Project Abstract

Abstract
The computerized processing of students' results and grading criteria is a crucial aspect of modern educational systems. This research project aims to explore the implementation of automated systems for processing and managing student results in educational institutions. The study investigates the benefits and challenges associated with transitioning from manual grading methods to computerized systems. The research will focus on the development and utilization of software applications that can efficiently process, store, and analyze students' results. By implementing computerized processing of results, educational institutions can streamline grading processes, reduce errors, and provide more timely feedback to students. Additionally, automated systems can facilitate the generation of comprehensive reports and analytics to help educators assess student performance and identify areas of improvement. The project will also examine the security measures necessary to protect student data and ensure the integrity of the grading system. Data encryption, access controls, and regular system audits will be essential components of the proposed computerized processing system. By addressing these security concerns, educational institutions can maintain the confidentiality and accuracy of student results. Furthermore, the research will investigate the impact of computerized grading on teachers' workload and job satisfaction. By automating routine grading tasks, educators can focus more on providing personalized feedback and support to students. The study will assess teachers' perceptions of the effectiveness and efficiency of computerized grading systems and identify any training needs or challenges they may encounter during the transition. Overall, this research project aims to provide valuable insights into the implementation of computerized processing of students' results and grading criteria in educational settings. By examining the benefits, challenges, and security considerations associated with automated grading systems, this study seeks to contribute to the ongoing efforts to enhance the quality and efficiency of educational assessment processes. The findings of this research may inform policy decisions and best practices for integrating technology in educational institutions to improve student learning outcomes.

Project 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
