## 🚀 HOW TO GET STARTED

### Step 1: Admin Setup (5-10 minutes)
```
1. Go to Admin Dashboard
2. Click: Settings → Assessment Cycles
3. Create 2 cycles:
   - Cycle 1 (June 1 - June 15)
   - Cycle 2 (June 16 - June 29)
4. Click: Settings → Term Dates
5. Set:
   - Mid-Term Break: June 20
   - End-Term Break: August 10
6. Review: Settings → Assessment Weights (can keep default 70/30)
```

### Step 2: Teacher Enters Scores (Daily)
```
1. Go to Teacher Dashboard
2. Click: Assessments → Formative Assessment Scores
3. Choose Manual Entry tab
4. Select: Class → Cycle → Student
5. Enter marks and assessment type
6. Click Save Score
```

### Step 3: System Calculates (Auto)
```
When teacher posts results, system will:
- Average all formative scores: 70% weight
- Average all summative (online) scores: 30% weight
- Calculate final: (formative × 0.70) + (summative × 0.30)
- Display on report card with breakdown
(Coming in Phase 5)
```

## 🔑 KEY SYSTEM RULES

### Rule 1: Assessment Types
- **Formative (70%)** = Physical exams + Online exams (teacher-administered, scores uploaded)
- **Summative (30%)** = Online quizzes/CATs (system-based, auto-scored)

### Rule 2: Cycle-Based Split
- Cycles with start/end dates
- Cycles ending BEFORE mid-term break date → go to mid-term report
- Cycles ending BEFORE end-term break date → go to end-term report
- Example:
  ```
  Cycle 1: June 1-15
  Cycle 2: June 16-29
  Mid-Term: June 20
  → Both cycles in mid-term report
  
  Cycle 3: July 1-Aug 5
  End-Term: Aug 10
  → Cycle 3 in end-term report
  ```

### Rule 3: Flexible Scoring
```
Multiple formative exams in one cycle?
→ System averages them

Multiple cycles before report date?
→ System averages the cycles

Then applies weights:
Final = (Formative_Avg × 0.70) + (Summative_Avg × 0.30)
```

- Save to `assessment_category` column

**Phase 5: Result Compiler** (4-5 hours)
- Rewrite result calculation function
- Pull formative scores from `formative_assessment_scores` table
- Pull summative scores from `class_assessments` + `assessment_attempts`
- Calculate: average each category, apply weights
- Store breakdown in `compiled_results.calculation_breakdown`

**Phase 6: Report Display** (2-3 hours)

## 💡 EXAMPLE: COMPLETE CALCULATION

```
Student: John Doe
Subject: Mathematics
Term: First Term (Mid-Term Report)

INPUTS:
- Cycle 1 Physical Exam: 85/100 = 85%
- Cycle 1 Online Exam: 82/100 = 82%
- Cycle 2 Physical Exam: 78/100 = 78%
- Quiz 1: 90/100 = 90%
- Quiz 2: 88/100 = 88%
- CAT 1: 92/100 = 92%

PROCESSING:
Formative (physical + online exams):
  Cycle 1: (85 + 82) / 2 = 83.5%
  Cycle 2: 78%
  Average: (83.5 + 78) / 2 = 80.75%

Summative (online quizzes):
  Average: (90 + 88 + 92) / 3 = 90%

FINAL CALCULATION:
  (80.75 × 0.70) + (90 × 0.30)
  = 56.525 + 27
  = 83.525% → Band EE1

REPORT DISPLAY (Phase 6):
  Mid-Term Score: 83.5% (Band EE1)
  
  Breakdown:
  - Formative (70%): 80.75%
    • Cycle 1 avg: 83.5%
    • Cycle 2 avg: 78%
  - Summative (30%): 90%
    • Quiz 1: 90%, Quiz 2: 88%, CAT: 92%
```
