Bachelor Thesis , 2020 , 47 Pages , Grade: 87.2

Computer Science - Software

This final year project is the central part of the educational administration system for Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology (NUIST), which allows students to select courses and gives students access to course offerings via online as well as the ability to complete various administrative functions allowing for a better management of curriculum decisions in the context of academic objectives. The objective of these systems is to make this process more convenient and easier to achieve which has been met with varying levels of success. This Course Selection Portal will be operated by three users, the administrator, students and lecturers. This system will be developed using PHP, MySQL, jQuery, HTML, JavaScript, CSS and Bootstrap. The front-end is designed using PHP with excerpts of code written using jQuery, HTML, JavaScript, CSS and Bootstrap. The back-end is designed and managed through MySQL using a software called WAMP Server. This system software is more secured, user-friendly and less time-consuming.
