If the students don't know their grade when deciding the level of effort to impart on an assignment, they may be choosing non-optimally.
We solve this problem with "Nudge" a Google Drive based program that indicates not only the student's current grade, but the possible grade outcomes given various scores. This information is appended to the bottom of each student's assignment.
The feature set is as follows:
1. Create and share documents within Google Drive for each student
2. Create custom grade messaging at the bottom of each assignment or by e-mail
3. E-Mail the students grade outcomes
4. Save nudge message to a column
