[Year 12 IPM] Dot plotting software

[Mark Scott]

Good to see all that Criterion based assessment nonsense thrown out the
window.

 

Grade them, percentage them and rank them.

 

Brendan Nelson would be proud, even though he is no longer in charge of
Education (they gave him Defense to play with and isn't that just a
little scary)

PS Bill, don't take this personally, I'm just having a whinge.

Hi Andrew,

 

Not sure if this helps...

 

I got sick of converting my marks from one mark to another for SACs etc
and finding what the grade was... so I wrote a simple Excel page which
converts any mark to another and gives the grade and percentage. It just
uses a VLookup function ... bit hard to explain.

 

You could convert each score individually but it is a bit time consuming
putting in individual numbers. So I do a whole batch at once. Grades can
be changed on the table.

 

I select my printing margin, print out the page and use it as my
conversion table for that set of marks.

 

As I said, use it if it helps,

 

Bill D

Does anyone know of any software that allows you to plot student's
scores and allocate grade boundaries?

 

Cheers
