Guidelines

• Generative AI (GenAI) tools may be used with prior permission Students may use GenAI for this formative assessment with prior approval for understanding, learning and research purposes only. Using these tools  to write assignments will be considered as academic misconduct and be  penalized. If students are using any of the information from GenAI, then  he/she must cite the use of Gen AI in their assessment.  

More information of using GenAI can be found via the following link: 

• All work must be submitted on Moodle by the due date along with a  completed Assignment Cover Page. 

• The assignment must be in MS Word format, 1.5 spacing, 11-pt Calibri  (Body) font and 2.54 cm margins on all four sides of your page with 

appropriate section headings. 

• Reference sources must be cited in the text of the report, and listed  appropriately at the end in a reference list using IEEE referencing style.

Extension 

• If an extension of time to submit work is required, a Special Consideration  Application must be submitted directly on AMS. You must submit this  application three working days prior to the due date of the assignment.  Further information is available at: 

Academic  

Misconduct

• Academic Misconduct is a serious offense. Depending on the seriousness of  the case, penalties can vary from a written warning or zero marks to  exclusion from the course or rescinding the degree. Students should make  themselves familiar with the full policy and procedure available at: For  further information, please refer to the Academic Integrity Section in your Unit Description.

Assignment Description 

This group assignment is the continuation of Assessment 1 case scenarios, MIT’s Alumni  portal project. Students should form groups of three or four members for this assignment.  The purpose of this assignment is to analyze, design and implement (coding, building, and  testing) the project. 

MIT would like your group writing up a report, which contains the following activities for  designing and developing the Alumni portal: 

1. Product Roadmap to outline a general timeframe (e.g., Gantt Chart) for when your  group will design, develop, and release identified requirements from Assessment 1. 

2. The SRS document (a sample template in Moodle) which contains the following design  elements (using UML notations): 

Identify and draw a use case diagram(s) for MIT’s Alumni portal 

ER diagram with all possible entities and attributes 

State chart diagram(s) 

Sequence diagram(s) 

Class diagram for the entire system with all the attributes, methods, and  associations. 

3. The design document must include layered architecture and implement using the tools and platform of your choice, a software application with a front-end GUI,  middle layer implementing the business logic and backend database. 

4. Your group also requires designing a test specification (test cases) based on the project requirements and implementing (verification) them with evidence. 

The report contents should include the following headings: 

a. Cover page and your group details 

b. Executive Summary (state system overview, system users, and system usability) c. Table of Contents 

d. Introduction 

e. Discussions (expand and explain your group’s supportive arguments) 

f. Conclusion and recommendations 

g. References and appendices 

References 

Must consider at least eight references (with at least five current references – not earlier  than 2020). Must follow the IEEE referencing style. 

Assignment Instructions: 

• Do not use Wikipedia as a source or a reference. 

• Make sure you properly reference.
