Assignment Brief

As part of the formal assessment for the programme you are required to submit a
Object Orientated Programming assignment. Please refer to your Student
Handbook for full details of the programme assessment scheme and general
information on preparing and submitting assignments. The assignment brief will
specifically give details and instructions for the assignment. No examination, or details
of, are included within this module.

Module description: Coursework 100%

Description: The assignment is given as three tasks. Task 1 has been designed to
check your understanding of Logic and the construction of an appropriate UML
diagram, based on the scenario given. Task 2 validates your knowledge and
understanding of inheritance and multiple processes within an OOP framework.
Finally, Task 3 is a mini project that is split into three parts, therefore allowing you to
showcase your understanding on many OOP methodologies and their applications.

A clear, concise description and application for all Tasks is to be given within
the submission, complimented with screenshot evidence of all processes and
results. You are to submit a single word document for all three tasks. Your
FULLY developed and tested code for tasks 2 and 3 is to be included within an
appropriately associated appendix, so that your code can be checked and
verified.

Guidance

Your assignment should include: a title page containing your student number, the
module name, the submission deadline and the exact word count of your submitted
document; the appendices if relevant; and a reference list in AU Havard system(s).
You should address all the elements of the assignment task listed below. Please note
that tutors will use the assessment criteria set out below in assessing your work.

You must not include your name in your submission because Arden University
operates anonymous marking, which means that markers should not be aware of the
identity of the student. However, please do not forget to include your STU number.

Maximum word count: 4000 words

Please refer to the full word count policy which can be found in the Student Policies
section here: Arden University | Regulatory Framework

Please note the following:

Students are required to indicate the exact word count on the title page of the
assessment.

The word count includes everything in the main body of the assessment (including in
text citations and references). The word count excludes numerical data in tables,
figures, diagrams, footnotes, reference list and appendices. ALL other printed
words ARE included in the word count.

Please note that exceeding the word count by over 10% will result in a 10-percentage
point deduction.

Assignment Task

Case Study
The Head of “Maximus” has asked you to develop an application that will create the
following departments within the store, Women’s Clothing, Men’s Clothing, Make Up,
Food and Toys. In addition to full time staff across all departments, each department
also offers weekly departmental workshops to customers. Staff are also allocated four
hours per week as personal shoppers to customers that require additional help when
shopping. These hours are posted on the department stores website, so customers
can book an appointment during these hours. Each customer is limited to a thirty
minute session only, as to enable multiple customers the personal service they require
each week.

The Food department also offers boot camps in baking, for which there is a registration
requirement. There are full time and part time staff across all departments and
additional bakery boot camp staff for the Food department only. The boot camp is
available for new and existing customers. New customers get an additional discount
on the bakery boot camp if they enrol on a further full-time boot camp at the department
store.

This application has a provision to insert, modify, delete, and display staff and
customer records including details such as name, age, email, phone number, sex,
address, boot camp fees (customers only) and salaries (staff only).

Functionality
The overall assignment is broken down into three tasks. Task 1 requires a class
diagram to be designed and drawn appropriately. Task 2 requires the initial
applications to be written in Java, using appropriate OOP methodologies and task 3
requires the further development of the application, specifically relating to individual
staff and customers of “Maximus”: culminating in a mini project.

Task 1 – UML
Draw a UML class and object diagram that correctly represents the scenario detailed
within the Case study described above.
(800 Words)
(20 Marks)
(LO: 2)

Task 2: - Application and Testing

Write a Java program to code the UML class diagram from Task 1 to show only the
base classes, as this will be further developed within Task 3. You should describe and
justify the attributes and operations for each class you have written. Add appropriate
methods to set and get the instance variables in the classes. Test your code for
robustness.
(800 Words)
(20 arks)
(LO: 1)

Task 3:
(Mini Project)
As the department stores data administrator, the CEO has asked you to create a Java
application, applying appropriate OOP methodologies, which will display multiple
queries on individuals in the department store such as full and part time staff. There
will be three parts to Task 3, constituting to a mini project.

a. Using the class and object diagram created in response to Task 1, select an
appropriate class as the base class. Write the Java code for this base class
and decide how many derived classes are appropriate to make the code as
efficient as possible and implement the hierarchy in Java.

 b. For this task consider the database to be comprised of multiple Array List(s).
Include dummy data showing the details of full-time staff (a minimum of 4
records including at least 4 staff), part time staff (a minimum of 10 records) and
staff availability hours for personal shopping support (one record per full time
staff member). Demonstrate one example of the functionality of a customer
selecting a thirty-minute slot for one personal shopper. Implement this
interaction in Java. Test it by printing the customer name, customer
phone number, full time staff members name and appointment details.
(15 marks)

c. Set the fees for the bakery boot camp for new customers to £350 with a
discount of 32% if they enrol on an additional full-time boot camp. Select this
functionality as an abstract method defined in an abstract class/interface.
Demonstrate how the full functionality of this abstract method can be
implemented in Java.

Formative Feedback

You have the opportunity to submit a draft to receive formative feedback.

You are encouraged to submit your assignment for feedback once and it is 30% of
your entire submission. You, the student, are to choose 30%, not the tutor. The last
day for guaranteed feedback hand in is Monday of week 9 at 23:58. No formative
feedback will be given after the time specified above, either blended, or distance
learning.

The Feedback is designed to help you develop areas of your work, encouraging
academic skills and independent learning.

If you are a Distance Learning student, then you are encouraged to send 30% of your
assignment for feedback by email to your tutor, no later than two weeks before your
final submission date. Dates will be given to you by your tutor on a module by module
basis.

Formative feedback will not be given to work submitted after the above date or the
date specified by your tutor - if a blended learning student.

Referencing Guidance

You MUST underpin your analysis and evaluation of the key issues with appropriate
and wide ranging academic research and ensure this is referenced using the AU
Harvard system(s).

 Assessment Criteria (Learning objectives covered - all)
Level 5 reflects the continuing development in knowledge, understanding and skills from Level 4. At Level 5, students are not expected to be fully
autonomous but are able to take responsibility for their own learning with appropriate guidance and direction. Students are expected to further
develop their theoretical knowledge within a more intellectual context and to demonstrate this through more complex forms of expression which
move beyond the descriptive or imitative domain. Students are expected to demonstrate skills of analysis in both problem-solving and resolution.

Note: All sub-tasks are considered to be equally weighted. Where grades are awarded across mutiple sub-tasks, the marker will allocate grades
appropriately.
e.g. If the task contains a part a) and b) they are considered together (as each relates to different aspects of the learning outcomes) and, a poor response
to the second part would reduce the overall grade awarded, even if the reponse to the first part is of a high standard,
