Hello Everybody.. I'm looking for some grading software, on an IBM PC or Mac platform (preferably not mainframe) that is flexible enough to allow weighting of assignments for individual students (i.e. excused absenses from exams, or homeworks), that would identify outliers (i.e. single exams that were much greater or lower than the average), and allow commenting and other features on the individual student level (I like to use this for recommendations.) I'm considering writing such software (If I can't find a suitable package that already exists..) If you know of a great grading program that already exists, or have some suggestions for me when I start writing one (what features you would like, or any special grading policies you have) I'd really appreciate the input. Thank you very much. Sincerely, David B. Pinkus Department of Social and Decision Sciences Carnegie Mellon University dp22+@andrew.cmu.edu
