We’re developing a grading system for a school with multiple levels (e.g., elementary, middle school, high school) and various subjects within each level (n subjects < 200). The challenge is that:
Dynamic Marking Schemes:
Each subject can have its own unique marking pattern. This pattern might involve factors like:
- Score: The base score achieved by the student.
- Additional Data: Parameters influencing the marking, such as:
- Date of exam (e.g., scaling for particularly difficult exams)
- Age of candidate (e.g., adjustments for younger students)
- Location (e.g., accounting for regional variations)
- Monthly income (e.g., socio-economic considerations)
- Shared Marking Schemes: Some marking schemes might be applicable across multiple subjects within a level or even across different levels.
- Scalability: The solution should efficiently handle a moderate number of subjects (less than 200) while allowing for future growth.
Desired Solution:
We’re seeking a Java solution that effectively addresses these challenges. Ideally, the solution should:
- Flexibility: Allow for defining various marking schemes with different factors influencing the final marks.
- Reusability: Minimize code duplication by enabling shared marking schemes across subjects and levels.
- Maintainability: The code should be well-structured and easy to understand for future modifications.
