A student report comment generatorby (no login)As a teacher, it's my job to create report comments to explain the grade awarded to students across various subject areas. In essence you have: 1) Student grades 2) Sentences approved by a supervisor which you can apply to individual students which must be combined to form a paragraph about each subject area ...and no easy way to generate that paragraph! So I made a program (a simple database) which I can enter grades into. Then I made another program which interprets a simple script format and generates comment paragraphs. It sounds easy till you consider gender, etc. and avoidance of the overuse of pronouns vs the student's actual name. However, that program saved me approx. 5-6 hours of very tedious entry work and a furthermore 1-2 hours more when considering the lack of mistakes/typos present in the end result which would require revision. Sure, the program took a while to develop but it was fun to make and I can use it over and over again each semester. Granted, I did program it in QB64 but there's no reason the program wouldn't run in QBASIC except for the fact that it uses a custom WIDTH 140,50 text window! |
