Here's another idea for getting the grade into the headline: set the
grade as a priority, like
** [#A] John Doe
Pros: it's a simple hack that doesn't require you to do any additional
parsing; it's easy to change up or down either interactively or
programmatically (cf. org-priority* functions); and it's easy to sort
headlines by priority in a custom agenda view, to give you a quick
overall picture of your grade distribution.
Cons: this would only work for A/B/C/D/F grades, and even then, it
doesn't represent +/- variants. So it's not very flexible or granular,
but it might be enough.
Best,
Richard
P.S. Like others, I too have written my own grading system:
https://github.com/wyleyr/schoolutils
It stores grades and student data in a SQLite database, and allows you
to write end-of-term grade calculations in Python, instead of messing
with spreadsheets. (Overkill? Maybe so... :)
It currently only has a command line interface, but I have been thinking
about adding an Org interface that would do basic CRUD operations on
grades via Babel. If anyone is interested in such a thing, let me
know...
