Student Information and Grading System Kiosk using Fingerprint Scanner
Introduction
At the present, technologies greatly changed our way of life. With technology, improvements, people are always looking for fast and easy way to match it with their fast step. Majority of people use computers for business, entertainment, and education. Teaching and learning has remained the primary activities in schools and universities. However, there are other important activities going on in such institutions like managing the student’s data and other managerial activities. In many countries, activities like these are handled through computerization. However, that is still far from the case in our country where most institutions are still using manual method. Baliuag University is one of those institutions that still using manual method of managing student’s data which is time consuming, demanding and are often prone to error. One example of the problem that may arise in manual method is during the distribution of class cards after the semester has ended. This traditional way causes hassle and inconvenience not only for the students but also to the professors and personnel. And it consumes a lot of time. Professors were also hassle by the students who go to the faculty room to inquire about their grades. The faculty had a hard time accommodating a large number of their students, resulting to long queue of students waiting for their turn to get their grades. The process of distribution of cards can be considered a problem itself. The students have to go back and forth in different department and offices to complete their class cards for the semester which is required for enrollment for the following semester. The solution to these shortcomings lies in efficient management of information system.
A student information system is a software application for education establishment to manage student data. This system may range from small scale to cover student’s records alone to enterprise-wide solutions. Most student information systems in use today
