Linking several subject assessment results to produce a single combined mark

Synergetic allows you to link more than one subject assessment to produce a combined grade. See Linking subject assessment areas using the Summarise to Area field.

It is also possible to link several combined grades together to produce another combined grade. This can be useful when determining a semester or course overall result.

To link combined assessments together:

1. Open the first combined assessment area. See Subject Assessment Maintenance - Area tab - Area sub-tab.
   The Area sub-tab of the Area tab of the Subject Assessment Maintenance window is displayed.
2. Clear the Show on Screen field.
   
   Note: This will now be an intermediate result, so it need not be displayed on the Student Results Maintenance window.
   
   
3. Enter the weighting factor that the assessment area has within the combined assessment area, in the Weighting Factor field.
4. Select the combined assessment area from the Summarise to Seq drop-down list.
   
   
   Note: If the subject assessment order is changed, the sequence number in this field is automatically adjusted so that the correct link remains.
   
   
5. Repeat steps 1 through 5 to link the remaining assessment areas.
   
   Note: If the Mark Out of field is zero, the combined assessment is assumed to be worth 100%. Change the values in the Mark Out of field if required. For example, if an assessment is worth 20% of the student's final mark, type 20 in the Mark Out of field.
