# calculate_workshop_grades

Calculate a workshop's grades in the evaluation phase, as "Re-calculate grades" does: each submission's grade from its assessments, each assessment's grade for assessing by the workshop's evaluation method, comparison its strictness. Overridden grades stay. Returns the submissions and assessments with their grades (people as aliases when the server pseudonymizes). Students will see the grades once the workshop is closed: confirm with the person first.
