Example of linked mark book assessment areas

In the following example, three mark book assessment areas have been created against the German A class S/GEEA1:

• Assignment 1 with a weighting factor of 0.2 (to represent 20% of the total)
• Assignment 2 with a weighting factor of 0.4 (to represent 40% of the total)
• Assignment 3 with a weighting factor of 0.4 (to represent 40% of the total).

These are created as mark book assessment areas because they do not need to be displayed on the student reports. See Maintaining mark book assessment areas from Student Results Maintenance.

These have been linked to the Assignment subject assessment area, using the Summarise to Seq field on each assignment. See Linking mark book assessment areas to a subject assessment area.

Mr Diamond has entered the details for each of the assignments on the Mark Book tab of Student Results Maintenance. See Student Results Maintenance - Mark Book tab.

Mr Diamond then clicks on the All Students tab of Student Results Maintenance. Synergetic calculates and summarises the Assignment assessment area, based on the results entered for the three Mark Book assessment areas. See Student Results Maintenance - All Students tab.

For example, let us review Amanda Adamski's results. Amanda got:

• 16 out of 20 for Assignment 1
• 35 out of 40 for Assignment 2
• 25 out of 40 for Assignment 3.

Synergetic calculated an Assignment value of 79. The following table reviews the arithmetic rules that Synergetic uses.
