Test Score limitation of 100 is too specific #1428

Open nus-se-script opened 3 days ago

nus-se-script commented 3 days ago

For the score field for grade, having the inability to set the score limit is very limiting, considering how the score has a limit of 2dp, imagine scoring 66.6666 percent of a 30 mark test called "quiz", the user would have no choice but to add 66.66 into the score field. This could cause mark inaccuracy especially so if the test has a high weightage in the overall outcome. Maybe allowing for more decimal places or allowing user to set the mark limit for test would allow for more accurate calculation of overall marks

Team's Response

Thank you for your feedback regarding the inability to set a higher decimal precision for the score field. While we understand your concern about potential rounding inaccuracies, this feature is currently out of scope as the limitation to 2 decimal places is a deliberate design choice to balance precision and usability.

Implementing a customizable precision or allowing an arbitrary number of decimal places would require significant development effort to parse, which is better allocated to higher-priority features. The current implementation provides a reasonable balance, and we may consider enhancing this in future iterations if necessary.

Thank you for your understanding.
