Progression
message rules can be used to construct the Rule messages displayed in PRGF6600,
when a student has not made satisfactory progress in their studies.
The
message is actually a string of characters returned by the rule, and may be
made up of strings of text concatenated with values appropriate for this Student
Course Attempt.
e.g.
A Progression rule ‘Course GPA falls below 4’ applies to a particular
student who has a course GPA of 3.
In
this case an appropriate Progression message might be:
Progression
rule messages are maintained in RULF2001.
A
rule that would generate such a message would be:
`Student
has gained a course GPA of `+ACTUAL_GPA+`. Required GPA for this course is
` +MINIMUM_GPA+`.`
In
this case, appropriate values for ACTUAL_GPA and MINIMUM_GPA are
inserted in the string of text returned by the rule.
