Maintaining subject assessments

Subjects and subject assessments have a one-to-one relationship; there can only be one set of criteria for assessing a subject in each reporting period. Subject assessments contain subject assessment areas, which define how a subject is assessed.

Any class can use an assessment area and all students in that class can have results entered for their work throughout each reporting period.

To maintain:

subject assessments, use the navigation bars of Subject Assessment Area Maintenance
the assessment areas of a particular subject assessment, use the tabs of the Area bar of Subject Assessment Area Maintenance.
