DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPUTERIZED GRADE EVALUATION SYSTEM

DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPUTERIZED GRADE EVALUATION SYSTEM

​​​​​​​BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The logistical problems associated with distributing, collecting, grading, and returning assignments and the difficulties in ensuring fairness and consistency in grading tends to increase non-linearly with the number of students enrolled in an academic program.Nowadays, we are living in an information age dependent upon digital Information retrieved from the internet. This Digital information is electronically interpreted,the results of the computer processed information. (Curtis et al., 2008) Different type of jobs relies mostly on the internet to getinformation, using it, managing it, and relaying information to others. Computers enable the efficient processing and storage of information.Computerized-assisted grading system will go a long way in guiding the grading process and compilation of final results among systems of any institution in Nigeria. Ekpenyong report that using computer-assisted grading systems during bulk students grading with large amount of students reduced the grading time by half compared to traditional hand grading without the help of the system (Ekpenyong, 2008). In addition to the “reduced time in grading assignments,” Czaplewski notes that computer-assisted grading system can lead to increased “validity and accuracy of grading – making grading more evenhanded,” increased feedback for students, and increased student satisfaction.This research work presents an online computerized system to assist in grading of students to improve the fairness, consistency, and efficiency of grading.

Many teachers feel that the time they take in recording and computing for the grades of their students is time that could be better spent elsewhere, like preparing lessons, researching or meeting with their students. With the advent of computer technology, more and more schools are taking advantage of a variety of grading systems available both off-line and online that can help save time on administrative tasks and give teachers more time to attend to other important functions. However, a greater majority, especially small schools, government schools, and schools in remote areas, still utilize the manual method of recording and computing for the grades of the students.

This work provides a brief overview of the course, its deliverables, and the breakdown of the grades. It discusses the design requirements, features, and implementation of the online grading system. Finally, the current limitations and future development directions of the online grading system are discussed.

​​​​​​​STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

The general statement of problem is to create a Computerized Grading Evaluation System for University of Ibadan, to solve the following problems – To design and develop a comprehensive module that will display the student’s grade records easily, To implement grade automation awareness among schools by reducing (if not eliminating) manual tasks of grade keeping and finally To create a system that will automatically compute the student’s grade of university of Ibadan.

​​​​​​​AIMS AND OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The main objective of the study is to develop a Computerized Grading Evaluation System for University of Ibadan. With the following objectives –

1. To create design and develop a computerized grade evaluation system for recording of student’s name, grade level and section.
2. To create a system that will be secured and maintain the integrity of data, which can be easily retrieved.
