Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The project focuses on the development and implementation of a computerized system for processing students' results and grading criteria in an educational setting. The traditional manual process of grading students' assessments and managing results is time-consuming, error-prone, and lacks efficiency. The computerized system aims to address these challenges by automating the grading process and providing a more streamlined and accurate way to manage student data. The system will be designed to handle various types of assessments, including multiple-choice exams, essays, projects, and practical evaluations. It will allow teachers to input assessment criteria, assign weights to different components, and automatically calculate grades based on predefined rules. The system will also generate detailed reports on student performance, including grade summaries, individual feedback, and comparative analysis across different classes or subjects. In addition to grading, the system will incorporate features for managing student records, including personal information, enrollment status, and academic history. This will provide a comprehensive database for tracking student progress over time and generating reports for academic planning and decision-making. The system will also support data security and privacy measures to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of student information. The implementation of the computerized system is expected to improve the overall efficiency and accuracy of the grading process, reduce the administrative burden on teachers, and enhance the quality of academic assessment. By automating routine tasks and providing analytical tools for data interpretation, the system will enable educators to focus more on teaching and mentoring students rather than on manual paperwork. The project will involve collaboration with teachers, administrators, and IT professionals to design and customize the system according to the specific requirements of the educational institution. Training sessions will be conducted to familiarize users with the system interface and functionalities. Feedback will be collected from stakeholders to continuously improve the system and ensure its usability and effectiveness in the educational environment. Overall, the computerized processing of students' results and grading criteria project aims to revolutionize the way student assessments are conducted and managed. By leveraging technology to streamline processes and enhance data analysis, the system will contribute to a more efficient, transparent, and student-centered approach to academic evaluation.

Thesis Overview

INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The primary objective of any institution of leaning is teaching to be effective; it must be assessed over a period of time.
The results of the assessments which may be quizzes or test or term papers, laboratory work, exhibition or end of semester examination are expected to be published on time so that the students can know their performance.
Academic advisers use results of students of monitor then academic progress and this will guide them in advising them either to change departments or change their study pattern also parents need the results of their wards in order for them to know how well they are performing academically, this will enable them to advice their wards meaningfully in their performance.
In the event of transfer the receiving institution will want to know the institution, the importance of students’ results cannot be over emphases; hence the preparation of such result should be done in the best possible way.
In this time of computerization processing have been found to be at optimum advantage in the processing and storage of results.
This is due to numerous characteristics and advantage with regard to its reliability, versatility processing speed and capacity. Hence with the use of computer system, software can be developed to replace manual processing of result which has already witnesses a lot of computational errors during processing.
This research work therefore attempts to encourage assist and show how results can be processed using computer system in institutions of higher learning. A unique and informative result sheet format will be the product of this project for institutions of higher learning to adopt.

1.2 AIMS AND OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY.
The objective of the study is to provide a standard format for the computerization and processing of students results and how to process them for institution of higher learning (the university) to adopt, computer program necessary for production of such results will also carry a fascinating summary telling us the final grade with which the student leaves the institution.
AIMS: –
 To ensure accuracy during computation of results
 To avoid errors and cost effectiveness
 To help facilitates computation of results in institutions

1.3 SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
This research work used the department of computer science federal polytechnic nekede Owerri as a case study, method used in the computational process is based on the general and academic regulations of federal polytechnic nekede.
Pascal programming language is used to compute all necessary averages, sorting and grading of students results, the project therefore is limited to the usage of Pascal programming language.
Furthermore, although sample results were gotten form the department of computer science federal polytechnic nekede Owerri, the software can however be extended to other departments running a form of a year programme. This can be done with proper updating of the databases of the software to smooth the department using it.
Again it should be noted that this software is in time the federal polytechnic nekede general and academic regulations. It may not be applicable to other universities who may have their own grading system.

1.4 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
To bring about awareness that computers can be used to process results in universities instead of the manual processing for accurate calculation and speed in processing
