Gradesheet is the student's utility to keep track of his
grades. It can handle both weighted grades and raw scores.
Weighted grades are when a teacher says "50 percent of you grade is
tests, 20 percent is homework, etc...". You use raw scores when
your teach just sums the point values of all assignments.
When you first run the program you see the main menu. The top
of the window will probably be blank. Just hit the corresponding
letter across from the function you want to do. If it is your
first time using gradesheet, you probably want press 'E' for Enter
new gradesheet. The questions it asks you from there are self-
explanatory. Then, when you're back at the main menu, you'll see
the title of your gradesheet with the corresponding number across
from it to the left. To view, edit, or print that gradesheet type
the number corresponding to it.
Once you are in the gradesheet, you can move around with the
cursor keys. To change an entry, put the cursor on the entry and
hit return. Then type what you want the box to say and hit return
again. It should now read what you just typed in it. Your average
is constantly updated. To change how the grade is weighted, move
the cursor all the way over to the left. Then us the up and down
arrows to place the cursor on the desired weight. Then hit return
to accept that weight.
If you want do delete a grade, put the cursor on the grade and
hit the delete key.
To print the gradesheet simply type 'P'.
To save the gradesheet, and return to the main menu, press the
ESC key.
To add a new grade, move to the bottom of the screen and hit
RETURN.
If there isn't at least one grade for every weight, the
average will be inaccurate. In other words, if you have weights of
TESTS, QUIZZES, and HOMEWORK, and you only have grades as TESTS and
QUIZZES, the average will be off. You need one in every category
for the weight to be accurate.
This program beats the pants of Lotus 1-2-3 and other
spreadsheets for many reasons. The most obvious is price. This
costs $3.00 and most spreadsheets run between $100 and $200. Also
this is much faster. In Lotus for example, you have run lotus, hit
'/', File, Retrieve, and then find your file. It can take 20
seconds or more. Where as GRADESHEET is totally ready to go in
about 2 seconds.
