Score Manager

Education represents one of the main pillars securing a nation’s prosperous future, which is why professors share a tremendous responsibility with students to enrich their knowledge and prepare them for eventual careers. One way of easing their burden is by adopting a digital way of grading students, which is where Score Manager comes into play.

Once installed, double-clicking the program’s automatically generated desktop shortcut will greet users to a layout reminiscent of Microsoft’s Office suite of apps, due to its straightforward collapsible ribbon command bar placed at the top for quick access to the most important features. In order to separate classes with ease, the app generates distinct database files with optional password protection for professors to easily transfer them from school computers to laptops for creating reports at home, when necessary.

Since group activities are vital for students, teachers can create as many teams as necessary, in order to encourage cooperation and let pupils develop their communication and socialization skills while working towards a common goal. When a certain individual answers a question correctly, the user has the ability to add the appropriate amount of points and specify the reason in great detail for archival purposes when calculating the final grade at the end of the activity.

While the main section showcases each student’s own score, selecting a team lets you preview their contribution in the form of a pie chart that compares the grades and provides users with a general idea regarding how active or performant a certain pupil is compared to the rest of the team members. Clicking on a student’s entry in the group list lets you inspect a timeline of their correct responses and corresponding score.

If you are a professor looking for a way to digitalize the grading system for your various classes’ group-based activities without resorting to expensive, subscription-based solutions, Score Manager may be the right tool for the job, given its accessible interface and exporting tools that make it easier for teachers to transfer database files between devices.
