Design a project to allow a student to access current grades and/or create a "What-if" situation on a continuing basis to understand where they are at any given point in the semester. You will need to calculate multiple grades for exams, quizzes and assignments.
Single grades will be calculated for attendance and this final semester project. Required List:
1. Record grades with the following attributes:
a. First name, middle initial and last name
b. SS # (can be fabricated)
c. 2 exams

e. 6 assignments
f. This final project
g. Attendance
h. Numeric grade
i. Alphabetic grade
2. General controls:

d. Time
e. Image/picture box
f. List box
3. Option buttons with frame
4. MsgBox - Exit and Quit with the usual "Are you sure?"
5. InputBox with Sentinel value
6. Menu (make a menu for Exit/Quit)
7. Accommodate multiple exams, quizzes and assignments; control grade ranges (0-100) for all entries.
8. Calculate Final Grade (numeric portion) using the following scale:
a. Assignments 20%
b. 2 Exams 30 %
c. Semester Project 25 %
d. Attendance 10 % (19 classes = 100 % attendance)
e. 4 Quizzes 15 %
f. Total 100 %
9. Convert numeric grade to alphabetic grade (A, B, etc) a. Optional added feature: A=Excellent!, B=Very Good, C=Good, etc
