- GRADESPACK 96
- -------------
- Are you a teacher who needs an administrative assistant for
- student marks and attendance tracking? Do your students require
- continuous evaluation? Does your system of evaluation require
- weighted averages of many tests? If your answer to ANY of these
- questions is Yes, and you have access to a MS-DOS computer or
- to a VAX computer then GRADESPACK 96 may be the gradeskeeping
- program for you.
-
- GRADESPACK is a well-prompted, error-tolerant, user-friendly
- program that can maintain records of names, identifiers, and marks.
- LIMITS: VAX: up to 25 classes of 350 names and 32 marks per name.
- MS-DOS: up to 16 classes of 135 names and 24 marks per name.
- Many editing and review features allow you to keep up-to-date
- lists of status and progress. Reports can be generated to produce
- paper documentation of current student status and ongoing progress.
- There is Full ON-SCREEN HELP and highlighting of menu selections.
- Menus are identical on MS-DOS and VAX/VMS and data files are
- fully compatible between systems.
-
- Class lists may be maintained manually or continually updated from
- the CIS (Registrar's official list) "throughout" the term. Student
- names or identifiers may be added, changed or dropped at any time.
- The class list may be kept alphabetical if desired. Marks may be
- added, changed, or deleted at any time. A comment field is
- available to label the type of test or assessment given. Data
- entry is checked so that no student can be given more than the
- maximum mark. You may choose to omit a specific mark/assessment
- evaluation for an individual (for reasons of permitted absence or
- granted exemption due to prior work or knowledge).
-
- Reports can be generated for sign-in lists, attendance grids, and
- reporting of current running averages. Marks can be weighted in
- different ways for different class groups. These weight factors
- are automatically saved for reference purposes and may be edited
- at any tine if necessary. Printouts can be obtained either
- sorted by name or by student identifier (for posting of current
- marks/grades without loss of confidentiality). Averages may be
- shown as letter grades (with the mark-->letter relationship user
- defined) as well as by percent.
