Hello World! I'm talking about a

registration system.

You may have looked up a course and you looked at the...

Different sections to see which one fit in your schedule.

the best, what time it started.

Ended for the course and how many seats were available.

And you may have also clicked on this button to see what the prerequisites for the coursework were.

How many credits and hours and things like that.

Now I want you to look at this system

from the point of view of a systems analyst.

Who are the users of the system?

Of course students are,

But stop to think.

Professor also uses it.

The dean,

the chairperson.

Maybe somebody who's planning new buildings for the campus and things like that.

You also want to ask, where does that data come from? How does it get there? How is that data updated?

What are the processes that are involved?

For instance you may have checked to make sure you met the prerequisites before registering for a class..

But does the system do that? What would happen if you try to register for a class

and didn't meet the prrequisites?

What would happen if you tried to register for a class that was already full?

In addition you may want to try to see

what the data may look like

From the point of view of a different person.

Here's the same data that we looked at earlier.

This is from the point of view of the professor.

The information is arranged in a slightly different order.

We could also click on class list to get the list of the students,

And many other things like that.

That are not available to the students.

So as you look at systems that you are familiar with.

Try to think of it from the point of view of a systems analyst.
