(A CASE STUDY OF KENSARO WIWA POLYTECHNIC BORI)
ABSTRACT
The end-of-course grades assigned by lecturers are intended to convey the level of achievement of each student in the class. These grades are used to make a multitude of decisions. Unless a sufficiently accurate and efficient method is used for the grading, the grades are apt to convey misinformation and lead the decision-maker astray. In itself, the processing of results is found to be rather tedious, especially when carried out manually, and when the number of students is large. It is time-consuming and error prone. The process, however, becomes a lot easier and much more accurate when carried out with a computer running a suitable software application. To find a sufficiently fast and accurate method of carrying out this processing is a problem that is both challenging and interesting. In this work, a computer software application was developed to facilitate the automated processing of the results. The software was developed in Visual Basic programming language in the form of a database. The developed software performed well and produced expected results on completion. With it, it was possible to compute Grade Point Average and Cumulative Grade Point Average for each student (or multiple students) based on examination and continuous assessment scores entered.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
Student’s result is one of the most important bases for measurement of a student’s academic performance in school; student’s result is also used to measure a student’s performance in different courses offered by the student.
Processing a result manually can pose challenges as several mistakes can be made, any mistake made in the process can lead to a very big problem which may reduce the ability to grade a student from his/her school result.
An adequate processing system is needed to carry out the result processing so that the aim for which results are being processed can be achieved. Obviously this will positively affect the release of results and improve the grading system to its standard.
1.2 Statement of Problem
The problems which the manual method of processing result faced include:
Loss of result when files are been carried from on table to another for processing.
Computation of results takes longer time.
Must student’s results are being omitted.
Wrong calculations during computation.
1.3 Aim and Objectives of the Study
The primary aim of the study is to produce a system that will aid result processing for all departments in Kensaro Wiwa Polytechnic and also to protect this system from unauthorized users from having access to the result of students which can be achieved by introducing password. The following objectives will help in achieving the above aim:
1. Design a database that will store student’s results.
2. Create a database that will store the password and username of students.
3. Get the details of all the courses taken in the department and their credit units
1.4 Significance of the Study
Research carried out in the school shows that results are still being processed manually. This leads to various problems which include:
Insecurity of result.
Duplication of results.
Loss of result when files are been carried from one table to the other.
Wrong calculations during computation.
Omission of results
Delay in computation
This project will achieve the following:
Increase in deficiency.
Easy detection and correction of errors.
Reduce pressure of work on examination officers.
Makes computation less labour intensive.
1.5 Scope of the Study
The scope of this work is bounded by the Computer Science Department of Kensaro Wiwa Polytechnic Bori, but can be used as a guide to develop broader project of the like of Result Processing System for Kensaro Wiwa Polytechnic Exams/Record Department.
1.6 Definition of Terms
RESULT: Gotten/derived from something that has already being done
PROCESSING: A method or way of manufacturing something.
SYSTEM: A way of organizing something according to certain ideas, principles etc. it is also an arrangement of many parts that work together.
INFORMATION: Information is that which informs, i.e. an answer to a question, as well as that from which knowledge and data can be derived.
COMPUTATION: An act of calculating or estimating.
RESEARCH: A careful study of something, especially to discover new facts or information about it.
