About AceBook:

AceBook Grader is an electronic gradebook designed to streamline, organize and standardize the grading process. The system is a software gradebook-a console application that would run stand-alone on the user's computer. In some ways, the grade entering ap pearance resembles an Excel sheet. At the same time, Acebook includes functionalities tailored for graders including multiple, grader oriented perspectives on the grading data: a course view, student view, and assignment view. These perspectives allow the user to easily and powerfully manage the large amount of book keeping information involved in administering a course.
