Welcome to the use of Grades Interims & Student Teams
 There are three files on  the disk. You must have all 
       three in this SHAREWARE version.

README    - This is the file you are reading now. It only tells you what 
            each file in the set does and is not needed to run the
            programs. But it handy to know what to do.
GIST11A.PRG - This is the BOOT program for this disk. In the SHAREWARE
             version you must load this PRG file first, read the
             documentation if you want, print it out or print out
             an order form. Or you can just use the arrows to go
             to the MENU and select GIST
             and press ENTER and the main program will run.
GIST11B     - This is the main program and if you have read or printed
             out the documentation then you know the power it has to let
             you configure it for your own uses.

When you register your version (directions are in the BOOT program) 
you will receive an updated version, printed documentation,
and the program will include all working functions.  
              THANK YOU AND ENJOY!!!

               Grades Interims & Student Teams  

This  version of Grades Interims & Student Teams was written for the 
teacher who wants to enter data once and use it for many functions.
There are a few assumptions about the use of the computer before 
working  this program.

1.) The teacher would use points or percentages for grades. As 
simple as assigning each assignment maybe 10 points, or any
number that you so desire - or do everything as a straight 
percent, either way the computer does all the converting to the
correct GRADE od A, B, C, D or E/F based on your criteria.

2.) This SHAREWARE version does everything except printout any 
reports, lists etc. That way you can try it out for one class and 
if you like how it helps you assist your grading, and you want to 
use it, then you register with EMS and receive the full package 
with  printouts etc. and in the meantime keep using the program 
until you receive the registered version and you can use the SAME 
data you have been working with. 

3.) It is assumed that the teacher has a working knowledge of  the 
Atari  ST  series of computers as far as the  GEM  interface  with 
dropdown menus and use of the mouse.



******************************************************************

If the above assumptions are correct, then there should be little 
difficulty with working the program.

******************************************************************
 
This program is part of  an entire series that have been developed
by a teacher in math for the past twenty years.


          Other titles available are:

                 ALGEBRA I - Expressions
                 ALGEBRA I - Linear Equations
                 ALGEBRA I - Systems Of Equations
                 ALGEBRA I - Verbal Problems
                 BASIC MATH SKILLS - Operations
                 BASIC MATH SKILLS - Ratio/Proportion
                 BASIC MATH SKILLS - Percent   
                 BASIC MATH SKILLS - Fractions     

These  titles  will allow the student to  practice  the  necessary 
skills  to  be developed during their growth in mathematics and to 
insure  with this practice continued success as they go forward in 
whatever math they take, and have fun as well.

These titles will be available in a HOME VERSION, a SCHOOL VERSION
and a NETWORKED VERSION. The difference being that the SCHOOL 
VERSION will be sold to a teacher and they would be allowed to 
make as many copies for their OWN use as they had computers 
available. The NETWORKED VERSION is sold to a school and the school
will have a license  through  the purchase  to  place it on their 
LAN and use it for the entire school. But more importantly there 
is a separate program for the teacher to enter classes,  class
lists and do managed instruction from any of the series titles
for individual students the results of which will automatically 
be saved to disk.  The teacher can then assess this information
and make changes as appropriate.


It is very important to understand that written into the programs
are controls that allow the user to make changes in the parts that 
effect the numbers,  their size,  use of negative numbers etc.  in 
order  to  make the program as customized as it can  be  for  each 
user.


Also  OPTIONS are included that make it possible for the  user  to 
make  use  of the data generated from their use of  this  program, 
including  generating worksheets of randomly  generated  problems, 
dumping  to  the  printer problems that the user is  not  able  to 
master for future study,  saving to disk at any point a file  with 
the  results of the work up to that point,  bringing in from  disk 
any past file and many other OPTIONS.

It is hoped that the purpose of this program:
         to help students understand mathmematics and
         have fun while they are learning and
         will  benefit those who spend the time working with it.

            Thank you for using GRADES INTERIMS & STUDENT TEAMS
