Mark and report/The problem today

Put the wrong denominator into Excel, and every card is wrong.

Theory carries seventy marks, practical thirty, and internal work has a weight of its own. The calculation lives in somebody’s private spreadsheet.

One wrong cell there is wrong on every report card the spreadsheet feeds.

Follow the school’s scheme, not a spreadsheet.

Mark and report/In the film

  • Theory, maximum70
  • Practical, maximum30
  • Subject mark, out of100
R-141Internal work can carry its own weight in the same way.

Mark and report/What EduBold changes

How a subject mark is built.

  1. Set up the scheme.

    Assessment types, each with its own maximum and weight, configured for the school.

  2. Enter the marks.

    Marks go in against each component.

  3. Combine by weight.

    Components combine into the subject mark by weight, calculated for the subject and each component separately.

  4. Grade by your boundaries.

    Marks turn into grades through boundaries the school maintains, with the rounding rule the school chooses.

What EduBold does here

  • Combines weighted components into the subject mark
  • Calculates percentages and pass status, overall and by subject
  • Turns marks into grades through boundaries the school maintains
  • Keeps the original when a report card is reissued

Mark and report/Questions

What a school asks about this.

Can we follow our board’s scheme?

The assessment scheme is configured, not built in, so it can follow the scheme your school uses.

Who decides whether 89.5 is an A or a B?

The school. Rounding is a setting, not a rule fixed in the software.

Can a report card be reissued?

Yes, and the original is kept. A reissued card never erases the first one.

Read what the film says

Theory is seventy. Practical is thirty. Internal work has its own weight. Put the wrong denominator into Excel and every report card is wrong. The calculation should follow the school’s assessment scheme, not somebody’s private spreadsheet. In EduBold, weighted assessments combine into the subject mark. Each component keeps its own maximum and weight, so the final result is calculated consistently. Theory seventy. Practical thirty. One result everyone can explain.
