A GradeBook demo based on NasaCow UDTs and ideas
#1
Hi QB64 coders

in another thread a member of our community has the idea to develop (reinventing the wheel) a database program for Gradebook for teacher user.
in this thread,that is readable following this link Gradebook for teacher, you can find the original declaration of UDTs used in this demonstration.

While at #24 post there are some my observations and modifications to original UDT to get one database file with all informations ordered and stored.

Quote:I have loosen the structure of data that you have planned.... I see a StudentType, a MasterAssignment and a SlaveAssignment.
In the first and in the last structure you use an ID to identify and  correlate the data. In MasterAssignment there is no ID.
You like to have all the data into one file.

I think that to keep in one file all the data you need to use an ID also for the third structure of data.
In this manner you can access to the searched data using the ID as index:
here an example

this is the file
________________________________________________________________________________________________
|long digit| records of StudentType|long digit|records of MasterAssignment|long digit|records of SlaveAssignment|CRC|
|_______ |___________________|_______ |_______________________ |_______|_______________________|___ |

 |               |                                 |                |                                     |                |                                    |
number of   |_________DATA         number of   |_________DATA             number of    |_________DATA            |__Security data
Student records                         Master Assignment                               Slave Assignment
                                                      records                                          records

while in RAM you load the data into 3 array with which you can work.


the final result of these first steps is to get three different array of data to link for getting informations about of students in a class, Assignments done in that class and results of assignment for each student that has done that assignment.
From these basic data we can get other school results' data  like Average Grade , Final Grade, Dropped students, Added students
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the final goal of NasaCow is this Gradebook showed at these links Gradebook for teacherGradebook for teacher: assignmentGradebook for teacher: student view
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So let's to start : 
step1 it creates UDTs, it populates the array of the 3 UDTs and it shows in output the data stored. It create one file for storing the data following the above scheme of data storing.

Here the code for step1

Just got around seeing this...

It is nice to see that the file system I devised wtih feedback from the community does indeed work. I am hoping to put V4 out soon. I have been busy rewriting it from the ground up. The code got too messy, too much off-the-cuff programming. Cutting out all files, besides the executable, but 2 (and really, every computer has arial.ttf, so I could just pass the one font file but I will include both as *good practice*.) This verison will be much better documented and easier to follow the code.

I just want to get back to where I was, getting ready for the gradebook part. Lot more $Include files though: Qprint, Circles, Base64, and who knows what else I will need later.

Thanks for sharing this, put a smile on my face, and a warmth in my heart, or that may just be the Friday beer talking  Big Grin

A sneak peek:

Hi Nasacow

briefing about your ideas, file database following your directives, interface for users.

fine to see that you like this development of your UDT and database in one file.
I found necessary to add UID fields into UDT structure for AssignmentMaster (UID)   and AssignmentSlave (UIDm, UIDs).

following the demo image of PowerTeacher GradeBook (PowerTeacher GradeBook) to catch the kind of data to manage  with this kind of application, I advice these fields must be added to your original UDT set of data: for grouping students in Class there is HouseColor (string * 8) in Student UDT and Acolor (unsigned Byte) in AssignmentMaster. This way need a good planification creating a code to store both string and unsigned byte.
Thinking about a class with max 24 students and a group of minimum 4 students (max 6 groups in a class), doubling the amount of data to manage with the purpuse to let future enlargment of stack of data to manage (max 48 students  with max 12 groups in a class).
... for my level of knowledge about storing in one byte different information using math and bitdata I got an headache and no practical solution... so I prefer to modify Housecolor into a  string and the same for Acolor so both student UDT and MasterAssignment UDT have the same field that shows which are the class and the group color.

The student UDT need add these fields:  Gender, Grade Scale, Grade Level, Student email, Student phone
The MasterAssignment UDT need add these fields: Weight score, Extra Score, Total score = extra Score + (Possible Score * Weight Score), date of assignment, description, IncludeInFinalGrade.
Moreover we need another  UDT for class with these fields: Course name, Term, Start date, End date, Course number,  Section Number, Periods/Days, Grade Scale, Room, Custom display, Description.

The interface for user can be developed into TUI or GUI. We need a window, some listbox, panels, button menu .

Well, after these developments , we must thinking about Reports.

for now it works as the previous because I need a random generator routine for filling the database or a file with these new items.
Moreover to give a more professional output I need  listbox, panels, button menu, while windows exists already.

I am glad I saw this! You have some great ideas that I overlooked when planning the Master assignment file. I have added your ideas into the UDT. Since we are both looking at it, I am wondering if there is anything you can think?

Code: (Select All)
'Assignments for all students, populates the top of the gradebook
TYPE MasterAssignmentType
    ARName AS STRING * 20 'Assignment report name
    ADName AS STRING * 10 'Assignment display name (short name)
    AType AS UNSIGNED BYTE 'Assignment Type (Completeion, formative, summative, etc.)
    ACat AS STRING * 20 'Assignment Category (subject, unit, etc)
    AColor AS UNSIGNED BYTE 'Color coding assignment headers and for grouping for reports
    ACode AS UNSIGNED BYTE 'Reserved
    APts AS UNSIGNED INTEGER 'Total points allowed
    AWght AS UNSIGNED INTEGER 'For weighted assignments/100 = 100%
    Month AS INTEGER
    Day AS INTEGER
    Year AS INTEGER
    AID AS INTEGER64 'Unique assignment ID
    ADetails AS STRING * 4096 'Space to write instructions for an assignment sheet to print.
END TYPE

I am looking forward to seeing how you will manage your user interface!
