Practical example of MVC Java Swing with Netbeans

Subject Programming
Model View Controller (MVC) is a software architecture pattern that separates
the data of an application, the user interface, and the business logic in three
distinct components.(According to Saint Wikipedia)
A bit of theory.
Model: This is the specific representation of the information with which the system operates. Also
it is the one that interacts directly with the database
View: This presents the model in a suitable format to interact with the system, usually
the user interface.
Controller: This responds to events, usually user actions, and invokes requests to the
model and, probably, in view.
Flow that follows the implementation of this model.
1. The User interacts with the system through the User Interface (GUI) for example
pressing buttons, entering text, moving the mouse around the screen, etc.
2. The Controller is the one that receives all these actions caused by the User interaction.
Interface and act accordingly, "If Event X then perform Action Y."
3. The controller then accesses the Model to perform an action depending on the requested event.

information (a query for example).
4. The information is processed in a controlled model and it is the controller responsible for

So far so good, this is the summarized theory.I hope you are well.of what a Pattern is
MVC (Model, View and Controller) but nothing is theory if we do not put it into practice.
Practice, however I must say that the MVC pattern is more common in applications.

All these libraries are included in the download file at the bottom of the page.

What do you need to know?
Intermediate-Advanced Java
MySql Language
Use of Netbeans, the IDE we use for the project (adding libraries, changing properties, etc.)
Use of JasperReport
What do I expect from you?
First, make sure you like the project and learn from it.
That you make constructive criticisms, I don't know everything and I make mistakes, but we learn from errors.
If the project helped you, recommend it.
THE PROJECT
The chosen project for the implementation of the MVC-Java Pattern is the
Program of Subjects of an Imaginary University with the printing of
their respective enrollment.
When starting the system, you must authenticate by providing your CU (University Card) and your CI.
(Identity card), once logged into the system you must schedule yourself, if you are already
scheduled, the system does not allow you to schedule yourself twice, you can only see your
registration and print it, otherwise the system shows you
