Evaluation of Practical Examination

1. Problem Solving using Java Student is required to solve programming problems based on all concepts covered in theory throughout the year and maintain a record of these in the practical file. Student will be given a problem to be solved using Java during final practical examination to be conducted at the end of the academic session. 2. SQL Queries Students will be practicing SQL queries in MySQL throughout the year alongwith course coverage in theory. Student will be asked to write 4 queries based on one or two tables during final practical examination to be conducted at the end of the academic session. 3. Practical Record File A practical record file is required to be created during the entire academic session. It should be duly signed by the concerned teacher on regular basis and is to be produced at the time of Final Practical Examination for evaluation. It should include the following:

At least 12 solutions of simple problems using IDE based Java (refer to Appendices 'A' & 'B'). Solution of at least 2 simple problems incorporating Java Application & Database connectivity. At least 24 SQL queries based on one and/or two tables . At least two web pages using HTML.

4. Project File Students in group of 2-3 are required to work collaboratively to develop a project using Programming and Database skills learnt during the course. The project should be an application in any one of the domains - eGovernance, e-Business and e-Learning - with GUI front-end and corresponding database at the back-end. 5. Viva Voce Students will be asked oral questions during practical examination to be conducted at the end of the course. The questions will be from the entire course covered in the academic session.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. To display a message using Label, TextBox, MessageDialog using simple GUI applications. To concatenate two text entries and display using simple GUI application. To perform a simple arithmetic operation (+,-,*,/) and display the result in MessageDialog or TextBox using simple GUI application. To perform simple arithmetic operation (+,-,*,/) and display the result in TextBox using simple GUI application. To make simple decision making (if statement) solution and display relevant message using GUI application (Example - Problems related to Eligibility for a given value of Age, "Profit" or "Loss" messages for given values of Cost Price and Sale Price, Grade Display for given values of Marks of students, etc.). To create a simple GUI application to perform both arithmetic and logical operation together (Example Total, Average and Grade calculation for given marks, Salary Calculation on different criteria). To create a simple GUI application to perform an operation based on the criteria input by the user in a CheckBox or a Radio Button. (Example 1: Find the Discount of an item on the basis of Category of item [Electrical Appliance/Electronic Gadget/Stationary specified using a Radio button] and its Cost [Below 1000/Above 1000/Equal to 1000 specified using a Radio button]).

(Example 1: To change the background or Foreground color of any of the Swing elements of the form based on the color selected from a list.) (Example 2: To change the foreground and background color of a label based on the values input/stored in a combo box.) 9. To create a simple GUI application for repeatedly doing a task based on the user input. (Example: To display the multiplication table of a number input by the user.) 10. To store the data (Admission No., Name, Date of Birth, Class and Section) of 10 students in a table [Table] and find total number of students in each class and section.

11. To create a simple GUI application that counts and displays the number of records present in a database table. 12. To create a simple GUI application that displays the records of a database table in a tabular format (using jTable) on the GUI form. 13. To create a simple GUI application that displays the records of a database table in a tabular format (using jTable) on the GUI form based on a criteria input by the user.
