Title : A Proposed Online Grades Viewing System of the

College Department of the La Salette of Roxas
College, Inc.

Researchers : Jesther U. Gamboa

Degree : Bachelor of Science in Information Technology

School : La Salette of Roxas College, Inc.

Year : January 2018

Adviser : Mr. Richard Melvin F. Garcia

Objective
The Objective of this Capstone Project is to develop a web-based
system for the college department of the La Salette of Roxas College Inc. to
minimize the problems existing in the present system of the registrar’s
office in collecting, safekeeping and distributing the grades of students.
The system will also help its users:
1. To reduce the time and effort of the students and the registrar in
collecting. safekeeping and issuance of grades.

v
 2. To create a user-friendly grades distribution and inquiry,
information and news dissemination System.
To Improve communications to the school community using, inquiry
of system, announcement and news post in the website.
1.3.

Method of Research
This study was conducted at the La Salette of Roxas College Inc.,
College Department, with 153 respondents composed of the registrar and
teachers, staff, and students.

The project was designed using the Software Development Life Cycle,
specifically the Agile Model. The activities included Requirements
gathering, Design, Develop, Test, Deploy and Review.

In gathering the data and requirements for the system, the

researchers used interview, observation, library and online research
techniques, and for the review and software user acceptance survey was
used. Weighted mean was the statistical tool used by the researchers to
interpret and analyze the data. The performance of the website was
measured according to the six good qualities of software. Namely
Functionality, Efficiency, Usability, Reliability, Maintainability and
Portability.

Findings
After the gathered data was calculated, the researchers came out
with the following results and findings:
1. Functionality Criterion has a total mean of 4.46 equivalent to a
qualitative rating of Very Satisfactory.

vi
 2. Efficiency Criterion has a total mean of 4.35 equivalent to a
qualitative rating of Very Satisfactory.
3. Usability Criterion has a total mean of 4.60 equivalent to a
qualitative rating of Excellent.
4. Reliability Criterion has a total mean of 4.41 equivalent to a
qualitative rating of Very Satisfactory.
5. Maintainability Criterion has a total mean of 4.48 equivalent to a
qualitative rating of Very Satisfactory.
6. Portability Criterion has a total mean of 4.49 equivalent to
qualitative rating of Very Satisfactory.
7. The Overall Criteria has a total mean of 4.47 equivalent to a
qualitative rating of very satisfactory.

Conclusions
The following conclusions were drawn:
1. The website was able to provide useful reports like grades and its
remarks. It also provides useful information like announcements
and news about the school.
2. The website cannot only provide financial benefits but also non-
financial benefits like saving time and effort of the users.

Recommendations
Based on the conclusions, the following recommendations were drawn:
1. The Website should be implemented to a paid webhost to obtain full
capabilities of the system.
2. The Websites should be used as the portal of the school to promote
the school to larger audiences.
