CSC 217 Lab 12 Requirements

PackScheduler is a course registration system for a university, similar to the system in MyPackPortal that you use to register for your classes. You’ll work on implementing a system that provides the functionality for admitted students to register for courses that are taught by faculty. The courses will have enrollment caps and waitlists.

For Lab 12, you will add functionality so that a faculty member can see their schedule and the rolls for each course in their schedule

[UC26]. Additionally, [UC17] is unfinished.

A student has a first name, last name, id, email address, password, and max number of credits they can take in a given semester. To protect the student’s information, the student’s password should be hashed using SHA-256 when stored. Note that the hashed values may look different depending on what application you are using to view the input file.

When stored in a text file, a student record is a comma separated list in the following format:

firstName,lastName,id,email,hashedPassword,maxCredits

Invalid Student Records

A student record is invalid in at least the following situations:

  • an item is missing
  • first name is null or an empty string
  • last name is null or an empty string
  • id is null or an empty string
  • email is null or an empty string
  • email doesn’t contain an ‘@’ character
  • email doesn’t contain a ‘.’ character

  • the password is null or an empty string
  • max credits is below 3 or above 18

A course has a course name, course title, section number, number of credit hours, instructor’s unity id, enrollment capacity, meeting days, start time, and end time. When stored in a text file, a course record is a comma separated list in the following format:

courseName,courseTitle,sectionNumber,creditHours,instructorUnityID,enrollmentCap,meetingDays,startTime,endTime

When processing a text file with a faculty’s unity id, the Faculty Directory is searched for a faculty member with the matching id. If the faculty member is found, the course is added to the faculty member’s schedule [UC23] and the instructor id is set for the course. If there is no faculty with the given id in the Faculty Directory, the instructor id is set to null.

A course record is invalid in at least the following situations:

  • an item is missing

  • the enrollment capacity is less than 10 or greater than 250
  • meeting days consist of any characters other than ‘M’, ‘T’, ‘W’, ‘H’, ‘F’, or ‘A’
  • meeting days have a duplicate character

  • the start time is not between 0000 and 2359 an invalid military time
  • the end time is not between 0000 and 2359 or an invalid military time

A faculty has a first name, last name, id, email address, password, and max number of courses they teach in a given semester (i.e., their course load). To protect the faculty’s information, the faculty’s password should be hashed using SHA-256 when stored. Note that the hashed values may look different depending on what application you are using to view the input file.

When stored in a text file, a facutly record is a comma separated list in the following format:

firstName,lastName,id,email,hashedPassword,maxCourses
