As we do the system we experience how it is too complicated and delicate to compute all the grades. Our sincere observation made this project possible. Abstract CHAPTER I Introduction As of today, people are living in an information age dependent upon digital information. Digital information is electronic information that is the result of computer processing. Computers enable the efficient processing and storage of information. A grading system plays a key role in the management system of any school. But, such systems do not often relate expectations, outcome, and performance. As each student desires to achieve a good score for each assignment, exam, and project, the whole process adds heavy workload for teachers in order to make their evaluation fair, comprehensive, and accurate. From the teacher’s perspective, these are necessary to avoid disagreement from students and parents. A computerized grading system is a highly desirable addition to the educational tool-kit, particularly when it can provide less effort and more effective and timely outcome. The purpose of this study is to create a grading system using Visual Basic that will minimize the workload...
