Essay Marking Database
This project involves the creation of an essay marking database in Microsoft Excel or some other comparable and accessible software program. The purpose of this database is to facilitate providing comments for students written work. The database will be populated with common essay comments (ie. you need to proofread carefully, or you need to provide a deeper level of analysis with regards to your thesis) so that the instructor only needs to type a corresponding keystroke for the desired comments to be populated in a Microsoft Word file. This database will also need to be updatable so that instructors can add comments which will be useful for their marking in the future.
