#Student Evaluation System
FunQ is a student evaluation system developed to compliment the Jamaican Grade 4 literacy and numeracy examination. The FunQ System is an Intelligence Quotient that aims to cover more scope in the assessment of each child, namely their verbal, spatial, visualization, classification, logic and pattern recognition skills. The result of each child is subjective to them and as such their teachers would then know how to best approach educating that child and what to improve based on the results generated from the FunQ system. Accurate evaluation ofthe cognitive skills are vital to the success of our software as this is critical for us to understand how a child learns as well as how best to improve them.
Verbal intelligence measures the child’s capacity to use language in order to express themselves, it is how they interpret what is given to them as well as how efficiently they can understand other people.
Visual intelligence measures the ability to process visual material and to employ both physical and mental images in thinking.Visualization also facilitates the ability to form associations between pieces of information something which helps improve long term memory.
Logical-thinking is the ability to make deductions that lead rationally to a certain conclusion.
Pattern recognition is the ability to see order in a chaotic environment.
Classification measures the ability to organize collections of items by finding similarities and differences between them. These skills enable the student to interpret relevant data and gain a better general understanding of the world.

example: http://localhost:8000/
-
The FunQ homepage should become available
-
The default administrator login is:
admin : admin123
-
Once logged in you have access to all the system features.
The FunQ system has been in development for 22 days and is currently still in the development. As a result some of the systems features have yet to be fine tuned, however many of the basic features are operational. The follwing features will cause problems when being accessed.
- User Create Page (user roles causing an issue)
- Document Uploads and Edit Page (all documents retain the extension 'initial' regardless of document type)
- The Quiz component
