I am a beginner to java - my university course module requires me to do an assignment - that is choose a system and build one.
i have chosen "Student Grading System" - this wont require a database.
i need to just enter student marks and thereby determine that subject grade, and then once all subject grades are determined calculae the gpa and identify the class level.

for now im working on 1st year subjects only.
i have absolutely no idea as to how i shud connect the code with a swing interface. below is the code i have.

CalculateGpa.java

public class CalculateGpa {
    int softDevMarks;
    int sadMarks;
    int bisMarks;
    int linuxMarks;
    int managementMarks;
    int maths1Marks;
    int econMarks;
    int socioMarks;
    int numberOfSubjects = 8;

    //Business Information System Marks
    public int getBisMarks() {
        return bisMarks;
    }

    public void setBisMarks(int bisMarks) {
        this.bisMarks = bisMarks;
    }

    //Management Marks
    public int getManagementMarks() {
        return managementMarks;
    }

    public void setManagementMarks(int managementMarks) {
        this.managementMarks = managementMarks;
    }

    //System Analysis and Design Marks
    public int getSadMarks() {
        return sadMarks;
    }

    public void setSadMarks(int sadMarks) {
        this.sadMarks = sadMarks;
    }

    //Software Development Marks
    public int getSoftDevMarks() {
        return softDevMarks;
    }

    public void setSoftDevMarks(int softDevMarks) {
        this.softDevMarks = softDevMarks;
    }



    //Mathematics 1 Marks
    public int getMaths1Marks() {
        return maths1Marks;
    }

    public void setMaths1Marks(int maths1Marks) {
        this.maths1Marks = maths1Marks;
    }

    //PC Application Laboratory Marks
    public int getLinuxMarks() {
        return linuxMarks;
    }

    public void setLinuxMarks(int linuxMarks) {
        this.linuxMarks = linuxMarks;
    }

    //Economics Marks
    public int getEconMarks() {
        return econMarks;
    }

    public void setEconMarks(int econMarks) {
        this.econMarks = econMarks;
    }

    //Sociology marks
    public int getSocioMarks() {

        int maths1Credits = subjectCredits.getMaths1Credits();
        double mathsGpa = mathsCredits * subjectCredits.getGrade(mathsMarks);

        double gpaAverage = softDevGpa + sadGpa + managementGpa + bisGpa;        
        double gpa = gpaAverage/numberOfSubjects;

        System.out.println("ICT 1001 - Software Development grade is : " + subjectCredits.getGradeRate(softDevMarks));
        System.out.println("ICT 1002 - SAD grade is : " + subjectCredits.getGradeRate(sadMarks));
