The GradeKeeper from MikroLogix Do you teach or assist in teaching and have to maintain grades? Would you like to save some time in entering and changing grades, calculating averages, plotting class standings and so forth? The GradeKeeper is an interactive tool to maintain and display scores and their weighted averages for all of your classes. Adding and deleting scores and student names can be done in a key stroke or two. Changing grades for an individual or the entire class is easily accomplished. Weighted averages are alway visible, and bar graphs and statistics are also available for any scores column by issuing a single command. The grade book may be sorted on any column in either ascending or descending order. Printouts are produced with a single command and may include or exclude select columns. This allows posting listings on which the names are not included, but on which students may locate their own scores through a student ID number. A representative display: Row 1/4. Column 4/6. "Eng101" not modified Name | ID HW 1 Midterm Final | Average maximum | 50 100 100 | weight | 20 30 50 | =========================================================== Backus, John | #3428 45 > 88 < 84 | 86.40 Dijkstra, Edsger | #7342 48 85 92 | 90.70 Joy, Bill | #3426 32 72 | 34.40 Knuth, Donald | #0048 39 91 97 | 91.40 Your screen is a window into the grade book. Notice the cursor arrows (> <); these arrows indicate the "current cell" which lies at the intersection of a row and a column, and the contents of that location may be updated as desired. Simple commands such as pressing the arrow keys will move the current cell about the screen, and if you attempt to move beyond the edge of the screen, the window will shift to accommodate your actions. Values within existing cells (a student's score) may be set or changed as desired. The weighted averages are always up-to-date. You may add new students or columns as needed, limited only by the computer's memory.
