INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
2
Introduction
3
The purpose of this system wish to reduce the workload of teachers by eliminating the need for manual computation and recording of each student grade.
The common problems encountered in manual recording are computations error, manual file-handling, and redundancy.
General ProblemHow to create a Computerized Grading System for Key Way International School.
4
Statement of the Problem
Specific Problem-To create a module that will display the student's record.
- To promote automation awareness by reducing (if not eliminating) manual tasks.
- To avoid miscomputation of student's grades.
- To create a module that will automatically compute the student's grade.
Statement of the Objectives
5
General Objectives
• To create a module that will record the student's name, grade level and section.
• To create a module that will record the student’s grade for assignment, CA test, attendance, and exams.
• To create a module that will compute the student's grade based on inputted data.
• To create a module that will secure and maintain the integrity of data.
Significance of the Study A computerized grading system will provide a marked improvement in the way teachers record and compute the grades of there students. The system will be a great help to the following:
6
Teachers
• Teachers would be able to record and compute the grades of their students faster there by lessening their workload and providing them with added time to attend to other functions. This in turn would improve their efficiency as teachers.
School Administrators
• School Administrators no longer have to re-compute the grades of each student to check on their accuracy. Reports such as grading sheets and class records can be submitted on time.
Students
• Students can now look forward to better lessons since their teachers would have added time to prepare for them their lesson plans.
Scope and Limitation of the System
• Can view the students records
• Can compute the students grades
• The system is password protected
7
Scope:
Limitation:• The system cannot be viewed online.
• The system has no password recovery.
• The System Administrator {Exam Master} is the only one in-control of the entire system.

ANALYSIS PHASE
9
Current System AnalysisTeachers write down the names of the students in their class records for every subject and section he or she is handling and enters the rating of the students for every grade component. The teachers manually compute the grade of the students using a calculator and submit their class records to the principal for checking. This type of system is very tedious and takes along time. Manually calculating, checking and re-computing the grades of students are very difficult and are very prone to human errors.
10
EXAMPLEOFTHEAS ISSYSTEM
Problem in the Current Existing System With our research and interview with the staff of the Key Way International School, We found out these problems on their manual system :
Redundancy
If a teacher is teaching three subjects with the same section, then he or she has to write the names of the students three times, one for every subject handled.
Time spent in calculating and checking grades
Grades are recorded and computed manually by teachers, The principal has to check each grade to make sure that no errors are committed in the computation. If errors are found, it goes back to the teacher concern to make the necessary changes.
Accuracy of information
More often, teachers rush through deadlines in the submission of grades and because of this, the accuracy of the grades are affected. The principal still has to double check each grade to ensure its accuracy.
The Proposed System AnalysisThe Proposed System that we developed for Key Way International School will be efficient in terms of time consuming, space and lessen the costs from their previous data base.
Our proposed system has a security feature of which the admin and the teachers are the users by using the log-in form, typing the username and password.
In general, our proposed system uses Microsoft office 2013 for our database and Microsoft Excel and VBA as the programming language for our developed system.
12
The proposed system is simple, interactive and has a very user- friendly interface such that even those with little or no knowledge about working with computers can easily operate it.
Process SpecificationThe proposed system is composed of three main modules, namely the registration module where student information are entered, the subject module, where the teacher enters the rating of the student for each grade component, and the grade computation module, where the grade of the student is calculated based on the inputted ratings for each grade component.
13
• The process begins with the entry of student information (module 1]. This is where student data, such as student name, address, parent name, contact numbers, etc., are entered and stored in a student information database.
• Using the data from the student information database, the teacher chooses a subject and enters the rating of the student in each grade component (module 2). The grades are stored in the subject's database.
• The grades stored in the subject’s database are then retrieved and used in computing for the grade of the student (module 3).
FEASIBILITY ANALYSISHere the feasibility analysis is the primary tool for recommending whether to proceed to the next phase of the system development or to discontinue the project.
14
This is measure of how well the proposed system solves the problem, and takes advantage of the opportunities identified during scope definition and how it satisfies the requirement identified in the analysis phase
• Whether the project can be done?
• Whether the final system will benefits its intended users and organization
• What are the alternative among which solution will be chosen.
The feasibility study should provide management with enough information to decide:
1. OPERATIONAL FEASIBILITY
2. TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY
15
This is where the expertise of the system analyst is beneficial, since using their own experience and their contact with the clients will be able to answer the question of the technical feasibility.
These questions are:• Is the project feasible within the limits of current technology?
• Does the technology exist at all?
• Is the manpower-Programmers, testers & debuggers available?
• Software and hardware required
• Are the current technical resources sufficient for the new system?
• Can the technology be easily applied to current problem?
• Does the technology have the capacity to handle the solution?
• And so on.
Resource Requirements• Central Processing Unit
Pentium. Dual Core, or higher processor. The higher the processor, the faster is the processing time.
At least 512MB RAM {random access memory].
Hard Disk
USB port. CD or DVD Drive for file backup
• Input DevicesMouse — used for selecting menu options
Keyboard — used for entering information.
• Output DevicesMonitor - a device where information is displayed for the user
16
Software Requirements The following are used for the development of the system:
• Operating System : MS Windows XP or Windows 7
• Application Software : MS Office (Word, Access, Excel), Visual Basic 2010.
3.ECONOMIC FEASIBILITYThis could also be referred to as cost/benefit analysis. In economic analysis the procedure is to determine the benefits and savings that are expected from the proposed system and compare them with the cost. If benefit outweigh cost, then the decision is made to design and implement the system.
17
Possible Questions raised in this phase are:• Is the system cost effective?
• Do benefits outweigh cost?
• Estimated cost of hardware
• Estimated cost of the software development
• What are the savings that will result from the system?
• And so on.
4.SCHEDULE FEASIBILITYWe may have the technology, but that doesn’t mean we have the skills required to properly apply that technology to hit the time given to develop the system .
So the schedule feasibility here referred to as the time planning which involve every activity [time, date and the name of the individual who will perform these activities ]from the beginning to the end.
18
These schedules are:• Work load matrix : This matrix explain the members are grouped to a specific task.
• Work Breakdown Structure: Structure of every activity from planning to final work.
• Gannt Chart: Also explain the full duration from initiation to documentation.
• And so on
