Develop a Python program using the object-orientated program paradigm

Task Summary

In groups, develop a Python program using the object-orientated program paradigm. Please refer to the Task Instructions for details on how to complete this task.

Context

Object Orientated Programming (OOP) is one of the most popular programming paradigms. In contrast with procedural programming, OOP uses reusable classes as the building blocks, which are used to create individual instances of objects. OOP developers focus on the interactions and relationships between objects. In this subject, we introduced you to some core concepts of OOP, including classes, objects, instances, encapsulation and inheritance. In this assessment, you will put them together to develop a program using the OOP paradigm, through which you will demonstrate the following knowledge and skills:

• Collaborate with other developers and using OOP to develop a program in parallel.
• OOP design and implementation.
• Understanding the concepts of classes and inheritance.
• Design a program and illustrate the relations and associations through UML Diagram.

Instructions

1. Form groups of 2 – 3 students. Please read attached MIS501_Assessment 2 & 3_Group Formation, Registration and Administration Guidelines document.
2. Please read the attached MIS501_Assessment 3_Business Case Study and complete the assessment tasks.
3. All implementations must be in Python 3 (that is NOT Python 2). Programs implemented in a different language will be marked 0. Programs implemented in Python 2 will be capped at 50% of the available marks.
4. You may only use the language features and syntax taught in Module 1.1 through to Module 6.1. You MUST not use any other language features beyond what was taught by Module 6.1. Penalties apply.
5. You may implement the programs in any IDE of your choice.
6. The program should be provided with adequate and meaning comments.
7. The program must be implemented using OOP. Programs implemented without any OOP will be capped at 30% of the available marks.
8. Your program should be robust. Check for input validity.
   Hint What would you do if user chose option 3 without entering any student information first?
9. Please follow Python Style Guide: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/
   Hint Think about what classes you will need to implement, and which should inherit which. You should not assume that the user will choose the menu options in a sequential order, that is, the user may choose Option 1, enter some user information, then choose 2 >> 2.1 to print them, then back to Option 1 in the main menu to enter more user information.
10. You are strongly advised to read the rubric which is an evaluation guide with criteria for grading the assignment. This will give them a clear picture of what a successful final solution looks like.
11. Peer evaluation
    1. Group participation will constitute the final 10% of the mark for Assessment 3. Participation will be determined as follows:
    2. Each student in the team will evaluate the other members’ contributions using a participation score matrix (see Group Participation Score Matrix attached)
    3. Individually, each team member will assign a “Group participation score” (from 1-5) for each member of the group using the score matrix.
    4. Each student is to assess peers’ contributions according to the Peer Evaluation Grading Scheme.
    5. The participation score matrix submitted by each individual student via the Assessment 3 link at the same time after the Group submission.
    6. The Facilitator will use the average “group participation score” for each member to determine the weighted ‘Teamwork’ criterion row in the final marking rubric for this assessment.
    7. All peer evaluation submissions are confidential not viewed by the other team members.

Academic Integrity Declaration

We declare that except where we have referenced, the work we are submitting for this assessment task is our own work. We have read and are aware of Torrens University Australia Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure viewable online at http://www.torrens.edu.au/policies-and-forms We are aware that we need to keep a copy of all submitted material and their drafts, and we will do so accordingly.

All students are responsible for ensuring that all work submitted is their own and is appropriately referenced and academically written according to the Academic Writing Guide. Students also need to have read and be aware of Torrens University Australia Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure and subsequent penalties for academic misconduct.

These are viewable online.
