CIS 201 Systems Analysis & Design

Project 8

  1. Read Chapter 7 pages 297 - 321 in your textbook.
  2. Read and work through the Case-Sim: SCR Associates on page 325.  At the end of the simulation session there is a task list of things you need to do.  You may complete all of the tasks, but I will be only asking for specific task items for grading purposes.  Please be sure to submit only the task items I request.
  • Note:  remember you need a password.  The password is sad7. 
  1. For this project please submit the following task:
  • Task #3:  Create a list of data validation checks for the data entry screens.  Hint:  see page 317 - 318.
  • Task #4:  Create a source document for an SCR mail-in class registration form.  This can be done in Word.  Then design the data entry screen for a Web-based course registration form.  Make sure your data entry form matches and flows well with the data entry screen.  You should use consistent names on labels and titles.  The fields on the form should be sequenced to match the fields on the screen.  You can use Word's drawing and shape tools, Visio, HTML, Visual Studio, or even Access to create the design.  Just like with the report mockup you should use sample data so that the user can envision how the actual screen will look.  For a good example read the SoftWear, Limited case on pages 331 - 337.  This project will take some time.  So plan on it.
  • Notes:  If you are using Visio, then here's the paths to some helpful templates.  Visio 2003:  Select File from the menu, then New, Choose Drawing Type.., under Category (left side), click Software, then Windows XP User Interface.  Visio 2007:  File, New, Getting Started, Template Categories, Software and Database, Windows XP User Interface.  OK, yes you are supposed to be designing a Web page and not a Windows form.  But, some of the same controls and icons can be used for a Web page as are used for a Windows form.

Another hint for Visio:  You can either draw a rectangle to represent the form and then add controls to it or you can use the Blank Form shape on the Windows & Dialogues template to draw the form and then add the controls to it.  On the Blank form you can double-click the form name and change it to TIMS.

Last hint for Visio:  On the Common Controls template, drag and drop controls such as drop-downs, check boxes, textboxes, and radio buttons as needed on to the form.

  • Online students:  After you submit your design in TalonNet I will upload it to a discussion forum.  The other students in the class will review your design and enter constructive feedback.  Remember on the course outline there were two required discussions.  This will be discussion number two.  You also will review other students' designs and give feedback in posted discussions.  The discussion process is used to simulate a presentation of your design to the users and management where they would provide feedback.  In the traditional section of this class the students present their designs to the class and we give them feedback.  You are welcome to attend class on presentation night, 11/12 at 7:00 PM in SS138.  The students in previous terms have found this process most informative.  By the end of the night we all know what a good report design would look like.
  • Traditional students:  You will present your design to the class and turn in a paper copy of the registration form and data entry design to me.  This will be presentation number one.  Yes, still number one.  I will explain in class.  The presentations are used to simulate a presentation of your design to the users and management where they would provide feedback.  The students in previous terms have found this process most informative.  By the end of the night we all know what a good report design would look like.
  • Remember some of you have never done this before.  So don't get too frustrated.  Do the best you can and submit something by the deadline.  I will review it and if you are on target, then you will get your check mark/points for the project.  If you miss the mark, then I will give you feedback and allow you to resubmit the assignment.  Now this is not a license to be sloppy or lazy.  I can tell when that is happening.  Give it a good honest effort and I will help you.  Also, if you have questions please feel free to email me.
  1. Type the following at the top of your document:
  • CIS 201 Project 8
  • Class Meeting Day and Time (example: Wednesday 7:00 PM or Online)
  • Your Name
  1. Submit your homework for grading:

Traditional students:  Print and present the homework on presentation night, 11/12 at 7:00 PM.
Online students:  Upload the project document(s) to the Project 8 assignment in TalonNet.  I will then upload the file to a discussion forum as mentioned above.  I will let you know when the discussions are available via email.

  1. Optional:  Review the PowerPoint presentation and do the Chapter Review test found on the Lectures & Chapter Reviews Web page.

Be sure to submit/turn in the project by the due date.
