Plagiarism is presenting somebody else’s work as your own. It includes:

copying information directly from the Web or books without referencing the
material; submitting joint coursework as an individual effort; copying another
student’s coursework; stealing coursework from another student and
submitting it as your own work. Suspected plagiarism will be investigated and
if found to have occurred will be dealt with according to the procedures set
down by the College. Please see your student handbook for further details of
what is / isn’t plagiarism.

3 General guidelines for submission of coursework:
a) All work must be word-processed and must be of “good” standard.
b) Document margins should be 1.5cm.
c) Font size in the range of 12 to 14 points distributed to including
headings and body text. Preferred typeface to be of a common

London College: College Management System

London College: College Management System

The West London College has 600 Students and 22 Lecturers. Each Lecturer is assigned with
unique LecturerID and other general information is stored. Students are registered to the College
on full time or part time basis. Part time students take their classes on weekend. Full time students
have to attend their classes on weekdays and must attend at least 16hrs of classes and this
restriction is not applied to part time Students. Students are uniquely identified by their Student ID
which is assigned when they provide their personnel information like name, address, contact detail
etc at the time of registration. Student who is registered must have exactly one registered course
(weekend or regular). A course has many modules. Once registered, each Student must be
assigned to one lecturer as personnel tutor. A particular lecturer may lecture one or more modules.
Whenever a Student is registered, the college wishes to record the details of the course, by
including the start date, end date, fees paid amount, fees pending amount.

Assume that you have been hired to design the College Management System (CMS) for the
London College. Following specifications should be met for the system:
1. Add new Student record.
2. Search and update current student’s details
3. Search all the Students registered within a particular course.
4. Search all the Students personally tutored by particular lecturer.

Assume a team of Lecturer, and enter some test data for them. The student records have to be
entered by the user .
