CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
1.1 Introduction
In today’s modern standards, computers are being used everywhere, and ever since its invention, it has rapidly taken up a place in our lives. From fast food joints to big name companies and corporations, it’s a rarity when a computer is not used in some form or manner. This is also true in the academe, where computers are used widely not only as tools for teachers to educate their students, but also as a resource for students to expand their knowledge and to assist them in accomplishing their schoolwork. Computers are also widely used in systems that can be found in use in the academe, making trivial, menial tasks much more convenient and less resource intensive than it had been before. One such example of such as system is an enrollment system, wherein students can easily enroll for school without the hassle of going back and forth between places in order to accomplish the necessary forms. In line with this, a number of schools take advantage of this technology in order to provide convenience to not only their students, but also their teachers in the form of online grading systems, wherein the teachers can encode the grades of their students, and the students can view them through the use of the internet. However, not all schools make use of this, and for some, this can be an inconvenience for various reasons.
1.2 Background of the Study 1.2.1 The Existing System & Design
The current system being used in Southville International School and Colleges is a computerized grading system. In the existing system, professors can encode the grades of their students using a computer throughout the various terms in the semester (Namely: Preliminaries, Midterms, and Finals). At the end of the semester, the system then accordingly calculates the final grade of the student of that subject and compiles the grades of all the subjects the student is taking up that semester.
