Computer Work - CALA.

The document describes a CALA (Competency and Skills Assessment) project for a Form 4 Computer Science class to design a grading system for calculating examination marks. The project has two parts: designing algorithms and a flowchart to grade marks (Part A), and converting the flowchart into a VB.net program to display grades and test it using sample data (Part B). It includes the flowchart, sample algorithms, and interface layout for the grading program. A questionnaire is also provided to collect teacher feedback on calculating marks.
