CSC 397 Lab Assignment 5

Assigned 15 October 1998

Due 5 November 1998

100 points, 10% of your course grade.

WHAT is the Web-based Hypertext Advisement Tool (no, I didn't come up with the acronym!). It was developed by the Spring 1996 Software Engineering class, as the first ever Web-oriented CSC 450 project. It is easily accessible from the CSC dept web page.

Your are to develop a new graphical user interface for WHAT. Here are the basic requirements.

• Project is to be programmed in Java with AWT. Program should be well-structured like the last one.
• This project will not have the WHAT functionality. There will be no course database. It will not actually compute a schedule (you will need to output a schedule, but the schedule itself can be hardwired).
• The system must include all the features of the current system. You do not need to use the same types of widgets.
• Extend the system to cover all requirements, not just CSC-MTH-PHY. If you do not have a recent copy of the university undergraduate catalog, I can copy the pertinent pages (gen ed page, plus csc dept page).
• Extend the system to allow the user to store their information under a unique ID and retrieve it later.

We'll go with that for now. I reserve the right to add further extensions until October 22.

Submit your solutions to the eccentric upload folder of one team member. Also submit a readme text file explaining its use and any limitations.
