#' @description
#' Package for processing and grading multiple choice exams at Wageningen
#' University & Research.
#'
#' @details
#' Multiple choice answers sheets from students at Wageningen University &
#' Research are generally scanned and processed into a Microsoft Excel worbook,
#' containing a worksheet named with the course code, by EDUsupport (part of
#' IT support).
#'
#' The used multiple choice answer sheets, however, also allow for scanning and
#' processing with the free, open source OMR (optical mark recognition) software
#' FormScanner (\url{http://www.formscanner.org/}). This package can convert the
#' resulting FormScanner `.csv` file (in reality a semicolon separated file)
#' into a Microsoft Excel workbook `.xlsx` file with the same content layout as
#' generated by EDUsupport.
#'
#' Next the Microsoft Excel workbook is used as one of the required inputs for
#' grading the student multiple choice answer sheets. Other required files are:
#'
#'   * a file containing the answer key for the various versions (at most 4: A,
#'     B, C, D) used,
#'   * a file containing the students that registered for the exam,
#'   * OPTIONALLY a file containing the practicum information about the students,
#'     whether they passed the practicum and whether or not they have earned a
#'     bonus to be added to the exam grade.
