C2006 Project: System Development, Part 1
Hi All!
This is the post for C2006 Project: System Development. Maybe some of you has been waiting for it. 
First of all, I would like start by describing this Module (C2006), what are you expected to do and what are the challenges and pitfalls that you should avoid in order to succeed in this module.
The Module
in C2006, each student is required to form a group of three (mostly) students. This group is tasked to develop a computer system that solve a problem. The problem can be a virtual problem as long as it is reasonable. So you can think of something or a system that your group wants to create (i.e. Video Rental System, School Registration System, etc.) You are free to choose what system that your group want to create and also what programming language that you want to use. But I suggest that you consult all your decision with the module leader in order to get his/her approval.
Unlike other module that require you to submit just one or two documents, in this module you will need to submit several documents such as:
- Project Proposal
- Analysis Documentation
- Design Documentation
- Final Documentation
These are the major documents that you need to submit for this module. Each document has its own portion to your final mark, so make sure you do your best for each of it.
Things to Keep in Mind
Here are several things that you would like to keep in mind in doing this module:
- This is a group project, your teammate is very important, you cannot finish this module well if your team got broken. So, solve each problem between your group’s members as soon as possible. In the end teamwork and leadership is one of the thing that you will learn from this module.
- Avoid delay in doing the documentations, this project span over two terms but you get a deadline to submit each of the documentations. So try your best to follow this deadline.
- Start to learn the programming language early. The programming language that you choose for your project may be a totally new for you. so, ask one or two member to learn this programming language from the first term of the module, so you will be ready to write the system codes in the second term, otherwise you wont have enough time if you just start to learn the programming language in the second term.
In the next posts, I will upload my old documentations for this module (Proposal, Analysis, Design, and Final Documentation) for your reference. Please note that I do this Module in 2008, so maybe the module has been modified now, use it for your reference only.
Feel free to ask me about this module using the comment section below.
Coming next, I will post my old proposal for this module.
