1. A method of correlating achievements of a student from a first academic course to at least one learning objective of a second academic course for determining course credit in the second academic course from the achievements in the first academic course, the method comprising the steps of: providing a data processing machine having software installed thereon; providing a first learning objective for the first academic course; providing at least one assessment for the first academic course which is correlated to the first learning objective of the first academic course; providing a second learning objective of the second academic course which may be correlated with the first learning objective of the first academic course; determining a first score for the assessment for a predetermined student; using the software on the data processing machine to perform the following steps: (a) weighting the at least one assessment relative to other assessments for the first learning objective of the first academic course, (b) weighting the first learning objective of the first academic course relative to other first academic course learning objectives for correlation of the weighted first learning objective of the first academic course to the second learning objective of the second academic course, (c) determining at least one second score for the first learning objective of the first academic course based on the first score for the at least one assessment and the relative weighting of the at least one assessment associated with the first learning objective of the first academic course, (d) determining a third score for the second learning objective of the second academic course to correlate the weighted first learning objective to the second learning objective, the third score being based on the at least one second score for the first learning objective of the first academic course and the relative weighting of the first academic course learning objective, and (e) generating a report based upon the third score for the second learning objective of the second academic course for the student; and evaluating the third score of the second learning objective to determine whether the student is entitled to credit for the second academic course.

The method of claim 1 , wherein the report comprises data depicting relationship between the second score for the first academic course learning objective and the third score for the second academic course learning objective.
