The rating system which is currently used by social bookmark is based upon the average score for each single bookmark that has been added. Each student is only able to rate each of the bookmarks on the system only once. The student can change the rating they have given to each record, but if they change the rating for a particular record, the older record is then deleted. This prevents a student from entering a number of different ratings for a single bookmark. |
