, I try to be a nice guy, so if students want, they can upload their assignment early (in Word doc format), I'll have a look at it, and give them some preliminary feedback by uploading a response file (in Word doc format). This preliminary feedback obviously won't have a grade, just some tips or guidance before their final submission.

Now here's the tricky bit.

The problem is that without a grade, students do not have access to the response file. Enter a grade, and voila, students can see the response file.

It seems that there is something in the PHP that says, "If there is no grade, then the student cannot see the response file; if there *is* a grade, then students can see the response file."

I need the code to be written such that "grade or not, students can see the response file".

Does anyone know a hack for this?

You know, that little drop down list of grades has the choices:
No grade
10
9
8
7
6
...

If I leave the selection at "No grade", students can't see the response file, but selecting a grade allows them to see the file. I suppose I could give the students all "0/10" (or whatever) so that they can see their response files, but the shock of seeing "0" might cause some alarm. We're trying to avoid upsetting the students here.

Please don't suggest sharing files with students via another module or avenue. I want all of this "file sharing" for a particular assignment to be within the same assignment link. It's less clutter and easier for the students to find.
