How do you enter your grade? I use a function, bound to a convenient key
like s-s g, which sets the grade property. You could have that function
change the heading TODO state to DONE so you know it is done, and maybe
add a tag with the grade, or just append the grade on the end of the
headline.

I just set the grade with "C- C-x p GRADE", too slow! I would love to see your function though I can doubtless at least write THAT myself. Yeas, then having that same function change the todo state (to "READY" in my case -- I change to "DONE when I email out the comments), would make a lot of sense.

Adding the grade as a tag doesn't seem quite right, as I often change grades after a rewrite. I'd need to get rid of the original tag. Adding to the headline might work, but I'd have to change some of my existing functions which use the headline value as a proxy for the student name. Could definitely be done.

I also use a function that runs org-map-entries and constructs a
temporary gradebook as an org-table in a new buffer.

please please show us? Thank you!
