Evaluating a Student's Results

When a student completes Course Parts on an e-Business site, Aptify automatically updates the corresponding Class Registrations record for that student to track his or her progress. As described in How Students Access On-line Content, Aptify creates a record on the Part Status tab of a student's Class Registration record each time the student accesses a new Course Part for the class.


Also, for Course Parts that include a testing element, Aptify automatically rolls up the individual scores at the Part Status level to the Class Registrations record's Score and Percent Score fields. The Score field is the sum of the individual Part Status scores and the Percent Score is the average of the individual Part Status scores.

For example, if a class includes two quizzes (one with a score of 80 and one with a score of 90), Aptify automatically calculates a Score of 170 and a Percent Score of 85 at the Class Registrations record, as illustrated below.



To process a completed Class Registration, a course administrator (or an instructor) can follow steps similar to what is described below:

1. Student completes an online class (that is, the student completes the course parts).
2. Either periodically or at the end of the class period, the course administrator reviews the Class Registrations record to determine which ones are complete.
3. For graded classes, the course administrator reviews the student's score on individual Part Status records and determines the student's overall score for the class.
4. The course administrator enters the student's total score on the Class Registrations record's General tab, enters a Date Completed, and modifies the Status accordingly (such as to Passed or Failed, depending upon the student's score in relation to the course's passing score).
   
    
5. The course administrator saves and closes the Class Registrations record.
