CHAPTER ONE

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The world itself has become a global village of technology today, especially

with the computer technology. With the advent of new technology, the world is

now witnessing an easy way to keep information / data. Hence the introduction of

computer is one of the greatest challenges facing man today. Attendance

Management System is software developed for daily student attendance in schools,

colleges and institutes. It facilitates to access the attendance information of a

particular student in a particular class. The information is sorted by the operators,

which will be provided by the lecturer for a particular class. This system will also

help in evaluating attendance eligibility criteria of a student. Since ages, attendance

system has remained one of the most important systems for evaluating the working

time of students in any college or school. In short, this project is used to mark the

number of days present/absent in any academic year of students in a college,

school etc. The software system also helps in evaluating the examination eligibility

criteria for a student in the sense that only those students with attendance above

12

75% are allowed to sit for the semester exams. And this system will also help in

evaluating attendance eligibility criteria of a student. In schools, attendance is

important and mandatory. Nowadays, due to the large number of students, it is

efficient to use attendance management system to manage attendance in schools.

1.2 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

This report describes the capabilities that will be provided by the Software

application “Student Attendance Management System”. The purpose of developing

this attendance management system is to computerize the traditional way of taking

attendance in classes and also manage student information along with their classes

and subjects.

Another purpose for developing the software is to generate the reports

automatically whenever required,-in between the semester or after the semester.

1.3 SCOPE OF THE STUDY

This project involves the design of computer software which is capable of

taking attendance record of students for a particular course with the aim/ purpose

of determining their eligibility to sit for the exam. Another striking feature about

13

the program is, it has the capability of sending the attendance records in the form

of an email to the parents / guardian of the student.

Technology Used

Language:- VB.NET

Backend:- MS ACCESS

System Requirement:

Minimum RAM:- 256 MB

Hard Disk:- 40 GB

Processor:- Intel Pentium 4

Operating System:- Windows XP Service Pack2

1.4 OVERVIEW

Attendance Management System basically has two main modules for proper

functioning:

v First module is the admin, which has right for creating space for new batch.

(Any entry of new faculty, updating subject if necessary, and sending

notice.)

v Second module is handled by the user (sub-admin) which can be a faculty or

an operator. User has a right of making daily attendance, generating report.

14

Attendance can be taken;

v On the basis of Class (Subject and Week)

1.5 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

It is offline software. Which the modification is supposed to send the

attendance at the end of the year and student assessments of the session to

the E-mail address of their parents /guardian.

1.6 DEFINITION OF TERMS

1. COMPUTER: A computer can be finely defined as an automatic electronic

machine, that can accept raw fact or data through an input device like the

keyboard or mouse: stores , processes the data in the system unit using a

particular program and finally supplying the result of information through an

output device such as monitor in the form of pictures or texts on the scrren

called the soft copy or a printer in form of printed paper called the hard

copy.

15

2. DATA: This ia raw material/ facts that has not been processed. Data are also

facts about an organisation or instituiton, and its daily transactions.

3. INFORMATION: These are data that has been processed and is

meaningful to the end user.

4. COMPUTER-BASED: It is also referred to as computerized. It is the art of

using computer system to carry out task.

5. ATTENDANCE: This is an act or fact of attending (being present at) work

or institution. Also, attendance is used to define the number of person

present at a particular day of an event or an institution.

6. SYSTEM: A system is a group of inter-related components working

together towards a common goal by accepting input and producing output in

an organised transformation process. It is also an organised collection of

people; machine and method required to accomplished a set of specific

functions.

7. DATABASE: Are not merely collections of files, rather the database is a

centre source of data meant to be shared by many users for a variety of

applications.

16

8. VISUAL BASIC: Is an object oriented programming development system

for creating application that run under any of the microsoft windows

environment. In visual basic, a program is referred to, as a project.

9. MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO: The latest version of microsoft visual

studio called visual studio .net includes, visual basic 6.0, visual c++, the

new language c# (c sharp) and the .net framework. Visual studio . net,

sometimes referred to as “version” is a major revision of the previous

versions.

17

CHAPTER TWO

2.0 LITERATURE REVIEW

According to Cobuild learners dictionary “Attendance is the fact that someone

is present at an event or go regularly to an institution, or the attendance at an event

is the number of people who are present at it. Furthermore, if someone is in

attendance of a place or event, they are present.”

According to Turban Mclean. Wetherbe (1998) from their book “Information

Technology For Management”, it was stated that the term “information system” is

a collection of component that collects, processes, stores, analyses and disseminate

information for a specific purpose, like any other system. An information system

includes inputs (data, instructions and output reports, calculation).

18

According to A.N Aniekwu and Jone Akpodvado (1999) from their book

“fundamental of practical computer” a computer is a machine that performs

calculation and processes automatically at high speed according to prescribed

sequence of operations to an electronic machine also to one of a mechanic,

analogue or other variety.

Geoffrey K, Nick W, Paul C and John E (1987) added that computer system

consist of individual element working together with the common aim of processing

data > process > information.

C.S French (1996) in his book “Computer Science” asserts that a record is

information relating to one person, production e.t.c in database, a record

contains information about one person.

Larry long and Nancy long (1993) “Computer” computer is able of

interpreting and executing programmed command for input, output,

computation and logic operations.

Aghawra E.D (2002) “Operate Your Computer” asserts that computer are

electronic devices that can be programmed to accept (input), program the input,

store it and output useful information as technological society becomes more

complex.

19

Akin Fapohide (2005) says that, computer is a machine that follows

instructions in order to process data, solve specific problem or accomplished

task is referred to as program.

Attendance Management System facilitates the attendance information of a

particular student in a particular class. The information is sorted by the

operators, which will be provided by the lecturer for a particular class. This

system will also help in evaluating eligibility criteria of a student to sit for an

examination.

2.1 DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM

Data processing system are conned with the transaction, handling and record

keeping, usually for a particular functional area. Data are entered and stored in

a file format, the stored files are updated during routine processing. The major

drawback of data processing system is that, they are flexible and control/

accommodates data, information needs that are not already built into the

system.

20

2.2 INFORMATION SYSTEM CAPABILITIES

Information system includes all use of computer that support administrative

aspect of an organization, example includes, application of payroll system,

registration system, hospital patient bill system, registration combination of

hardware, software , peoples procedure for an information system. A computer

based information system provides an organization with data processing.

Information system has four capabilities as a computer system, which includes

the following: input, processing, storage and output.

2.3 WORKING OF PRESENT SYSTEM

In the present system all work is done on paper. The whole session attendance is

stored in register and at the end of the session the reports are generated. We are not

interested in generating report in the middle of the session or as per the

requirement because it takes more time in calculation. At the end of session the

students who don’t have 75% attendance get a notice.

Disadvantages of Present Working System

v Not User Friendly: The existing system is not user friendly because the

retrieval of data is very slow and data is not maintained efficiently.

21

v Difficulty in report generating: We require more calculations to generate the

report so it is generated at the end of the session and the student does not get

a single chance to improve their attendance.

v Manual control: All calculations to generate report, is done manually so

there is greater chance of errors.

v Lots of paperwork: Existing system requires lot of paper work. Loss of even

a single register/record led to difficult situation because all the papers are

needed to generate the reports.

v Time consuming: Every work is done manually so we cannot generate report

in the middle of the session or as per the requirement because it is very time

consuming.

v Less security: Security of data is less in manual systems. This is because

majority of the records are stored as statements or in registers. Moreover,

these data can be accessed by anyone and even they can modify any

important data.

2.4 PROPOSED SYSTEM

This Application is built for automating the processing of attendance. It also

enhances the speed of performing attendance task easily. It also generates periodic

reports to keep a check on the students who are regular & who are not.

22

The Admin has to login to the system & then in the attendance option they

have to select appropriate class, semester and subject. So this will display the list

of the students who are eligible to appear in this session. Now the admin has to

just select the students name from the manual attendance sheet according to their

roll number and then submit the sheet. This will add the selected students as

present student in that particular session.

This system is very useful to the office, because they can generate various

types of reports and submit them to respective department also or also can be

submitted to the College Coordinator. Office staff can also generate black list of

students who have Attendance less than 50% to 75%. There are various kinds of

reports can be generated.

Characteristics of the proposed system-

v User Friendly:-The proposed system is user friendly because the retrieval

and storing of data is fast and data is maintained.

v Efficiently:- Moreover the graphical user interface is provided in the

proposed system, which provides user to deal with the system very easily.

v Reports are easily generated:- Reports can be easily generated in the

proposed system so user can generate the report as per the requirement

23

(monthly) or in the middle of the session. User can give the notice to the

students so he/she become regular.

v Very less paper work:- The proposed system requires very less paper work.

All the data is feted into the computer immediately and reports can be

generated through computers. Moreover work becomes very easy because

there is no need to keep data on papers.

v Computer operator control:- Computer operator control will be there so no

chance of errors. Moreover storing and retrieving of information is easy. So

work can be done speedily and in time.

v Provision of Employment.

2.5 DATA FLOW DIAGRAM:-

A data flow diagram (DFD) is a graphical representation of the "flow" of

data through an information system. It differs from the system flowchart as it

shows the flow of data through processes instead of hardware.

The DFD is a way of expressing the system in a graphical format, a modular

design was developed by Larry Constrains. This DFD is also known as “Bubble

Chart” has the purpose to classify the system requirement and to identify the major

information that will be a program in system design.

24

A Data Flow Diagram is logical model of the system and shows the flow of

the data and the flow of logic so this all thing describes what takes place in a

proposed system, not how the activities are accomplished.

We have noted that the DFD describes what the flow is rather then how they

are processed, so it means the DFD doesn’t depend on the hardware, software, data

structure or file organization.

DFD consist of a series of symbols joined together by a line.

3.0 METHODOLOGY

Student Attendance Management System has been developed in Institute for

computerized attendance submission and it’s monitoring by Lecturers, Head of

Departments, Dean Academic Affairs and Director. Students/Guardians also have

access to view their attendance. In this, the Lecturers engaging different classes are

required to submit the attendance of the students present in their class regularly.

Detailed guidelines for its use are under. Teachers will submit their attendance

through this Student Attendance Management System.

3.1 STUDENT INFO MAINTENANCE

26

The system will maintain information about various students enrolled in the

course in different years. The following information will be maintained for each

student: Student name, Matriculation number, Admission year, Level.

The system will also allow creation, modification, deletion of new and

existing students’ info by the Operator, and also the ability to list all the students

enrolled in a particular year.

Attendance Management System basically has two main modules for proper

functioning:

• First module is admin which has right for creating space for new batch, any entry

of new faculty, updating a subject if necessary, and sending notice.

• Second module is handled by the sub-admin which can be a faculty or an

operator. User has a right of making daily attendance, generating report.

3.2 SOFTWARE ENGINEERING MODEL

The model employed to materialize the Student Attendance Management

System is the iterative waterfall model. A common mistake is to consider

"iterative" and "incremental" as synonyms, which they are not. In software

(systems development). The basic idea is to develop a system through repeated

cycles (iterative) and in smaller portions at a time (incremental), allowing software

27

developers to take advantage of what was learned during development of earlier

parts or versions of the system. Learning comes from both the development and

use of the system, where possible key steps in the process start with a simple

implementation of a subset of the software requirements, iteratively enhance the

evolving versions until the full system is implemented. At each iteration, design

modifications are made and new functional capabilities are added.

The procedure itself consists of the initialization step, the iteration step, and

the Project Control List. The initialization step creates a base version of the system.

The goal for this initial implementation is to create a product to which the user can

react. It should offer a sampling of the key aspects of the problem and provide a

solution that is simple enough to understand and implement easily.

Technology Used:-

Language:- VB.NET

Backend:- MS-Access

3.3 SYSTEM REQUIREMENT SPECIFICATION (S.R.S.)

3.3.1 Functional Requirements

The functional requirement of the project is defined under three modules. The first

module allows the system Administrator(admin) to log into his account and has the

privileges to do multiple things some of the include adding new student,

modifying student information and modifying student information, deleting of

student and sub admin, also there is a provision to change login password.

The second module of the project defines itself in terms of being used by the sub-

admin (Lecturers) Lecturer have to enter their login id and Password in system.

After that the id is verified and the records of Student of particular semester are

displayed on the screen. Lecturer now mark the attendance of student who is

present in class, lecturer can also change their password.

The third module of the project allows the students to log into the system and view

their current attendance statistics. No other privileges are given to the student.

29

3.3.2 Non-Functional Requirements:-

v Hardware requirements-

Hardware Interface 1: The system should be embedded in the PC/Laptop.

Hardware Interface 2: 40 GB hard disk and 256 MB RAM.

Incorporate new requirements in the individual modules (i.e. student info, student

attendance info, and user accounts info and reports generation).

3.6 PORTABILITY

The application will be easily portable on any windows-based system that has MS

Access 2000 installed.

3.7 USE CASE DIAGRAM:-

A use case diagram in the Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a type of

behavioral diagram defined by and created from a Use-case analysis. Its purpose is

32

to present a graphical overview of the functionality provided by a system in terms

of actors, their goals (represented as use cases), and any dependencies between

those use cases.

The main purpose of a use case diagram is to show what system functions are

performed. Roles in the system can be depicted.

Use Case diagrams are formally included in two modeling languages defined by

the OMG: the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and the Systems Modeling

Language (SysML).

CHAPTER FOUR

4.0 SUMMARY, RECOMMENDATION AND CONCLUSION

4.1 SUMMARY

From all discussions or ideas that have been considered in this write-up

about a student attendance management system, it can be seen that the project is

automated attendance system. The system is designed using any preferred or

assigned programming software: visual basic .net.

When the data entry officer enters a data of a student attendance, as result

are being accessed, the automated attendance gives a percent in the continuous

assessment of the student.

4.2 CONCLUSION

The Attendance Management System is developed using Visual Basic.NET. it

fully meets the objectives of the system for which it has been developed. The

system has reached a steady state where all bugs have been eliminated. The system

is operated at a high level of efficiency and all the lecturers and users associated

with the system understand its advantage. From the tests performed on the new

system\design it will improve on the overall performance on the management of

36

students attendance, thus the system solves the problem that it was intended to

solve. Furthermore, computerization of attendance system is not just a matter of

technological innovation and development; It is a process which involves

individual, organization and society in general. The computerization of the

attendance system has brought about faster access and easier method of viewing,

editing, printing (documentation) of student attendance record.

4.3 RECOMMENDATION

This study is based on the computerization of the attendance management

system . The present system(manual) has been seen to be error prone, ineffective

and time consuming which sometimes give rise to incorrect attendance information

then this will at the long run(semester end or examination period) affect decision

making of the department or institution.

I recommend that the new system based on the study should be put in place

immediately, when the new system has been fully tested and found reliable. Proper

staff training should also be affected so that skilled person will be available to use

the computerized system. It should be noted that the computer is a machine that

37

gives you the result of what you put in (garbage in garbage out). Proper care

should be taken to prevent incorrect input of data.
