Coursework 2
Recently, there is no any proper application to monitor the employee attendance in most
of the companies of Nepal. Most of the companies and organization still uses the
traditional paper-based system to manage the attendance of their staff members. To
overcome the traditional paper-based system this system is introduced.

Introduction
This report documents the Attendance Management Application that we have designed
as a Coursework for this module named Application Development. The system that we
have designed is a web application which is based on Attendance Management System
for tracking student’s attendance. The application is designed using the ASP.NET
platform.
As ASP.NET platform has many features, it is popular among web developers. So, the
various reasons of ASP.NET being popular is given below:
With the motive of taking advantages, ASP.NET was selected to be the Server-Side
Framework for the project. For the application, we have made full use of ASP.NET
page life cycle methods such as “Postback” and “AutoPostBack” for designing a
dynamic as well as user friendly web application.
On the other hand, the system is designed using Microsoft SQL, for the sake of storing
and retrieving user data. For this project, Microsoft Visual Studio was selected as the
preferred IDE because the community edition is accessible free of cost and is great
for students like us who intend to make use of IDE for learning purpose and not
commercial purpose. Not only this, it is considered as the standard go-to IDE for
ASP.NET projects due to the availability of large online support facility and presence
of several packages and libraries.
The technologies used in our project are also broadly accepted as standards for
developing vibrant and user-friendly web-based management systems like Hospital
Management System, School Management System and many more.
1. Enables the user to enroll student to the specific course like Computing, Networks
and IT Security, Business Administration etc. that offer by the college.
2. Enables the user to enter detail of the lecturers and tutors. Assign modules to the
lecturer and tutor.
3. Enables the user to create timetable at the beginning of the semester.
4. Enables the user to assign modules (classes) to the students.
5. Enables the lecturer or tutor to keep record of the student attendance. The
attendance status in which P stands for Presence in which late grace is only 5
minutes. Similarly, L stands for late presence in the class and A stands for not
attending the whole class.
6. The system can generate the different report which includes the student’s name in
increasing order by enrol date and can filter by enrolled courses.
7. Enables user to filter lecturers and tutors base on modules taken for current
semester.
8. Enables a user to view student’s daily, weekly and monthly attendance report.
Furthermore, user can view the monthly and weekly attendance summary report
of individual student.
9. Can generate all lecturers and tutors with all their details (name, contact no, email
address and assign modules for current semester) and total teaching hours per
week.
10. Enables the user to produce a list of all students who have not attend any classes
in a week.

Summit’s major contribution in this project lies in the area of Coding. Summit developed
the base on top of which the application is entirely built. He contributed the group in
formulating ER diagram and database design thorough suggestions and feedbacks. Then
after, his major contribution was developing Create, Read, Update as well as Viewing
Functionalities for User page, Adding Detail Page for Student, Teacher, Class, Module
and Course. Likewise, Summit was responsible in creating all the procedures relating to
Create, Update, read and delete functionalities in the aforementioned pages.
Summit was responsible for designing the Home page implementing the design for the
index page. He was also responsible in applying Validation in all the text boxes in the
aforementioned pages. He was also responsible in creating drop down lists in
aforementioned pages and handling of value sent through drop down lists. He was also
responsible in applying exception handling in the all the pages except the Dashboard. He
was also responsible in implementing asp date picker in required pages and also
validation of dates. He also assisted the group in documentation relating to Introduction
section, User Manual Section and Testing Section.
In this project, the work of Nikit was to create a system that allows the user to assign
classes to the students. He also made the system able to allow the lecturer or tutor to
keep record of the student attendance. Not only this, he also introduced attendance status
such as status ‘P’ for students who have come into class on time or before 5 minutes late
grace from the start of the class, status ‘L’ for those students who arrive class after grace
time and status ‘A’ for those students who do not attend the class.
He also addressed the team members about the changes he made in the system. After
carrying those tasks, the Team Leader Summit checked those functions on whether it is
working correctly or not. Not only this, he also made the system generate different reports.
i.e. list all students enroll at the college with student’s name in increasing order by enroll
date and also allow to filter by enrolled courses.
Nikit also made the system flexible by making it able to filter lecturers and tutors on the
basis of modules taken for current semester. Lastly, he also made the system able to
view student’s daily, weekly and monthly attendance report and updated the system on
giving allowance to the user to view the monthly and weekly attendance summary report
of individual student.
Bibek’s work at the beginning of the project was to create and consolidate weekly
assignments and documentation. All of the members helped with the creation of these
assignments. Bibek also worked with Summit to create business rules, normalization and
ER diagram while interpreting and communicating ideas between the team members.
For development Bibek helped Summit with creating the complex page by providing some
stored procedures to implement checking of teacher module and classes. Bibek worked
from the latter part of the coursework question (8 to 10). This included the creation of a
page which allows users to view student’s daily, weekly and monthly attendance report.
Moreover, this part allows user to view the monthly and weekly attendance summary
report of individual student. The remaining of the part include the lecturers and tutors with
all the detail including name, contact no., email address and assigned modules for the
current semester including total teaching hours per week. Including this his portion
includes the list which shows the lists for students who have not attended any classes in
a week.
For documentation, Bibek created the Class diagrams, wrote the Purposes of Classes
and Method and Properties Description for each class. Bibek also defined the report
formatting and consolidated individual contributions to a single report.
Oskar’s major work for this project involves the front end designing of the system. In the
beginning Summit designed the initial graphical summary of the major pages contained
in the system. Oskar also worked with Bibek to create the ER diagram and define the
business rules along with the normalization of the database.
For the development, Oskar created the login page, implemented the logout functionality,
integrated the Create, Read, Update and Delete (CRUD) operation for items page,
developed the reset password page working together with Summit. Oskar was also
responsible in creating the procedure for login authentication and for create, read, update
and delete functionalities of the pages mentioned. Oskar was also responsible for the
routing authorization for restricting unauthorized users to access the user type and user
details pages as well as alert the users with the important alerts when the user logs in to
the system.
Oskar handled the final design of every pages in the system and made the pages
responsive using bootstrap. Oskar also designed the logo for the using Photoshop.
Finally, Oskar assisted in the documentation on the sections Instruction to run the
Program and Description of the solution design implemented in the project.
The first hurdle that we had to tackle was selecting the right Group members whose skills
would complement each other. Since the requirement was such that each group should
have 4 group members, we began to discuss amongst ourselves to form a formidable
group. Nikit had good grasp of database concepts and presentation skills while also being
adept in consolidating the group. Bibek’s skill set included good designing and coding
skills whereas Oskar had got beautiful designing skill along with idea on perfect
documenting of a project. Summit would bring in coding and logic skills while also playing
his role in keeping the project on track with the deadlines.
This challenge faced during this project has indeed taught us many things. The biggest
take away from this project has to be the Project Management skills. As we implemented
Slack, a collaborative tool used for communication with project members, our confidence
regarding the use of such professional tools has indeed increased. Also, since we
implemented Git and Github for project and task management, we learnt various relevant
concepts in Git such as Merge conflicts, the knowledge of which was impossible to gain
while working in a solo project.
This project has also helped us to sharpen our Database skills. Since the DBMS software
such as MS SQL server was entirely new to us, a healthy learning curve was achieved
throughout the project. Also, previously we were unaware of relevant concepts such as
Attendance Management System. However, after development of this project, we must
admit that we are more comfortable with concepts of stored procedures, SQL Server,
SQL data modeler and Visual Studio amongst other technologies and concepts.
It is also worthy to mention that this project has helped each of us to further sharpen our
Programming and debugging skills. Each and every questionnaire in the project had
something new for us to learn. While solving various bugs that arose during the
development phase, our debugging and problem-solving skills were also enhanced
alongside. Lastly, we would like to thank the module Leader Mr. Ishwor Sapkota for his
valuable guidance and feedbacks. We also express our sincere gratitude towards London
Metropolitan University for providing us with a wonderful learning opportunity &
experience.
