LABAR Project 6
This assignment is to be done during your one hour lab by arrangement (LABAR). This assignment requires you to create a flowchart diagram from the description below. The simple flowchart symbols: start and end symbols, arrows (flow), process, input/output, conditional or decision, as defined in wikipedia are used in this assignment.
You are expected to create an action plan in flowchart based on the following description:
Alice Smith plans to transfer to a 4-year University to study engineering. She will need to pass both the Comsc-105 and Comsc-145 in order to apply. The Computer Science Department of the school offers both classes every semester and allows student to take either course, one at a time, or both at the same time. Alice prefer to take the Comsc-105 in the 2010 Fall semester, then the Comsc145 in the 2011 Spring semester. However, the school has a budget shortfall; some of the classes has been cut but not in the Computer Science Department yet. More budget cut is on the way. If the school budget has to cut another 5%, then the Computer Science Department can only offer one class, Comsc145, in the 2010 Fall Semester. And only the Comsc105 will be offered in the 2011 Spring semester.
Please submit your flowchart work in Word (.doc or .docx file) through webCT-assignment. You can drag and drop the built-in flowchart symbols in Word (Insert -> Shape -> Flowchart) to create your flowchart.
Example
The following description is translated into a flowchart, a logical flow of stages represented by symbols:
"The rain has been pouring for the last few days, and the refrigerator is low in stock. It is not safe to drive around in the rain. It seems the sun is breaking out. I am looking out the window every 10 minitues to see if the rain stops, so I can go shopping to fill up the frige. Then tell all my friends to come and have a party in my home tonight."
Technical Notes:
The Input/Output symbol, the parallelogram, represent activities coming in and going out of the system.
The flow chart always begins at a START symbol and finish with an END symbol, the
round sided horizontal parallels.
The following actions in side the system are represented in PROCESS symbols, the rectangle, for example:
"School Budget Cuts"
"Transfer to a 4-year University."
"The Fridge is low in stock."
"Have a party!"
The Input/Output symbol, the parallelogram, represent information coming in and going out of the system, for example:
"Tell Friends about party tonight."
"Check the School budget cut percentage"
"Check whether the Sun comming out"
The flow connects two boxes and going only one direction.
All boxes can connect to multiple incoming flows.
All boxes can have only one outgoing flow, except the decision box.
The decision box branches the one incoming flow to two or more outgoing flows.
