  1. Team 9 Presentation 1 February 13, 2003 Calculus Review Project

  2. About Us • Matt Stupca • Court Caldwell • Zach Lute • Alex Kutsenok • Steve Hoelle • Tim Jasko • Chris Scribner

  3. Presentation Overview • Introduction • Our Approach • Progress Made • Requirements Specifications • Design • Lessons Learned • What’s Next • Questions

  4. Introduction Our client: • Dr. Finn from RHIT’s Math Department Our task: • Create an on-line calculus review site • It must contain • notes and other review materials • sample problems and solutions • a forum for students and professors • Allow professors to keep track of student activity on the site

  5. Our Approach • Start with a simple system • provides basic functionality • one area of Calculus • shows previously entered info • no mathematical notation • try to get it done by the end of the quarter • Add features iteratively • all other areas of Calculus • deal with problems and solutions • deal with teacher-student interaction • mathematical notation • recording and displaying statistics

  6. Progress this Quarter Week# EffortCompleted Items 1 795 Meetings, Web Site Up 2 1355 Configuration Management Plan 3 2430 Feasibility Report, UI Prototypes, Project Plan 4 2720 Use Cases 5 1025 Webspace Setup, Reqs. Draft 6 1005 Reqs Specifications 7 1610 Reqs. Update, More Prototypes 8 925 Implementation, Presentation

  7. Other Metrics • 554 lines of code, 12 hours spent on implementation • 114 pages of documentation • 25% of time spent in meetings • 53 hours spent on Requirements Analysis Speaking of Requirements...

  8. Requirements Analysis • Some design before requirements analysis. • Birth of the Content Controller. • Actual requirements analysis was very time consuming. • Consistent documentation template for all requirements analysis documents.

  9. Requirements:Problem Domain Model

  10. Requirements:User Environment and Characteristics • Student • A Rose-Hulman student • Looking for a refresher on calculus material • Seniors taking exams. • Faculty • Rose-Hulman math faculty • Create content and moderate system • Skills • Basic computer skills, • Familiarity with standard internet navigation • Environment • PC with internet connection • Guaranteed to work with Internet Explorer

  11. Requirements:Logical Database • User Profile Database • Frequently accessed • Fast response time • Data integrity important, yet not vital • Topics, Examples, and Practice Problems DB • Frequently accessed • Fast response time • Data integrity vital

  12. Requirements:Maintainability • Problem Adder • Subject Adder • Moderator Controls

  13. Requirements:Security • Forum Controls • Professor Access Limits • Student Access

  14. Requirements:Performance • User Limits • Response Time • Web Page-esque Behavior And now for the design...

  15. Design:Prototypes • Nonfunctional Prototype • Decided on Forum System • Topics and Subtopics • Gaining Information • Asking for Help • Getting Practice Problems • Functional Prototype

  16. Design:Main Page – Topics & Subtopics

  17. Design:Gaining Knowledge in a Forum

  18. Design:Asking for Help and Answering

  19. Design:Practice Problem Database

  20. Things We Learned • Shorter meetings are better than long ones • Rushed meetings are worse than leisurely meetings • Communication through e-mail and the forum is a good idea • Doing things ahead of time reduces stress and errors • Separation of Church and State (Requirements Analysis and Design)

  21. What’s Next? • Dealing with math notation • Problems and Solutions • Implementing the Student/Teacher Interaction System • User profile tracking • Executing the Test Plan • Do we have a quality product? • Does our quality product do what it is supposed to?
