Assignment Brief “Royal ICT Hub” is an IT institute, which provides world recognized IT Programs in Sri Lanka. Currently they are working with Linux based environment. You have been hired as a professional Object Oriented Programming developer to design and implement an automated Student Registration System (SRS). When a student first enrolls at the university, the student uses the SRS to specify a major and a degree. During the registration period preceding each semester, the student is able to view the schedule of classes online, and choose whichever classes he or she wishes to attend, indicating the preferred section (day of week and time of day) if the class is offered by more than one professor. The SRS will verify whether the student has satisfied the prerequisites for each requested course by referring to the student’s online transcript of courses completed and grades received. Assuming that the prerequisites for the requested course are satisfied, there is room available in each of the class, the student is enrolled in the class. It is the student’s responsibility to drop the class if it is no longer desired. Students may drop a class up to the end of the first week of the semester in which the class is being taught. At the end of the semester grades are posted, possible grades are variations on A, B, C, D (i.e. A, A+, A-), and an F. If a student achieves pass mark of a course then this course is updated in his transcript. The high-level requirements of the system are: 1. Enrol in university. 2. Register for a course. 3. Drop a course. 4. Determine a student’s course load (All the student enrolled courses). 5. View schedule of classes.

6. Request a transcript for a given student. 7. Maintain course information: course id, course description, course instructor. 8. Post final semester grades for a given course. Some of the higher level requirements mentioned in the above list are decomposed below. ‘Enrol in university’ should be decomposed into: I. Set student name II. Set student registration number. III. Declare degree. IV. Declare major. ‘Register for a course’ should be decomposed into: I. Verify that a student has met the prerequisites. II. Check availability of a seat in the course. ‘Post

final

semester

grades

for

a

given

course’

should be

decomposed into: I. Update student transcript with grade if student passed. II. Remove course from student course load. ‘Drop a course’ should be decomposed into: I. Check if a week into the semester has yet to pass. II. If yes, then remove the course from student course load. III. Otherwise do not remove course. It is up to you to decompose the rest of the requirements in the above list. Anything is acceptable as long as it is reasonable and well documented.
