Assignment Brief 1 (RQF) : Higher National Certificate/Diploma in Computing

The document provides an assignment brief for a Higher National Certificate/Diploma in Computing course. The assignment involves designing a procedural programming solution to manage student grades. [Students are to design a menu-driven program that allows a teacher to enter student IDs and grades into arrays, print the IDs and grades, and find the highest and lowest grades. They must analyze the problem, design the solution using diagrams, and write a report on procedural programming and their analysis and design.]

Assignment Brief
Scenario:
A math teacher wants to manage grades of a class. He asks you to help him to write a
small application to do that. He needs to enter student IDs, student’s grades and store
these information into 2 separate arrays (integer array for IDs and float array for
grades). Then he needs to print all student IDs together with their grades. Finally, he
needs to know which student has highest grade and lowest grade. Your program should

1
be menu based with the options above. When an option is done, the program should go
back to the main menu so he can choose another option. There should be an option to
quit program.
Task 1
To prove your programming ability to be appointed to this small project, please prepare
an illustrated guide on programming in general and a particular emphasis on procedural
programming. Here you will need to include introduction to computer programming
languages and discuss key features of procedural programming.
Task 2
Your next task is to do the analysis for the scenario mentioned above by doing the
following subtasks
 Identify the variables and data types required in the program.
 Identify and describe 2 different selection structures, including the condition(s) to
check; state why they are needed and where they can be used in the context of the
scenario.
 Identify and describe any iteration constructs.
 Split the program into functions (sub-functions) and draw a hierarchy diagram to
illustrate the structure of your program.

Task 3
You need to use a drawing tool to draw design diagram for your program, includes:
 A use case diagram for actions required
 Flow chart diagrams for: menu operation, printing IDs and grades, finding max
grade and finding min grade.
 Review / evaluate your design, state clearly pros vs cons and which needs to
improve, using characteristics of procedural programming as bases to discuss.

Write a report for 3 tasks above and submit the report to CMS in PDF format.

Submission Format
The submission is in the form of an individual written report. This should be written in a
concise, formal business style using single spacing and font size 12. You are required to
make use of headings, paragraphs and subsections as appropriate, and all work must be
supported with research and referenced using the Harvard referencing system. Please also
provide a bibliography using the Harvard referencing system.
