Inconsistencies and Resolutions

Inconsistencies and Resolutions Redundancy in ‘Instructor’ feature with ‘Add Homework’ and ‘Add Project’ can be combined to be ‘Add Assignment’ and ‘Submit Assignment.’ Instructor may want to have an ‘Add Quiz’ feature in addition to ‘Add Exam.’ This would coincide with the ‘Get Report’ feature, which is able to generate progress reports to incorporate quizzes. ‘Add Homework/Project’ and ‘Submit Homework/Project’ are functionally equivalent. Combining these functions would solve the redundancy. While the instructor can submit a lecture, there is no functionality for the student view the lecture. This is solved by adding a feature that allows the students to view the lecture.

Inconsistencies Continued While the instructor can submit assignments, there is no feature for the student to view the assignment. This is solved by adding a function that allows the student to view the assignment. There is no functionality for the instructor to remove a class if no one enrolls, adding a functionality of removing the class allows the instructor remove obsolete classes. The instructor can add assignments, quizzes, and exams, but if he/she changes her mind and wants to remove them, there is no functionality to do this. Adding remove quiz, assignment, etc. functionalities alleviates this issue.
