Compute Examination Mark  {SSTUD4-3}

This option is used to calculate an exam mark from different exam paper marks and may be run after all the examination paper marks for a subject have been entered. The questions asked are identical to those in respect of Examination Admission in {SSTUD4-2}. A report is produced indicating the number of records that were calculated.


The Restriction “SREC” under option {SMNT-5}, can control access to data in this option. This makes it possible to limit access to the updating of marks in respect of one person to one Faculty / Department and Campus only. Campus restriction is not mandatory.


The option may be repeated, in which case the previously calculated values will be overwritten.

The SOD = 'MC', 'SR' (Calculation programs to process cancelled marks and results), determines if cancelled subjects' exam marks and final marks & results will be computed. If the 'Alpha/Date Field' = 'Y' for SOD = 'MC', 'SR', the cancelled subject(s) will be included.  If the 'Alpha/Date Field' = 'N', the cancelled subject(s) will be ignored.

Processing
Rules
 
  The program will use each individual student’s registration year as the academic year to get the criteria for calculation
 
  When program is called from {SSTUDM-2} the system cycle that will be used is 'F'. The calculation can be done per Offering Type or ALL.  If ALL is selected the system cycle ‘F’ for all Offering Types must be open {SMNT-2}, else the program will report an error.
 

When program is called from here or from {SSTUD2-3}, {TASKS1-2} or {SSTUD2-3} the system cycle that will be used is 'E'. The calculation can be done per Offering Type or ALL.  If ALL is selected the system cycle ‘E’ for all Offering Types must be open {SMNT-2}, else the program will report an error.
 

The Exam Mark and the decimal (un-rounded) mark field {SSTUDM-1/2} will be updated. The user will then have the choice to use the rounded or un-rounded values when the final mark calculation is done. The Calculated Exam Mark will only be updated if the program is executed from this option.
 

Exam Paper Marks are multiplied by the paper weights and devided by 100 to get the Exam Mark
 
  Cancelled subject(s) will be included when 'Alpha/Date Field' = 'Y' for SOD = 'MC', 'SR' on {SMNT-12}.  If set to 'N', cancelled subject(s) will be ignored.
