The Student Information System Requirements Definitions (SISRD) document is the requirements definition document of a new software product that keeps track of the records of both courses and their offerings as classes for educational institutions.

The goal of this software product is to maintain and track information about the courses offered by the institution and the classes with which these courses are offered. The product supports two kinds of classes— online classes accessible over the internet and face-to-face classes offered on the grounds of the educational institution. The users of the system are the staff of the institution.

You are hired as a consultant software architect to design the class responsibility collaboration (CRC) cards for this system. From the Courses and Classes Records System Requirements Definitions document, identify the classes of the system. Using the provided CRC card template, document each class showing its responsibilities, collaborations, attributes, and relationships.

Embed your diagram into your post to the discussion forum with each class showing its responsibilities, collaborations, attributes, and relationships. For instructions on embedding files, view the document.

After embedding your model, make sure to complete the other deliverables listed below:
•CRC cards
•Verification and validation of your work
•An explanation of your work and how you arrived at your solution
•A reflection on your learning experience and lesson learned

Refer to the Discussion Rubric for directions on completing these discussions

• The system should maintain the following fields for each course:

1. Course ID

5. Prerequisite course

• These records are updated by the enrollment staff who has the permissions to add, modify, and/or delete any course record.
• Maintain Class Records
• Classes are offered each semester of the above courses.
• There are two kinds of classes: Online classes offered over the internet are accessible via a web browser and face-to-face classes are offered on campus at the college.
• A class cannot exist without an associated course in the system.
• The basic information to maintain for all kinds of classes include the following:

1. Course ID
2. Class begin date
3. Class end date

• In addition, online classes also maintain the following information:

1. Class URL
2. Class browser

• Similarly, face-to-face classes should maintain this additional information about them:

1. Class building
2. Class room

• These records are updated by the enrollment staff who has the permissions to add, modify, and/or delete any class record (either online or face-to-face).
• Register a Student for Classes
• Both students and enrollment staff should be able to register a student (either online or face-to-face) for a class offering for a course. The registration process should proceed as follows:

1. The student information is entered to identify the registering student.
2. The course information for which to register is entered to identify the course.
3. All future classes with start dates after the current date for this course are displayed.
4. The enrollment staff enter future classes for only one semester out.
5. A selection of one class for which to register is then made.
6. The selected class registration is then validated against the following registration rules:
7. There is no duplicate registration for the same class in one semester.
8. Online class registration requires students to acknowledge that they have the required hardware and software to access online classes.

• No more than three class registrations are allowed for one student in one semester unless the student’s GPA is greater than 3.5. (In this case, there is no limit on number of class registrations.)
• When the class registration is validated against the above rules, a confirmation is then displayed to confirm registration. Otherwise, a message explaining the violation of the associated rule is displayed.
  • The process continues, starting from item b), until the user ends the session.
