INTRODUCTION:
The grade of a student is a scale which determines students who need more improvement and require more assistance which will help teachers in guiding them towards their development. It also shows where students excel most so they can be honed and encouraged to continue their good work, improve more, and aim higher. At the end, it will be the reference for the judgment of whether a student can step up to a higher level of learning or remain to be polished. From these reasons, it is clearly concluded how important it is to make sure that the grades of the
Students are accurately calculated and safely stored in a well-founded database.
Knowing grades especially at the end of the semester is the most awaited and most important part of individual student because it’s a way of measuring he’s/her performance whether he or she passes the subject or not. Unfortunately, the most common problem encountered by these students is the delay in releasing their grades. Of course, there are many factors affecting the delay of releasing their grades.
