Components and their weights
A subject’s final mark is built from weighted components. A new school starts with the standard Ghanaian split:
Weights are held in basis points and must total 10,000 — that is, exactly 100%. The system checks the set rather than trusting arithmetic, so a misconfigured scheme is refused rather than quietly producing marks that are all slightly wrong.
Change the split if your school weights differently — 40/60 is common. What you cannot do is leave it not adding up.
Creating assessments
Within a component, create the individual pieces of work: class tests, homework, projects, the end-of-term paper. Each carries its own maximum score, so a test out of 20 and a paper out of 100 sit together correctly.Entering marks
The gradebook is a grid built for speed: move with the keyboard, paste a column from a spreadsheet, and see percentages and grades calculate as you type. Half marks are supported — 7.5 is a valid score. A score cannot be negative, and cannot exceed the assessment’s maximum. Entering 85 on a test out of 20 is refused with a message saying so.Absent is not zero
An unentered mark is a third state again — nobody has recorded anything yet. The grid shows you which pupils are still missing marks, which is how a form master knows the class is not yet ready.Who enters what
Subject teachers enter marks for the subjects they teach. The form master sees the whole class across every subject, which is what lets them check the class is complete before marking it Ready.Who can do this
