Open abogadeer opened 6 years ago

abogadeer commented 6 years ago

Hi @francoisjacquet In gradebook graddes, we have the totals. Can you add the arithmetic mean and median to the list?

I can sponsor it

francoisjacquet commented 6 years ago

Hello @abogadeer

Thank you for willing to sponsor enhancements.

The total screens for the Gradebook Grades program already show total grade points, mean percent and letter grades (as per Grading Scale used).

Regarding the median percent and letter grades, an option to display / calculate median grades instead of mean grades could be added to the teacher's Gradebook Configuration program.

abogadeer commented 6 years ago

If you can add: 1- mean in absolute value not percent. If you can add it as option, it would be grate 2- Median in absolute and/or percent.

In my school, we need to calculate the homework, exams, research, lab and many others in absolute numbers. We need to write reports containing the final grades in absolute and in percentage.

Hello @abogadeer

Could you please give an example of absolute mean grade?

abogadeer commented 6 years ago

Hi @francoisjacquet I just mean using the number not in percentage.

I am sure you know it. I think I used strange words example: 7+5+6+2=20

Divide 20/4 = 5

I mean 5 instead of having 71.4%

Hello @abogadeer

Do you use letter grades at all?

In case not, you can setup a scale with number grades, amd then have it rightaway in the Gradebook.

Hi @francoisjacquet

I will explain my full situation 1- We use rosario for our school and we use letter grades when we issue reports to parents according to the a specific scale. 2- At the end of each semester, we need to provide the Ministry of Education with all the grades that the students have got. The actual grades not percentages not grade letters. The ministry's websystem accepts only the actual grades. From their side, they will give letter grades.

This is the situation I am in. I am open to any good solution.
