"""
A Self Assessment module that allows students to write open-ended responses,
submit, then see a rubric and rate themselves. Persists student supplied
hints, answers, and assessment judgment (currently only correct/incorrect).

Definition file should have 4 blocks -- prompt, rubric, submitmessage, hintprompt,

attempts, which should be an integer that defaults to 1.
If it's > 1, the student will be able to re-submit after they see
the rubric.
max_score, which should be an integer that defaults to 1.
It defines the maximum number of points a student can get. Assumed to be integer scale
