Result Computation for Tertiary Institution using Microsoft Excel (A Case Study of Bayelsa State College of Arts and Science, Elebele, Bayelsa State)

Abstract

A student’s result is the criteria for the measurement of the student’s capability in terms of academic work in the school. It is also used to measure a student’s capability in each subject offered by the student. Without an adequate result processing system, the aim for which results are produced may not be achieved, because any slight or minor of mistake made during the process might lead to a very big problem. This research is tailored towards the understanding and implementation of a computer based GPA and CGPA computation using spreadsheet application program like Microsoft Excel to handle all related calculations thereby enhancing the preparation and presentation of student grading system for effective student result preparation and to serve as quick guide to lecturers and examination officers. However, all concerned personnel that have the task of result computation, are encouraged to study with keen interest in that they can hand GPA/CGPA computations so as to avert wrong implementation of student scores calculations/computations in the future.
