- Product: VAR Grade
-
- Description:
- A full-featured program for recording, plotting, and analyzing
- grades and attendance.
-
- ----Class, Student, Task limits----
-
- VAR Grade accepts as many classes as your disk will hold (infinite). It
- accepts up to 16000 students per class, and up to 2000 assignments
- (tasks). In other words, there are no limits on how much data the
- program will accept.
-
- ----Grading methods----
-
- You can use about any grading method you desire, as you can define your
- own. This includes any grading system (up to 50 categories of grades,
- such as A, B, etc.), any grade cutoffs for these categories (you set your
- own), any grade value for these grade categories (you can set your own),
- and you can average, sum, weight, discard, use extra credit, number or
- letter grades, etc. In other words, there are few grading systems that
- aren't allowed in VAR Grade (unlike other grading programs, which usually
- have severe limits on what you can do).
-
- ----Grade entry methods----
-
- Grades can be entered in a spreadsheet style interface, with all students
- listed on the left and the assignments on the right, or by individual
- student, with all their grades listed on a screen. You must first define
- the assignments (tasks). Attendance works the same way.
-
- This *really* is the most flexible grading program you can find, and has
- no artificial limits.
