Description

What Course are you in
I've been working on a data analysis at the University of Michigan and spotted a few problems in the logfile:
MI-F24-SI206-MW_datashop_2025-05-30-13-39

Describe the bug
The are a few issues with logging data into log file:

  1. In peer instruction question regex-plus-alt-mc1, correct answers (0,2,4) are logged as incorrect: answer:0,2,4:no:vote1.
    Example from my analysis:

  1. Few answers had an empty slot, instead of the answer (I don't remember the precise question):
    example: answer:None:no:vote1

  2. In the last peer instruction question of the semester, vote2 wasn't recorded:

  1. A lot of messages in Peer Instruction chat from from the same person to the same person are recorded more than once:

In addition, there are empty messages recorded:

Research direction

Begin with the referenced logfile and the regex-plus-alt-mc1 peer-instruction case, then trace the logging paths for answers and chat messages. Check each reported symptom against a reproducible example; done means correct multi-answer and vote2 records, no None or empty messages, and no duplicate chat entries.
