Lotus Student Management System 📘

The Lotus Student Management System is a console-based application built with C# to manage student, course, and teacher-related operations. This project demonstrates the principles of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) such as encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction, along with a layered architecture for improved code organization and scalability.

Project Structure 🏗️

The application follows a layered architecture for better separation of concerns:

1. Presentation Layer

   • Handles user interaction and input/output via the console interface.
   • Provides menus for navigating the system.

2. Business Layer

   • Contains the logic for handling core operations such as student enrollment, GPA updates, and course management.

3. Data Layer

   • Manages data storage and retrieval within the application.
   • Implements in-memory data handling (no external database).

4. Models

   • Defines the core objects of the system such as Student, Teacher, and Course.
   • Implements properties and methods for each model.

5. Helpers

   • Provides utility functions for validation and input handling.
