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.
