1.0 Introduction
1.1 Project Context
The Lyceum of the Philippines University Cavite is one of the fastest growing educational
institutions in the province. On 2008 Lyceum of the Philippines University open the doors to
Caviteos. The Lyceum of the Philippines University Cavite is known to be the First and only resort
campus in the Philippines is one of the four main campuses that brought a grand total enrolment
approximately of 25,000 students, and about 10,000 whom are enrolled in various hospitality courses.
Lyceum of the Philippines University Cavite is headed by the oldest son of Senator Laurel, Atty.
Roberto P. Laurel. The international high school in Lyceum of the Philippines Cavite was constructed
Lyceum of the University Manilas high school department.
An online grading system is one of the best ways of communicating with the students regarding
with the grade inquiries. Teachers from different schools all over the world found out after using online
grading systems that they could be able to easily track the students grade performance, prior to that
they also found out that they could be able to easily and quickly update the students grade in a much
less time that they thought as possible. The parents of the students are also enjoying the use of the
online grading system because they can track their childs performance in school and it also helps
them to get involved of their childs schooling. Online grading system also keeps the students aware
of their grades. Another great thing about the online grading systems are that it can help create report
cards, assignment reports, class grade list, attendance report and many more.

1.2 Purpose and Description
The purpose of the system is to provide the user with a friendly user-interface that would allow
the teachers to easily make, encode, updating the grades of the students in a very accurate, efficient,
secure, flexible and reliable way. The system will be very user friendly to students even to those who
are not literately good in terms of using a computer. All the information that will be put into the system
will be stored in a database that could be retrieved when needed. The online grading system would
also replace the current grading system being used. The grades can be access by the students
anywhere as long as the internet connection is live.
1.3 Objective
The objective of the system is to provide the user with a friendly user-interface that would allow
the teachers to easily make, encode, updating the grades of the students in a very accurate, efficient,
secure, flexible and reliable way. The system would be assisting the teachers in computing, updating,
and tracking the student grade performance, allowing the student or their parents to view the grades
online. Information such as grades, schedule, class lists, will be stored in a database that could be
retrieved when it is needed by the user. This will replace the existing grading system being used to
provide teachers as well as the students a very conducive manner by removing burden task for the
teachers like the class listings and any form or similar activities that would requiring much time and
efforts.
The secretary of the High-school department will also play a major role in the system. The
secretary would be providing the teachers their user accounts, their schedules, their class lists, their
-

assigned grades, setting the percentage of the grade. Also the secretary will be giving the information
of the assigned section of the student, adding account for students. The system will be online,
anywhere theres an internet connection the grading system will be accessed by the users it can also
be accessed on any hand-held mobile devices that can access internet. The students will be able to
view their grades online even when theyre at the malls as long as internet connection is present.
1.4 Scope and Limitations
In our present time where fast and accurate information is needed by most of the institutions,
online grading systems is proved to be one of the solutions in giving fast and accurate results. The
online grading system is developed to encode, edit, update, to secure the grades, and to track the
students grade performance.
The secretary will be providing user accounts to the teachers and students. The secretary will
be providing the schedules to the teachers as well as the assigned subjects for each teacher, the
secretary would be also providing the class list, class section, class, setting the criteria of percentages
for grades, providing the user accounts for teachers and students, editing the password of the teacher.
The teacher would be encoding, updating, changing of password for the students. The students can
only do on the system is to view their grade.
This projects main purpose is to help the teacher in providing accurate and fast grade
reporting, making the inquiry of grade accessible anywhere.

2.0 Review of the related literature.
2.1 Related Literature
Computer Programming Language
1.
PHPis a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web
development and can be embedded into HTML. If you are new to PHP and want to get some idea of
how it works, try the introductory tutorial. After that, check out the online manual.( http://php.net/)
2.
HyperTextMarkup Language(HTML) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other
information that can be displayed in a web browser.
HTML is written in the form of HTML elements consisting of tagsenclosed in angle
brackets (like ), within the web page content. HTML tags most commonly come in pairs
like and , although some tags, known as empty elements, are unpaired, for
example . The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag(they are also
called opening tag sand closing tags). In between these tags web designers can add text,
tags, comments and other types of text-based content.
The purpose of a web browser is to read HTML documents and compose them into visible or audible
web pages. The browser does not display the HTML tags, but uses the tags to interpret the content of
the page.

HTML elements form the building blocks of all websites. HTML allows images and objects to be
embedded and can be used to create interactive forms. It provides a means to create structured
documents by denoting structural semantics for text such as headings, paragraphs, lists, links, quotes
and other items. It can embed scripts written in languages such as JavaScript which affect the
behaviour of HTML web pages.
Web browsers can also refer to Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to define the appearance and layout of
text and other material. The W3C, maintainer of both the HTML and the CSS standards, encourages
the use of CSS over explicit presentational HTML mark-up. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML )
3.
JavaScript (JS) is an interpreted computer programming language. It was originally implemented as
part of web browsers so that client-side scripts may interact with the user, control the browser,
communicate asynchronously and alter the document content that is displayed.
JavaScript is a prototype-based scripting language that is dynamic, weakly typed and has first-class
functions. It uses syntax influenced by the language C. JavaScript copies many names and naming
conventions from Java, but the two languages are otherwise unrelated and have very different
semantics. The key design principles within JavaScript are taken from the Self and Scheme
programming languages. It is a multi-paradigm language, supporting object-oriented, imperative, and
functional programming styles.
JavaScript's use in applications outside of web pages for example in PDF documents, site-specific
browsers, and desktop widgetsis also significant. Newer and faster JavaScript VMs and frameworks
built upon them (notably Node.js) have also increased the popularity of JavaScript for server-side web
applications.
JavaScript was formalized in the ECMA Script language standard and is primarily used in the form of

client-side JavaScript (as part of a web browser). This enables programmatic access to computational
objects within a host environment.
Computer Software

MySQL ("My Sequel") is the world's most used open source relational database management system
(RDBMS) as of 2008 that runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases.
It is named after co-founder Michael Widenius daughter, My. The SQL phrase stands for Structured
Query Language.
The MySQL development project has made its source code available under the terms of the GNU
General Public License, as well as under a variety of proprietary agreements. MySQL was owned and
sponsored by a single for-profit firm, the Swedish company MySQL AB, now owned by Oracle
Corporation.
MySQL is a popular choice of database for use in web applications, and is a central component of the
widely used LAMP open source web application software stack (and other 'AMP' stacks). LAMP is an
acronym for "Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl/PHP/Python." Free-software-open source projects that
require a full-featured database management system often use MySQL.
For commercial use, several paid editions are available, and offer additional functionality. Applications
which use MySQL databases include: TYPO3, Joomla, WordPress, phpBB, MyBB, Drupal and other
software. MySQL is also used in many high-profile, large-scale World Wide Web products, including
Wikipedia, Google(though not for searches), Facebook,Twitter,Flickr,Nokia.com, and YouTube.(

Adobe Photoshopis a graphics editing program developed and published by Adobe Systems.
Adobe's 2003 "Creative Suite" rebranding led to Adobe Photoshop 8's renaming to Adobe Photoshop
CS. Thus, Adobe Photoshop CS6 is the 13th major release of Adobe Photoshop. The CS rebranding
also resulted in Adobe offering numerous software packages containing multiple Adobe programs for a
reduced price. Adobe Photoshop is released in two editions: Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Photoshop
Extended, with the Extended having extra 3D image creation, motion graphics editing, and advanced
image analysis features.[5] Adobe Photoshop Extended is included in all of Adobe's Creative Suite
offerings except Design Standard, which includes the Adobe Photoshop edition.
Alongside Photoshop and Photoshop Extended, Adobe also publishes Photoshop Elements and
Photoshop Light room, collectively called "The Adobe Photoshop Family". In 2008, Adobe released
Adobe Photoshop Express, a free web-based image editing tool to edit photos directly on blogs and
social networking sites; in 2011 a version was released for the Android operating system and the iOS
operating system. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Photoshop)

API and STL which ensures a higher execution speed and smaller program size. By optimizing as
many routines as possible without losing user friendliness, Notepad++ is trying to reduce the world
carbon dioxide emissions. When using less CPU power, the PC can throttle down and reduce power
consumption, resulting in a greener environment. (http://notepad-plus-plus.org/)
2.2 Related Systems
1. Ateneo de Davao University. A lot of students, and parents, have been requesting this feature
before so that grades and account balance can be inquired online. Thanks to the Ateneo
Webteam that they have fabricated this system that could make use of the finance and registrar
records to integrate it with the existing web site. To access the Ateneo myAccount feature
(http://www.addu.edu.ph), click on the Quick links drop down menu at the right panel of the Ateneo
Homepage. It's so sad that they did not make it evident on the site's navigation. A lot of students
are still not aware of this. For first time users who have not changed their password use your 5-
didgit Student ID for the student ID field and the long set of numbers (and letter) under your ID's
barcode as your password
2. Online Grading System Mean no more Changing D's to B's. Parents and students in growing
number of washington area schools can track fluctuations in a grade-point average from the
nearest computer in real time, a ritual that can track become as addictive as watching political
polls or a stock-market index. The proliferation of online grading systems has transformed
relations among teachers, parents and students and changed the rhythm of the school year.
Internet based programs including SchoolMAX and Edulink are punching midterm progress
reports into obsolescence. Prospective failure is no longer a bombshell dropped in a parent-
teacher conference. A bad grade on a test can't be concealed by discarding the evidence. A

student can log on at school, or a parent at work, to see the immediate impact of a missed
assignment on the cumulative grade or to calculate what score on the next quiz might raise an
89.5 to a 90. Report cards hold little surprise. Half of the time, I know what grade my daughter got
on something before she does. said Susan Young, mother of an eight-grader at Montgomery
Village Middle School in Montgomery Country
3. High mark for MIT's new online grading system. As the end of the semester approaches,
participants in the MIT Online Grading pilot will find the process of submitting final grades less
stressful. The new online grading system replaces a predominantly paper-based process with a
more flexible and streamlined process.
4. Online Grading Systems I am always fascinated by the different uses of computers in schools
these days. Online grading systems are a perfect example of how technology can help parents
and students stay connected with teachers, grades, and class assignments. My two daughters
attend different schools, and although each institution utilizes their online systems uniquely, both
are useful to me as a parent. It wasn't always clear to me how this technology would be beneficial,
but now I see the pros and cons of what will likely become the standard in the academic world.
Arielle's school posts every grade to every assignment, making it easy to periodically check that
she is keeping up with her school work. When she started middle school, this was more of an
issue. Now Arielle appears to be on "auto pilot" and tracking of her progress in terms of numerical
grades is less of a concern. However, when procrastination rears its' ugly head, a quick view of
her individualized online calendar allows us the much needed framework to help her prioritize and
organize.
Colette's school does not post any individual grades, but her teachers submit periodic "progress
notes" throughout the year, approximately once every nine weeks. This brief summary includes a
-
7/29/2019 New modified docs.docx
11/27
Lyceum of the Philippines University High-school On-line Grading System 11
numerical grade to reflect her current course "average," but more importantly, it describes how she
is doing in terms of effort, organization, and class participation. Where the online system at
Colette's school proves most helpful to our family, is the detailed weekly calendar of in-class
assignments and homework, as well as upcoming quiz' and tests. (Almost) Every Sunday night,
Colette goes online and transfers each class' assignment sheet onto what we affectionately call
"The Weekly Grid," a Microsoft Word document we have created that is easy to read and follow
throughout the week. Since this is Colette's first year juggling 8 classes, this is a work in progress.
Sometimes I assist, and I admit, sometimes I am doing the work on my own if we have left this
task to the last minute and I want Colette to get to sleep. You know that procrastination is genetic!
Online grading systems may allow immediate access to grades, and often have user friendly
features to send email directly to teachers and receive quick feedback on student progress.
Teachers can upload their PowerPoint presentations to the site and sometimes allow kids to print
off missed class assignments and homework sheets. The drawbacks that I have noticed are my
being less likely to arrange face to face meetings with teachers and my lack of knowledge to all
the options available online. While I still don't believe that I am completely up to speed on this
technology, I am glad to have invested the time to learn as much as I have, so that I can continue
to be an informed parent.
5. Ateneo Launches 'ExSite' First it was the Students Grade Viewing System (SGVS) where
students can easily view their grades online; now, the Ateneo Web Team had already made the
ExSite Community Portal available for students. It can be found at http://exsite.adnu.edu.ph.
ExSite is Ateneo Communitys website which displays university announcements, members
information, memoranda, events, and other important matters. In this site, students can instantly view
their grades, subject offerings, account status and view if they still have back accounts.
Registration
One must register first to have an account in ExSite. Pertinent information like the students ID
-
7/29/2019 New modified docs.docx
12/27
Lyceum of the Philippines University High-school On-line Grading System 12
number, name, birth date, and the email address and password (to be used to login to the portal) must
be provided.
After successfully signing up, the student must check his/her email account for the verification email
sent by the system. Once verified and activated, the student can now login the ExSite and utilize the
services offered by the system.
Note, however, that this system is still in beta phase, and the grades and account features are still to
be improved.
The pros
Before, the ExSite was available only to the University employees. Recently it has been upgraded to
cater both the employees and the students. A similar system for students has been in place for a few
years now, the online grade viewing system, the SGVS.
The advantage of this system for students is that it integrates features and functions of the University
Registrar and the Treasurers Office through an online system that can be accessed by any device
that has an internet connection.
Another advantage is on the subject offerings section it is categorized by department so it is easier to
find a specific subject than scanning through the ones posted on bulletin boards. Furthermore, it is
made convenient for students that theyre just one click away from viewing their grades, subject
offerings and account status.
The system can be accessed online so it is both easier and more convenient for the Ateneo
community.
Disadvantages
Going online nowadays poses risks for websites and business as hackers grow ever fiercer. This
poses risk for this kind of system the University has. Not to mention that when too many users connect
on the web simultaneously, one or more may receive errors.
Updating and synchronizing may also create problems with this system. During the first day of the
-
7/29/2019 New modified docs.docx
13/27
Lyceum of the Philippines University High-school On-line Grading System 13
Second Semester enrolment, the Subject Offerings section went down during the first few hours of
the enrolment; thus, this posed problems for students who preferred to view the offered subjects
online.
Though this system is still in beta or testing phase, more features may be added in the future and
problems that the system faced during its first days of implementation may be fixed and improved over
time.
