The document discusses the digitization of vocal performance feedback to improve the jury process by automating score calculations and providing immediate access to feedback for students. It highlights research indicating that timely and appropriate feedback, especially in electronic form, is preferred by students for its descriptiveness and legibility. The document also outlines the design and implementation concerns of the database aimed at enhancing user experience for both students and teachers.

4. Automate calculation of Final Scores Maximize time allotted for jurors to provide meaningful feedback Provide immediate feedback Keep track of Teacher Scores and Lab Scores Give students access to feedback from previous semesters Solution

5. Concerns Implementation Students Teachers User Management Uses of the database

6. What the Research Says Feedback is better if it is appropriate and timely. (Poulos 2008) Electronic feedback is faster. (Denton 2008) Students prefer receiving electronic feedback because it is more descriptive and legible. (Denton 2001)
