What am I required to do in this assignment?

AIM  This assignment aims to develop students’ capabilities and skills of solving real-world problems with C# programming language.    A simple version of the elevator is illustrated below:    TASK DESCRIPTION:    Task 1: To create a GUI which contains (20 marks)  Two request buttons corresponding to the two floors, respectively  One control panel with two buttons and a display window  Two display areas that display the status of the elevator, i.e. which floor the elevator currently stays, one is of each floor  A log button, which triggers the historical information of the elevator operation to be displayed    Task 2: To create a control program that processes the events published by the GUI.  (10 marks) That is,  When any request button is pressed,   the elevator appears on the corresponding floor  then the display areas and the display window on the control panel show the corresponding floor number at the same time  When the floor number buttons on the control panel are pressed,   the elevator appears on the corresponding floor  then the display areas and the display window on the control panel show the corresponding floor number at the same time    Task 3: To create a log that records all operations. (20 marks) That is,  The corresponding status of the elevator and the time information is stored in a database (it can be MS Access or other equivalent databases)  To display the information which has been stored in the database on the GUI    Task 4: To animate the events described in Task 2 using delegation and timer (10 marks)    Task 5: To optimize the programs developed in Tasks 1 to 4. (30 marks) That is,  5.1 Optimise the portability by using a relative path instead of an absolute path   5.2 Optimise the maintainability by avoiding any duplication among the event handlers over the database related functions   5.3 Optimise the robustness by eliminating logical errors and handling exception   5.4 Optimise the efficiency of GUI by implementing multiple tasks concurrently via Background Worker    5.5 The elevator might have more than two floors, apply the “state design pattern” in the program to accommodate future changes of the requirement. The state is expected to be dispatched dynamically rather than determined by if/switch    Task 6: To prepare a test report, the “Marking Matrix with Self-Assessment” table (which is listed at the end of the document) should be included in the report (10 marks)    SUBMISSION:    What to submit – Testing Report and The Entire C# Project Code    The entire C# project including all folders and files, the database, and the test report  Name your submission – Your submission should be named with the following format: studentIDAssignmentOne.zip  Where to submit – Under the assignment 1 folder in the Assessment menu of this Unit’s BREO site, called “Assignment One C#”

Is there a size limit?

There is no limit on the size of the source code.   The testing report should not exceed 3000 words (source code in the report is not counted as part of the word count).

What do I need to do to pass? (Threshold Expectations from UIF)

Design and produce a demonstrable artifact using C# within the .NET using the object-oriented paradigm. Check the marking matrix at the end of the brief for more details.

How do I produce high-quality work that merits a good grade?

Detailed in the marking matrix at the end of the brief.

How does the assignment relate to what we are doing in scheduled sessions?

Implementation of the knowledge and skills delivered from Week 1 to Week 6.

 

 

 

 

 

How will my assignment be marked?

Your assignment is marked according to the threshold expectations and the criteria on the following page.    You can use them to evaluate your own work and estimate your grade before you submit it.

Lower 2nd – 50-59%

Upper 2nd – 60-69%

1st Class – 70%+

Marking Matrix with Self-Assessment 

Task Number	Sub-tasks	Possible Marks	Self-assessment (completed Yes/No)	Reference to your testing report	Mark Awarded
Task 1	Complete GUI for Task 1	10
	Skeleton of event handlers in place for all buttons	10
Task 2	All event handlers are functional	10
Task 3	Database (DB) is designed and can be connected	5
	Log Information can be retrieved from DB and displayed in the GUI	5
	When the log button is pressed, log information is sent to and stored in the DB	5
	Use the disconnected model rather than connected model (Data source is updated via   DataAdapters Update() method instead of  ExecuteNonQuery() method)	5
Task 4	Events described in Task 2 animated using delegation and timer	10
Task 5	Using the relative path instead of an absolute path	5
	Avoiding any duplication among the event handlers over the database related functions	5
	Eliminating logical errors and handling exceptions with try and catch	5
	Optimize the efficiency of GUI by implementing multiple tasks concurrently via BackgroundWorker	5
	Use state patterns instead of if-else statements to accommodate future changes of the requirement	10
Task 6	Test report	10
