Managing Subjects and Academic Assessments
Subjects in BlueBic are assigned to specific batches, allowing for localized grading and teacher assignment. This guide explains how to manage subject delivery and assessment workflows.
Setting Up Subjects
Subjects are typically created under the Academic > Subjects menu. Each subject must be linked to a Subject Base (the global definition) and a Batch.
- Is Elective?: Toggle this if the subject is optional for students.
- Max Weekly Classes: Set the frequency for time-table integration.
Assigning Subject Teachers
Subject teachers manage the scoresheet and assessments for their specific subject.
- On the Subject detail page, go to Assigned Staff.
- Click Add Teacher and choose the employee.
- You can assign multiple teachers to a single subject if necessary.
Managing Assessments
Each subject can have multiple assessment components (e.g., CA 1, CA 2, Exams).
- Scoresheet: Use the central scoresheet to enter grades for all registered students.
- Weighted Components: Ensure your assessment weights total 100% for accurate report card generation.
Elective Subject Registration
For elective subjects, you must manually register the students who are taking the course.
- Click on Elective Registration in the subject menu.
- Select the students from the batch who are enrolled in this subject.
- Click Save Registration.
If a student is accidentally assigned to an assessment but is not in the batch, use the Cleanup Unassigned Students tool in the scoresheet to remove them without affecting actual grades.
You cannot delete a subject if it already has recorded assessment scores or registered students.
