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 printer’s 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. Don’t 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 people’s 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 bachelor’s 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.

Based on the above information given, engineer an object oriented software system using C#.NET

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’ guide and a technical documentation for the support and maintenance of the
software.(LO 4.5)(M2.1)
