General Guidelines
1. A Cover page or title page You should always attach a title page to your
assignment. Use previous page as your cover sheet and be sure to fill the
details correctly.
2. This entire brief should be attached in first before you start answering.
3. All the assignments should prepare using word processing software.
4. All the assignments should print in A4 sized paper, and make sure to only use
one side printing.
5. Allow 1 margin on each side of the paper. But on the left side you will need
to leave room for binging.
6. Ensure that your assignment is stapled or secured together in a binder of
some sort and attach the Softcopy (CD) of your final document, system on
last page.
Word Processing Rules
1. Use a font type that will make easy for your examiner to read. The font size
should be 12 point, and should be in the style of Time New Roman.
2. Use 1.5 line word-processing. Left justify all paragraphs.
3. Ensure that all headings are consistent in terms of size and font style.
4. Use footer function on the word processor to insert Your Name, Subject,
Assignment No, and Page Number on each page. This is useful if individual
sheets become detached for any reason.
5. Use word processing application spell check and grammar check function to
help edit your assignment.
6. Ensure that your printers output is of a good quality and that you have
enough ink to print your entire assignment.
Important Points:
1. Check carefully the hand in date and the instructions given with the
assignment. Late submissions will not be accepted.
2. Ensure that you give yourself enough time to complete the assignment by
the due date.
3. Dont leave things such as printing to the last minute excuses of this nature
will not be accepted for failure to hand in the work on time.
4. You must take responsibility for managing your own time effectively.
5. If you are unable to hand in your assignment on time and have valid reasons
such as illness, you may apply (in writing) for an extension.
6. Failure to achieve at least a PASS grade will result in a REFERRAL grade being
given.
7. Non-submission of work without valid reasons will lead to an automatic
REFERRAL. You will then be asked to complete an alternative assignment.
8. Take great care that if you use other peoples work or ideas in your
assignment, you properly reference them, using the HARVARD referencing
system, in you text and any bibliography, otherwise you may be guilty of
plagiarism.
9. If you are caught plagiarising you could have your grade reduced to A
REFERRAL or at worst you could be excluded from the course.

A Student Management System for Metro Campus

Metro Campus is one of the leading institutes in Sri Lanka providing MSc, Computing
Final year programmes in partnership with Lionel College UK. The institute is
located in the heart of Colombo city.
Currently the institution requires a system to record and maintain student and
course related information.
Enrollment Process
Students who are joining for MSc in Information Technology are Postgraduate
students and their basic information with working experience, student personal
statement, and previous qualification are recorded during enrollment.
Final year students are the undergraduate students who have already completed
their Higher National Diploma (equivalent to 1st and 2nd year of a bachelors
degree). Therefore, Date of completion of HND, overall result and awarding body of
HND are recorded during enrollment along with their basic information.
Once the student registration is successfully done then the course registration will
take place. Each course has multiple batches and students are registered to a
specific batch.
Programme Management
Each course consists of 6 Modules, and every student must take all 6 modules. Each
module will have a module id, module name and learning hours.
Student should attempt a final assignment for each module and the grade will be
given after the marking process.
System should provide facility to view Module Result by module code, by student id
and by batch number. Students can view their results by accessing the machine
placed in the student recreational area.
Plan, analyze, design and implement an Object Oriented System to handle
enrollment process of Metro College.

MAIN TASKS:

1. Discuss the pillar concepts of Object Oriented Programming and provide

a comprehensive report which includes definitions, purposes (why it is used)
and demonstrate applications of these pillar concepts with examples
(preferable to use examples from your solution).(LO 1.1) (M1.3)
2. Identify the classes from the scenario and list all the attributes and methods
of each class you have identified using UML notation. (LO 2.1)
3. Draw the Use Case Diagram, Class Diagram and Sequence Diagrams,
ERD for the given scenario. (LO 2.2) When you compile the diagrams,
concentrate on the following points. (M2.1)
a. Use Case diagram should be supported with the Use Case narrations.
b. The class diagram should indicate the relationships between classes
(associations, aggregation, compositions, generalizations etc.)(LO 3.2)
4. Implement an Object Oriented solution using C#.Net only for student
registration process using a suitable IDE. (LO 3.1)(D3.5). Include onscreen
help to assist the users of a Metro Campus. (LO4.4)
5. Provide evidences of Implementation of object behaviors using control
structures to meet the design algorithm (LO 3.3)
6. Make effective use of an Integrated Development Environment (IDE),Include
important code snippets (such as of system-specific algorithms) and
screenshots of important user interfaces(LO 3.4)
7. Prepare a test plan and test your solution according to the plan. The proposed
plan should cover all important functionality of the system. (LO 4.1)
8. Analyze actual test results against expected results and apply the
modifications/ alterations to the implementation/design to overcome the
discrepancies occurred. (LO 4.2)
9. Get independent feedback on your solution (use surveys, questioners,
interviews or any other feedback collecting method) and make
recommendations and suggestions for improvements in a separate
conclusion/recommendations section. (LO 4.3)(D1.4)
10.Prepare a users guideand a technical documentation for the support and
maintenance of the software.(LO 4.5)(M2.1)
