My Gantt Chart
Gantt Chart-shows the overall timeline for the project. As seen above most of my time went into planning, i even began designing whilst i was still planning. The whole project took about 2.5-3 weeks to complete.
Turning Points
A great tutorial that i came across during this project, which was a big help in creating my markbook is shown in the linke below.

Difficulties
So far during this project, i had a difficult time trying to remember how to use a macro. I solved this by asking the teacher. Another problem that i faced was the slowness of the computer, which limits the time i have in class to complete the project.

Task 2: Individual Project
To begin the project, I have been researching different markbook systems and the different features they have to offer.
These include:
*Ability to grade students
*Scale scores
*Print graphs of student progress
*Easy calculation of complex student assessment tasks through simple selection of all common statistical functions.
*statistically accurate ways of combining, weighting and transforming student test and assignment marks quickly and easily
*scaling options such as respecifying the mean and standard deviation of a test, scaling to a new maximum mark, moderating a set of tests based on a common test, multilinear mapping and assigning of Alphabetical Grades (based on user defined cutoffs)
*include detailed manual

Accuracy Of Data and Information on Facebook
The information and materials on Facebook, including personal information, images etc are submitted by the individual themselves. The question of is it accurate is unknown.
Eg: the simplest form of inaccurate data is having a friend from school publicize they are a 71 year old woman looking for a man. The inaccuracy of their age is obvious because you personally know them, but the main concern is when you accept someone you don’t know, and their information is inaccurate which falsify who they really are.
Below is a link to an experiment created by an individual to prove how easily someone can falsify who they are.
