THE GRADE CALCULATOR
As a teacher facing large classes I have been forced to give
multiple choice examinations. While we all know the limitations
of this type of examination, one of their difficulties is the
need to calculate the individual weightings, scores, of each
individual question and what the corresponding grade will be.
Well, fret no more! The Grade Calculator will solve this
issue. You can either print the calculations on your printer or
report them to the monitor.
The Grade Calculator needs to know several pieces of
information. In addition to the name of the examination, it asks
how many points the examination is worth, which normally will be
100 points, but this could vary. It also needs to know how many
questions are on the examination in order to calculate the
relative worth of each question. Another question is "Do You
Want to Round Your Results?" If you do want to round your
answers, a cautionary message will appear stating that this will
introduce rounding errors which could be serious.
In addition to all of this information, the calculator wants
to know how many grades you want to calculate. This will
instruct the program as to how many grade combinations in
ascending order it should report.
Finally, the user is asked whether or not to print the
results. If you answer affirmatively, the results will be
printed on the printer after asking whether or not the printer is
actually turned on and ready. Otherwise, the results will simply
appear on the screen.
I hope you find this little program to be useful. I would
like to remind you that this is shareware, and that I am a
teacher like you who needs some incentive to keep this stuff
coming. If you find The Grade Calculator worthwhile and use it,
than a token payment of fifteen dollars registers the program.
In addition, please share with me your thoughts and what other
programming needs you have.
Thank you.
