    Design and Implementation of a Responsive Secure Student Case Grading System for An Academic Affairs Directorate in a University.
    (Kampala International University, School of Computing and Information Technology, 2011-04) Kaburu, M. Lewis; Odoyo, Agnes Akomo
    Online semester defer application system is basically customized to the directorate of academic affairs in any university. Students are expected to log into the university’s website and apply for semester or year they would wish to defer by filling an application form. Thereafter the director of academic affairs who is solely responsible for approving students’ applications retrieves their respective details from the university’s database and verifies as to whether the approval would be genuine or not. The directorate approves or denies approval via a customized java desktop application based in the office of the directorate. The directorate then should respond to students by sending them electronic mails on the same through their captured e-mail addresses in the database. After approval to the university’s database the information can thus be shared within relevant departments for instance by using Microsoft office excel spreadsheets which primarily are currently in use in the university. This document is a report of the project entitled student case grading System. It shows the steps and stages the researcher took in the implementation process laid down in chapters. The report first introduces the project explaining the background and scope of the project. The topics investigated to write the literature review included but not limited to; what is a Students case grading System and functions of the student’s case grading system. The methodology used in the research highlights the research design, the target and sample population, the sampling procedures and techniques used plus the procedure for collection and analysis of findings. The report also covers and outlines the comprehensive activities the researcher undertook in the design stage giving out diagrammatic representations of different designs. Generally, it simplifies the whole process of semester defer application compared to the manual process of application, approval and response waiting.
