Interface GradeSystemTransform

All Superinterfaces:
Browsable, Extensible, Identifiable, Operable, OsidObject, OsidRule
public interface GradeSystemTransform extends OsidRule

A GradeSystemTransform represents a translation between two grade systems. The transform is directional such that a translation between the source and target may not equal a translation between the target and the source grade systems.

      Throws:
      OperationFailedException - unable to complete request
      Compliance:
      mandatory - This method must be implemented.

      Id getTargetGradeSystemId()
      Gets the target GradeSystem Id .
      Returns:
      the target grade system Id
      Compliance:
      mandatory - This method must be implemented.

    • getTargetGradeSystem

      GradeSystem getTargetGradeSystem() throws OperationFailedException
      Gets the target GradeSystem .
      Returns:
      the target grade system
      Throws:
      OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

    • normalizesInputScores

      boolean normalizesInputScores()
      Tests if this transformation is based on normalization of the input scores.
      Returns:
      true of a normalization is performed, false otherwise
      Compliance:
      mandatory - This method must be implemented.

    • getGradeMaps

      GradeMapList getGradeMaps()
      Gets any one-to-one mapping of grades.
      Returns:
      the grade maps
      Compliance:
      mandatory - This method must be implemented.

    • getGradeSystemTransformRecord

      GradeSystemTransformRecord getGradeSystemTransformRecord(Type gradeSystemTransformRecordType) throws OperationFailedException
      Gets the grade system transform record corresponding to the given GradeSystemTransform record Type . This method is used to retrieve an object implementing the requested record. The gradeSystemTransformRecordType may be the Type returned in getRecordTypes() or any of its parents in a Type hierarchy where hasRecordType(gradeSystemTransformRecordType) is true .
      Parameters:
      gradeSystemTransformRecordType - the type of the record to retrieve
      Returns:
      the grade system transform record
      Throws:
      NullArgumentException - gradeSystemTransformRecordType is null
      OperationFailedException - unable to complete request
      UnsupportedException - hasRecordType(gradeSystemTransformRecordType) is false
      Compliance:
      mandatory - This method must be implemented.
