The purpose of this system wish to reduce the workload of teachers by
eliminating the need for manual computation and recording of each student
grade.
The common problems encountered in manual recording are computations
error, manual file-handling, and redundancy.

 General Problem
How to create a Computerized Grading System for KeyWay
International School.
4
Statement of the Problem
 Specific Problem
-To create a module that will display the student's record.
-To promote automation awareness by reducing (if not eliminating)
manual tasks.
- To avoid miscomputation of student's grades.
- To create a module that will automatically compute the student's
grade.

Statement of the
Objectives
5
 General Objectives
• To create a module that will record the student's name, grade level
and section.
• To create a module that will record the student’s grade for
assignment, CA test, attendance, and exams.
• To create a module that will compute the student's grade based on
inputted data.
• To create a module that will secure and maintain the integrity of data.

Significance of
the Study
A computerized grading system will provide a marked improvement in the
way teachers record and compute the grades of there students.The system
will be a great help to the following:
6
Teachers
• Teachers would be able to record and compute the grades of their students faster
there by lessening their workload and providing them with added time to attend to
other functions.This in turn would improve their efficiency as teachers.
School Administrators
• SchoolAdministrators no longer have to re-compute the grades of each student to
check on their accuracy. Reports such as grading sheets and class records can be
submitted on time.
Students
• Students can now look forward to better lessons since their teachers would have added
time to prepare for them their lesson plans.

Scope and Limitation of the
System
• Can view the students records
• Can compute the students grades
• The system is password protected
7
Scope:
Limitation:
• The system cannot be viewed online.
• The system has no password recovery.
• The System Administrator {Exam Master} is the only one in-control
of the entire system.

ANALYSIS
PHASE
9
Current System
Analysis
Teachers write down the names of the students in their class records for every
subject and section he or she is handling and enters the rating of the students
for every grade component.The teachers manually compute the grade of the
students using a calculator and submit their class records to the principal for
checking.This type of system is very tedious and takes along time. Manually
calculating, checking and re-computing the grades of students are very
difficult and are very prone to human errors.

Problem in the Current
Existing System
With our research and interview with the staff of the KeyWay International
School,We found out these problems on their manual system :
 Redundancy
If a teacher is teaching three subjects with the same section, then he or she
has to write the names of the students three times, one for every subject
handled. Time spent in calculating and checking grades
Grades are recorded and computed manually by teachers,The principal has to
check each grade to make sure that no errors are committed in the computation.
If errors are found, it goes back to the teacher concern to make the necessary
changes.
 Accuracy of information
More often, teachers rush through deadlines in the submission of grades and
because of this, the accuracy of the grades are affected.The principal still has to
double check each grade to ensure its accuracy.

The Proposed System Analysis
The Proposed System that we developed for Key Way International School will
be efficient in terms of time consuming, space and lessen the costs from their
previous data base.
Our proposed system has a security feature of which the admin and the
teachers are the users by using the log-in form, typing the username and
password.
In general, our proposed system uses Microsoft office 2013 for our database and
Microsoft Excel andVBA as the programming language for our developed
system.
12
The proposed system is simple, interactive and has a very user-
friendly interface such that even those with little or no knowledge
about working with computers can easily operate it.

Process Specification
The proposed system is composed of three main modules, namely the
registration module where student information are entered, the subject
subject module, where the teacher enters the rating of the student for each
each grade component, and the grade computation module, where the grade
of the student is calculated based on the inputted ratings for each grade
component.
13
• The process begins with the entry of student information (module 1].This is
where student data, such as student name, address, parent name, contact
numbers, etc., are entered and stored in a student information database.
• Using the data from the student information database, the teacher chooses a
subject and enters the rating of the student in each grade component (module
2).The grades are stored in the subject's database.
• The grades stored in the subject’s database are then retrieved and used in
computing for the grade of the student (module 3).

FEASIBILITY
ANALYSIS
Here the feasibility analysis is the primary tool for recommending
whether to proceed to the next phase of the system development or to
discontinue the project.
14
This is measure of how well the proposed system solves the problem, and takes
advantage of the opportunities identified during scope definition and how it
satisfies the requirement identified in the analysis phase
• Whether the project can be done?
• Whether the final system will benefits its intended users and organization
• What are the alternative among which solution will be chosen.
The feasibility study should provide management with
enough information to decide:
1. OPERATIONAL
FEASIBILITY

2. TECHNICAL
FEASIBILITY
15
This is where the expertise of the system analyst is beneficial, since using their
own experience and their contact with the clients will be able to answer the
question of the technical feasibility.These questions are:
• Is the project feasible within the limits of current technology?
• Does the technology exist at all?
• Is the manpower-Programmers, testers & debuggers available?
• Software and hardware required
• Are the current technical resources sufficient for the new system?
• Can the technology be easily applied to current problem?
• Does the technology have the capacity to handle the solution?
• And so on.

Resource Requirements
• Central Processing Unit
Pentium. Dual Core, or higher processor.The higher the processor, the faster is the
processing time.
At least 512MB RAM {random access memory].
Hard Disk
USB port. CD or DVD Drive for file backup
• Input Devices
Mouse — used for selecting menu options
Keyboard — used for entering information.
• Output Devices
Monitor - a device where information is displayed for the user
16
Software Requirements The following are used for the
development of the system:
• Operating System : MS Windows XP orWindows 7
• Application Software : MS Office (Word, Access, Excel),Visual Basic 2010.

3.ECONOMIC
FEASIBILITYThis could also be referred to as cost/benefit analysis. In economic analysis
the procedure is to determine the benefits and savings that are expected
from the proposed system and compare them with the cost. If benefit
outweigh cost, then the decision is made to design and implement the
system.
17
Possible Questions raised in this phase are:
• Is the system cost effective?
• Do benefits outweigh cost?
• Estimated cost of hardware
• Estimated cost of the software development
• What are the savings that will result from the system?
• And so on.

4.SCHEDULE
FEASIBILITY
We may have the technology, but that doesn’t mean we have the skills
required to properly apply that technology to hit the time given to
develop the system .
So the schedule feasibility here referred to as the time planning which
involve every activity [time, date and the name of the individual who
will perform these activities ]from the beginning to the end.
18
These schedules are:
• Work load matrix :This matrix explain the members are grouped to a
specific task.
• Work Breakdown Structure: Structure of every activity from planning
to final work.
• Gannt Chart: Also explain the full duration from initiation to

together and tested as a complete system.The system is tested to
ensure that interface between modules work and with the expected
volume of data and that the system does what the user requires.
46

System Maintenance Phase
Inevitably, the system will need maintenance. Maintenance
operation takes place after the system has been installed.
47
Periodic maintenance of the system will be performed to address
problems that might arise during post implementation period. Contact
numbers will be provided to Pet International School that they can use
in case of problems arising from the use of the system.
