ABSTRACT
We, Enerson Nuay, Edlyn Dones, Daisy Lyn Segundo, Jenyfer Caete
undergraduate student of Trent Information First Technical Career Institute, San Juan
Taytay, Rizal, batch 2012-2013, taking up Bachelor of Science in Computer Science,
introducing our thesis proposal, entitled, Computerized Grading System for Manuel
I. Santos Memorial National High School.
Computerized Grading System for Manuel I. Santos Memorial National High
School was developed to lessen the burden and paper works of teachers. The school
is located at Taytay Rizal. There are certain problems that the school encounters,
the school are still using a manual process in terms of computing the grades, which
is time consuming. There is a slow pacing of services that result to parents waiting
to know the grades of their child. Because the school teachers cannot track or not
yet done computing the grades. Generations of reports are done manually. The
proponent objectives are: to develop software that is able to save time, minimize
workload of personnel involved. To develop and design software that is able to
generate an accurate report. This project examines the issues related to Automated
Grading System that implements a local based application of grading system. This
would create a system of reliable and accurate to compute grade in all different
subjects. A comparatively fast access of information of grades: generates reports
and information of the input of teachers. This will be designed with the intent to
generate report. It helps teachers to minimize time consumed in computing grades
of the students using manual method.
The proponent used the Descriptive, Developmental, Library, Creative and
Internet Research methods to help them to gather information remarkably needed
and important in the development of the said study.
Different data gathering instruments are also used. These survey and interview,
DFD, ERD, HIPO and Program Flowchart are used as analytical tools. The
programming Language to be used is Visual Basic 6.0
INTRODUCTION
Today, most people don't need to know how a computer works. Most people can
simply turn on a computer or a mobile phone and point at some little graphical
object on the display, click a button or swipe a finger or two, and the computer does
something. An example would be to get weather information from the net and
display it. How to interact with a computer program is all the average person needs
to know.
But, since you are going to learn how to write computer programs, you need to
know a little bit about how a computer works. Your job will be to instruct the
computer to do things. Basically, writing software (computer programs) is
describing how to do something. In its simplest form, it is a lot like writing down the
steps it takes to do something - a process, a procedure. The lists of instructions that
you will write are computer programs, and the stuff that these instructions
manipulate are different types of objects, e.g., numbers, words, graphics, etc...
So, writing a computer program can be like composing music, like designing a
house, like creating lots of stuff. It has been argued that in its current state it is an
art, not engineering.
Grading is one of the most important activities a faculty member does. Many
problems in teaching arise because of grading issues.
We can say that this kind of innovation assist each and every one of us uses
to experience a well-situated life. Thus, we students also need to use different
gadgets, devices or modern technologies in order to have an easy going life at
school. A manual computation in a school wont give us a quick computation. Grade
is the primary need in every school all over the world.
To develop a system that will replace the current Grading System in the state
which is highly manual.
Specific objectives:
to identify the existing system
to enumerate the problems that encounters
This will provide a user-friendly application that will help the school to make
their work easy. The proposed system has a login and password it will limit
unauthorized access to the system.
The subject of concentration includes the study of its manual system, the
procedures and process that are done in their office which provide all the
information about the grades of the student and how will the proposed system will
serve as the key to the development and advancement of the school.
The study does not cover expert system, but are surely capable of providing
information for grading system. The proposed system will also serves as an
information system because all the information needed by the student about their
grades can be access and view using this system.

Educational Significance:
The software will serve as a guide to improve knowledge of the school faculty. To
learn and develop their professional attitudes towards work. The system will serves
as a guiding tool for the member of the faculty. This will help them to lessen their
work and make it easy to compute grades of every student. It will also give them
knowledge about computer in terms of operating system.
Technological Significance:
Economical Significance:
One of the primary concerns of this system is the economic relevance. The
proposed software aims to help the school teachers to minimize their operation cost
by consumption decrease in office supplies. Using the proposed software, the
teachers may also save time, effort and many in writing, generating and keeping
records. It may improve the operation flow as it lessen the workload of the teachers
because the staff may now focus on teaching and making their lesson plan without
worrying for computing the grades of the student.
CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
This chapter presents a survey of related literature and studies conducted that
will help the researchers in undertaking the study. Here, the researchers relates to
the previous studies that are discussed further to give the author more idea in
pursuing the study. The thorough review of literature is required to provide deeper
insights in formulating conceptual framework, selection and application of methods
of research with the end in view of formulating generalization or principles, which
the researchers could contribute to the fund of knowledge.
This review includes some articles, books, magazines and internet in order to
improve the proposed software and be more proficient in its design, other
unpublished thesis also helped to provide proof that this study is originally and its
discussion of fact were also based on recent studies in creating more sources of
related information.
Related Literature
A System approach is necessary to increase productivity and maintain
consistency and quality since information is an important commodity for business
and establishment, a computerized storage is very important within the
organization. According to Caridad, Melody (Computerized Billing System for Jet
Delivery Services),
In order for us to maintain consistency and quality, we must make use of the
new technology that is not widely used by different countries, which is computer. As
we see, information technology, the application of computer and related
technologies have accompanied information age to generation and communication
of information.
Information technology has enabled forms to automate their processing of data
and confirmation, so that most processing is performed without the direct
involvement of human. Hicke, James stated in his book entitled Information System
in Business that,
The Computer age has become the information age. Business people who
successfully apply computers are not primarily interested in computer. They are not
concerned with their need for information and how to build a computer based
information system. To meets those needs. A businessperson who does not have
basic understanding of the tools and techniques for determining his/her information
needs and how to transform this need into computer software will never apply
computer successfully. Business people are interested in how to put the computers
to work, how to build and use Information System.
Interests in information system has increased during recent years not only in the
world of business but also in all areas were resources are managed. Computer
based information system are in most businesses today and computers are found in
many houses. In fact, many firms even small ones businesses are applying
computer based information system to gain advantages over their competitors. An
information system provides information for making decision.
In the book entitled Computer Programming in Basic with Business
Application, George Ten Chou cited that,
Electronic Computers are originally developed to provide a computational tool
to help perform, time consuming, tedious task and calculations are important tools
in problem solving and decision making. As they become increasingly abundant and
readily available, the ability to use a compiler properly also becomes a vital skill in
our society. This in turn requires familiarization with computer system and the
acknowledgement in programming.
Many people today have some understanding of computers purpose. A
computer helps people balance the work in terms of computing grades. If you want
to begin programming you have probably used a computer for some time.
Nevertheless, as a future programmer perhaps you should review some
fundamental computing concepts before mastering the ins and outs of a new
computer language.
Larry and Nancy Long n the book entitled Introduction to Computer and
Information System, stated that;
We talk to computer within a framework of a particular Programming
Language. There are many programming language, most of which have highly
structured sets of rules. The selection of programming language depends on who is
involved. And the nature of the conversation. Each programming language has an
instructions set with several instructions in each of the following instructions
classification input-output, computations, control, assignment and formal
instructions.
Program Development is the important part after defining the computer and
programming language to use. It includes the actual programming, debugging,
testing, and implementation.
According to Awad, Elias (Business Data Processing), Until the nineteenth
century people found business calculation a very complex job because they have to
be done. Writing materials were very scarce therefore expensive to use for
ordinary purpose. He also stated that,
Many professional such as doctors, lawyers and engineers use computers in
their field of work. Computers are coming into classroom of not only colleges but
grade schools and high schools as well. Thousands of people have their computers
in their home.
It is generally recognized, however, that the introduction of the computer in the
20th century, followed by the invention of the integrated circuit during the 1960s,
radically changed the process, although its impact on the media was not
immediately apparent. It now became possible to combine thousands, later millions,
of individual transistors on a single chip. Computers became smaller and more
powerful. They became personal too, as well as institutional, with memory and
storage increasing and display becoming crisper. They were thought of, like people,
in terms of generations, with the distance between generations much smaller.
RELATED STUDIES
It is the true that todays digital technology can transfer your production
process specially on business purposes, methods delaying transaction and time
consuming digital process makes the workers easy to deliberate, understand a
productive work and give them additional knowledge. The company does not need
additional office supplies and digital processing and give accurate data. An editor in
Philippine Daily Inquirer (September 2001) stated that, The rate increase of the
processing power of computer hardware and the continuing sophistication of
software is staggering. Computers that would full wings of universities and that
function as little more that adding machines have been replaced by technology that
fits on desk in most office.
CHAPTER III
METHODOLOGY
In this chapter, the proponent will discuss the methods of research that was
applied in the study. The ways of this study was facilitated with the aid of variety of
ways through which research is being completed. To make the software become
successful, the proponent must use some methodology for efficient arrangement.
Proper methodology can help the proponent make the entire development of the
proposed software.
Descriptive Research
This method is used to analyzed, interpret and report the present condition of
the existing system. This method of research will be applied by the researcher to
gather data and use them as basis for justification of the study.
According to Mateo, Tiffany D., Accounting System for D&R General
Merchandising, Incorporated. The following should be done in conducting the
preliminary investigation:
* Obtain a letter of notification and authority.
* Conduct interview to obtain the necessary information.
* Review the systems document to the extent necessary to understand the
operations of the current system.
* Correlate the information obtained
* The interview is an important fact finding activity and should be approached as
logically as computer programming.
DEVELOPMENTAL RESEARCH
The proponents will conduct developmental method. The focus is on finding a
more suitable instrument or process that has been available. The proponent is using
modern programming application. The proponent will make use of some analytical
tools that the proponents thinks will help them in developing the proposed system.
EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH
A procedure involving the control of condition for the purpose of studying the
relative effects of various treatments applied.
This method will need all the information about the success of the proposed
topic. The basic purpose of experimental is to discover the influence of one or more
factors upon a condition, group or situation, purpose of which is to discover what
will be. Through this method the researcher can also gather enough knowledge,
idea, techniques, approached that will help a lot to come up with the important
factors upon a condition. This method is fact finding with adequate interpretation.
LIBRARY RESEARCH
This refers to any research that needs the facilities of the library. This method
provides the researcher a great help to a wide range of information about the study.
It was used to gather data or information from different literature and studies that
are related to the study.
CREATIVE RESEARCH
This method is used in the design and development of the software. Under
this method the researcher has the opportunity to apply the study of computer
studies particularly the principles of software engineering and system analysis and
design.
INTERNET RESEARCH
The researcher used this method for the collection of the world wide needed
information. World Wide Web is a library of resources available to computer users
through the Internet. It enables users to view a wide variety of information,
including magazine archives, public and college library resources, and current world
and business news. World Wide Web (WWW) resources are organized so that user
can easily move from one resource to another. The WWW links exist across the
Internet, forming a large -scale, distributed multimedia knowledge base through
related words, phrases, and images. Smaller-scale implementations are present on
the enterprise Internets used by businesses.
METHODS TO BE USED IN DATA GATHERING
The following are the techniques used in developing the research, in
acquiring as much as possible as reliable information needed for more scientific
investigation of the software to be implemented. The proponents will use different
data gathering instrument necessary for the completion of the research.
Interview
Interview is a major technique in gathering data or information. It is defined
as a purposeful face to face relationship between two persons, one to whom called
the interviewer who ask questions to gather information and the other is called the
interviewee or respondent who supplies the information ask for. The proponents will
use this method in order to collect ideas from some concerned people involve in this
particular study. It helped the proponents how the existing system operates and
how they tacked in their office everyday. By doing this, the proponents found out
and clarifies what is deficient and what should be done to improve the present
system. It will be used as a means of evaluating the proposed system. This will
guide the researcher in generating information that can help in the development of
the system. The acquired knowledge will be helpful in designing and making the
system efficient.
Observation
Observation is a means of gathering information for research may be defined
as perceiving data through the senses. The proponents will need to observe the
ways and he movement of the existing system. It is where the proponents will visit
and look personally the actual system being performed by the personnel involved.
Survey
It is a means of finding out information by posing questions of individuals or
organizations. Telephone or personal interview may carry out survey. Most surveys
only involve a sample of respondents. The proponents will use this method to be
able to know if the Target School is willing to purchase the proposed system.
HIPO (Hierarchical Input Process Output). It is analytical tools that present the
analytical order of precedence of the branches of the program in a hierarchical form
provides a map that allows the reader to locate a program module within the main
system. This is a skeletal structure of the system.
DFD (Data Flow Diagram). The Data flow diagram is the logical model of a system.
The model does not depend on hardware, software and data structure or file
organization. The diagram shows graphical pictures of logical system. It tends to be
easily used for even non-technical users would understand it and thus serves as an
excellent communication tools. Because this diagram, the researcher will be guided
on how to deal with data on hand.
FLOWCHART. It is a sequential diagram employed in many fields to show the stepby-step procedures used in performing a task, as in manufacturing, or solving a
problem, as in an algorithm. Flowcharts are commonly used in the designing of
PROGRAM DESIGN
Program design is the definition of modules and intermodular interfaces so
that each module of the system design corresponds to a new set of modules
containing program specification. This is where most of the bulk of the study was
concentrated. The proponents will be facing the task of creating a program that will
aid the user in using the proposed software. It comes with a simple design enough
to do the task. Because effectiveness and user-friendliness, the user or
beneficiaries of this is accepted to learn everything of its feature by simply pressing
a key in a keyboard and clicking a mouse.
Program Implementation
Modern programming language provides many features that help the
programmer to have a quality source code and feature more design. It also involves
design specifically into source code and debugging documentation and testing of
the source code. The systems will utilize this technology to make grades easy.
Programming Language. Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 is the fastest and easiest way to
create applications for Windows. It provides you with a complete set of tools to
simplify rapid application development. Visual Basics programming language is
fairly simple and uses common English words and phrase for the most part. Visual
Basic is more then a language it is a complete programming environment, and one
of the firsts that is still greatly in use today.
Testing
In a system development process, testing is the most critical part. Software
testing would mainly lead to debugging or error checking. It would start in
detecting the errors and finally to some action that would regenerate it into on error
free system.
