Java Programming Fundamentals - Assessment

It's time to see how much you learned about Java and Object Oriented Programming.

Part 1: Understanding the StudentGen project

1. Download the source code and import the project using IntelliJ Idea or any other IDE you prefer.
2. Understand the project stucture:

• Packages
• Classes
• Functionality

3. Run and test the project to get a deeper undertanding of how it works (remember the persistence mindset!).

Part 2: Implementing the Student and StudentService missing features

1. Open the Student class (src/com/generation/model/Student.java) and implement the following methods:

 public void enrollToCourse( Course course )
 {
     //TODO implement this method
 }
 
 public boolean isCourseApproved( String courseCode )
 {
     //TODO implement this method
     return false;
 }

 public boolean isAttendingCourse( String courseCode )
 {
     //TODO implement this method
     return false;
 }
 @Override
 public List<Course> getApprovedCourses()
 {
     //TODO implement this method
     return null;
 }

2. Open the StudentService class (src/com/generation/service/StudentService.java) and implement the following methods:

    public boolean isSubscribed( String studentId )
    {
        //TODO implement this method
        return false;
    }

    public void showSummary()
    {
        //TODO implement
    }

Hint: To show the summary use System.out.println() to print out to the console.

Part 3: Implementing the missing main method features

1. Implement the method to gradeStudent( StudentService studentService, Scanner scanner ) in src/com/generation/Main.java to have a fully functional program.

2. Test the program to verify it works as expected:

• Create a new student.
• Enrroll the student to few courses.
• Grade the student.
• Show the students and courses summary and verify that data is correct.

Part 4: Handling exceptions

1. Register a new user providing a wrong date format.
2. Modify the createStudentMenu so it handles correctly the exception when a wrong date format is inserted by the user.
3. Catch the exception and show a proper message to the user.

Part 5: Writing Unit Tests

1. Write 2 Unit tests for the class StudentService
2. Write 2 Unit tests for the class CourseService

Challenge Yourself

1. Implement a way to store grades for each course a student is taking. There should be a way to update/set the score. Afterwards, fill in the public List<Course> findPassedCourses( Course course ) method in Student.java
2. Implement an additional feature in the menu options that will display the average grade of all the students suscribed to a given course.
