Section 1: Product Overview and Summary
Students learn best through practice and application of course materials. Generation Java will provide students with the ability to practice, complete homework assignments, take quizzes and tests, in an input based web application that will compile and run the studentŐs Java code for instantaneous feedback. Instructors will be able to create question sets and allow student access as well as being able to offer more practice for students. Administrators will manage and update, and maintain this application management system.
Section 2: Subprogram Interface Specifications
The modules included with Generation Java are the System Administrator, the Program Administrator, Instructor, and the Student. These four modules or users work independently of one another, while some of the data they create is shared through the database. Each user does their specific tasks to create the desired outcome of functionality from Generation Java.
