You can link any number of mark book assessment areas to a subject assessment area.
If required, you can define a different weighting for each mark book assessment. Synergetic automatically:
- uses the mark given to the student for each mark book assessment
- together with its weighting, to calculate the mark that is assigned to the subject assessment.
Subject assessment results can be displayed on a student report but mark book results cannot.
In the following example, there are three mark book assessment areas (Assignments 1, 2 and 3) being linked to the Assignments assessment area (which appear on the students reports).
To create and link your mark book assessment areas to the existing subject assessment area:
- Open the Mark Book sub-tab of the Area tab of the Student Results Maintenance window. See Student Results Maintenance - Mark Book tab (on page ).
- Click
.
The Staff Mark Book window is displayed.
- Click
to create a new mark book assessment. - Complete the Mark Book fields. See Maintaining mark book assessment areas from Student Results Maintenance (on page ).
- In the Weighting Factor field, type the weighting factor for the mark book.
Tip: Ensure that the relative weighting between them is consistent. In the following example, the weighting factors of 0.25, 0.25 and 0.5 add up to 1. - In the Transfer to Assessment Area Seq field, select the sequence number of the subject assessment that this mark book assessment is linked to.
- Repeat steps 3 through 6 to link more mark book assessment areas if required.
