Have you considered the database module? You can design both the entry form and the view on your own and be quite creative. You can use it like a forum and communicate with students privately.

It affects 1.9.9 and earlier but fixed only in 1.9.11 and higher. I think someone suggested some time ago a direct hack to resolve this issue. Try to search for it in the forum. If you want to try a javascript solution I can suggest the code.
I think this issue is fixed only in the upcoming version 2 (you can check the tracker). In the meantime you can use javascript. It is not foolproof but better than nothing. All you need is a simple function in the js template that checks the due date (defined as a constant) against the current time and if the due date has passed redirects to the list view. Then you call this function from the add entry page. Since the javascript may be disabled in the user's browser you can also make the entry form hidden by default and revealed by this function. hth
Also, for special characters you can use the html code. For instance, you can search and replace æ with æ or ø with ø.
To mass delete, save a preset of the database, create a new database, apply the preset and delete the old database.
If you uploaded 100 records and got extra 1000 blank entries, it suggests that your csv is not properly formatted. But it's hard to tell without looking at a sample. Try adding two entries, exporting these entries into a csv or excel and use that file as a template for the csv.
