Object Oriented Development with Java (CT038-3-2) of 6

1.0 COURSEWORK TITLE

STUDENT GRADE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

2.0 THE COURSEWORK OVERVIEW

You are required to develop an application to maintain student exam details for a university.

The users should be able to enter, search, edit and view personnel information of students

and also enter, view and edit exam marks of the students based on different access priority.

This application will be used by the administrators, lecturers, administrative staff and

students. The main purpose of this application is to store and edit the complete personal

record and examination records of each student in the university. In addition, a supporting

document is needed to reflect the design of the implementation codes and the

implementation details that utilises the object oriented programming concepts.

3.0 OBJECTIVES OF THIS COURSEWORK - Develop the practical ability to describe, justify and implement an object oriented

system.

- Research and present a contemporary Object-oriented topic

4.0 LEARNING OUTCOMES At the end of this coursework, you should be able to:

- Develop hands-on programming skill in developing java applications

- Design and implement Object-oriented systems

- Research and present a contemporary Object-oriented topic

5.0 TYPE

- Individual Assignment

6.0 COURSEWORK DESCRIPTION

Each user of the system has its own user name and password. The users of the

system and their priorities are as follows:

Level 2 Asia Pacific University College of Technology and Innovation 2011


Administrator

- Has the highest access priority which enables him/her to perform all the

functionalities that exist in the application.

- Is able to register/add new users to the system.

- Is able to add, delete, edit, search and update all records.

Lecturers (Academic staff)

- The lecturer in charge of a module has the right to enter, view, delete and

edit marks for the given module.

- Able to view and search student and module information.

Administrative staff

- Can only view and search student details, module details and module results.

(Cannot add, delete or edit examination information.)

Students

- Able to view their examinations report.

- Able to view module details.

The administrator has the right to add/register new students. Some of the following

details of each students are recorded:

- Student Number (Automatically generated by the system, start with a ‘S’ and

followed by 6 digit number)

- Name

- National Identification Card Number (Free Format)

- Gender

- Date of birth

- Modules (note: each student takes 3 modules per semester)

- Batch

- Date Joined

- Nationality



A student registers for 3 modules per semester. Each module is assigned to a single

lecturer and the lecturer has control over the module within the period. Every

module contains 2 assessments, of which, an in-course assignment weighted at 50%

and final examination weighted at 50%.

There can be only one Administrator with user name Admin.

Each staff has a unique number and this will be automatically generated by the

system.

Classification of designation for staff is categorised as follows:

- Administrative staff (start with a ‘A’ and followed by 4 digit number)

- Academic staff (start with a ‘L’ and followed by 4 digit number)

The search of any record in the system can be done by using the following

categories:

- Student Number

- Name

- NIC Number

- Module

If a list of record is displayed after the search, the system should allow fine

searching in order to allow only one record to be displayed as the final selection.

You should design the system so that the user is able to edit the selective category in

the search record. After the edit process is done, the user is prompted for saving

purpose.

You should determine the selection in the main menu for each login user. After each

final result is displayed, the system should prompt the user whether he/she would

like to continue or not.



7.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

The program you submit should compile and be executed without errors. Validation should

be done for each entry from the user in order to avoid logical errors. The implementation

must highlight the use of object oriented programming concepts as required by the solution.

8.0 DELIVERABLES:

- The student grade management system with complete code submitted in the form of a

CD-ROM.

- Documents delivered in printed and softcopy form.

8.1 STUDENT GRADE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM & RESEARCH FINDINGS IN

CD FORM:

The completed application of the system as well as the softcopy of the report

must be burned onto a CD-ROM.

The application must contain all the relevant source code.

8.2 DOCUMENTS: COURSEWORK REPORT

As part of the assessment, you must submit the project report in printed and

softcopy form, which should have the following format:

A) Cover Page: All reports must be prepared with a front cover. A protective transparent plastic sheet can be placed in front of the report to protect the front cover. The front cover should be presented with the following details: Module Coursework Title Intake Student name and id Date Assigned (the date the report was handed out). Date Completed (the date the report is due to be handed in).

B) Contents: Description and justification of the design and the implementation

codes which illustrate the object oriented programming concepts incorporated into the solution

A report on the object-oriented topic researched



C) Conclusion

D) References The font size used in the report must be 12pt and the font is Times

New Roman. Full source code is not allowed to be included in the report. The report must be typed and clearly printed.

You may source algorithms and information from the Internet or books. Proper referencing of the resources should be evident in the document.

All references must be made using the Harvard Naming Convention as shown below:

The theory was first propounded in 1970 (Larsen, A.E. 1971), but since then has been refuted; M.K. Larsen (1983) is among those most energetic in their opposition……….

/** * Following source code obtained from (Danang, S.N. 2002) */int noshape=2;noshape=GetShape();

List of references at the end of your document or source code must be specified in the following format:

Larsen, A.E. 1971, A Guide to the Aquatic Science Literature, McGraw-Hill, London.
