The maximum for each component is specified and a form field allocated so the marker can enter the mark. This calculation is performed by a macro which is run by double-clicking on the labelled icon. Assignment Marking Section shows input fields for marks and deductions, the calculation icon, and the raw and final marks. As well as the standard information mentioned above, the Assignment Sheet includes an extensive amount of 'on-line' help including a step by step guide to assist the students in using the Assignment Sheet. A prominent note at the beginning of the Assignment Sheet makes access to hidden help information clear to the novice user.
Figure indicates hidden step by step instructions and other helpful information.
In the preceding section I described the components of the Assignment Sheet. In this section, I will describe the Assignment Sheet process, i.e. the steps that are taken to produce the Assignment Sheet by the teacher, complete the Assignment Sheet by the student, mark the Assignment Sheet by the marker and finally how the students check their mark and any annotations and comments made by the marker. The first step, of course, is the construction of the Assignment Sheet by the teacher. This involves entering the assignment details, the assignment problem statement and the requirements. If the teacher wishes to include further instructions or a skeleton solution within the embedded document, it can be done now.
