Your project will be evaluated on 6 phases.

Three tutorial systems and three webpages of colleges and universities.

Each evaluation has six phases and each phase is worth 20 points, and will be presented separately in order to receive a grade..
You should finish half of each by midterm.

We will take a look at the syllabus.

SYSTEM DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION CRITERIA AND EVALUATION

• Do you have a System?
• What is your system about? Is it unique? If yes, in what way?
• Is your system running?
• What language's) are you using?

• How many databases (data controls) do you have?
• How many tables do you have?
• How many fields are in your tables?
• Check your system functions:
• Insert (add, append)
• Search (wild, partial, smart)
• Modify (update, edit)
• Deletion (remove, purge)
• Report (print out, display, statistics) How many?
• Does your system validation (input, computation, output)? If yes explain.
• Do you have any security validation (input, computation, output)? If yes explain.
• Do you have any security such as password  (user, administrator) and encryption in your system? Describe.
• Is your system GUI and friendly (graphic user interface, multimedia)? Explain.

  THE FINAL PROJECT CONSIST OF 6 PHASES: 

  Explore, investigate and evaluate three existing information systems from the same sector, for this semester we will take a look at three University Websites and three Tutorial Systems.  Indicate pros and cons of each system including the interface that is being used (friendly, overwhelming, simple, security, problems, errors, etc.), followed by your own and others opinions and findings. In addition you may use search engines, and journals for your research. Document each system and voice your own opinion. Create snapshots of the research pasted into Microsoft Word or create web page to show your findings. As the topic of the semester, research how these systems incorporate multimedia (voice recognition, image, etc.) and intelligence.

   

  You will demonstrate your findings in a presentation.

  LAST DAY for Presentation is: December 13TH, 2006.
  December 14TH-20TH will be the Exam Week.
