• A student registers for 3 modules per semester. Each module is assigned to a single lecturer and the lecturer has the 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%.
• Each staff has a unique staff number and this will be automatically generated by the system.
Classification of designation for staff is categorised as follows:
- Administrative staff
- Academic staff
The category of designation and the related department are determined by the developer of the system.
• The search for any records in the system can be done by using the following categories:
- Student Number
- Name
- NIC Number
- Module
- and other categories
• If a list of record is displayed after the search, the system should allow fine searching in order to show only one record. The system should be designed in the way that the users are able to edit the selective categories in the searched records. After the edit process is done, the user is prompted for saving purposes.
• The selection in the main menu for each login user should be determined. After each final result is displayed, the system should prompt the user whether he/she would like to continue or not.
