Relative to Assignment 1

Relative to your answer in Assignment 1.... What’s your take on the design of the enrollment system?


As we all know that the issue of our enrollment system is the talk of the town or rather the main example of our discussions in SAD. The main thing is that all my experiences since the day I came in this University pertaining to the enrollment system of the university was satisfactory to the length that the enrollment system did change and did improve. As we all know that the University's enrollment system was one of the problems that the university is facing. The administration tried to improve the enrollment system of the University. As I stayed in this University I still have some hard time in enrolling myself in the school. Even if I am already a senior in this University still I really haven’t mastered the system yet. Although I already know the things or shall we say the processes in the enrollment system, there are still cases that confuses me. And also the time for the whole enrollment process would take me so much of the time.

So my suggestion for the design of the enrollment system?

Basically, my suggestion is simple. First is to make a formal planning among the developers of the new enrollment system. Planning is the key to all success. Planning to fail is not an option rather to plan not to fail. So planning starts with what will be the requirement, and what will be the wanted output. So if it is all set, then proceed to further study and analysis on the requirements. What are the things that are needed to be done. What are the steps in acquiring the said requirement. What are the possible way to improve the system. So, further analysis is needed to be done in order to attain the said requirement. After the analysis, go to design. So for the design, make it very simple and understandable by the users. Don’t make it complicated, just simple processes and very important processes. Eliminate unnecessary processes that would not be very relevant to the enrollment system such as to many fees to pay, why make it into one payment for better and faster process. And also, there should be one booth per department so that the process of all transactions will be more efficient especially in the finance department. So to add in the design they should be more man power for more coverage of the processes. So basically, the main thing is that, do the following things; plan, analyze, and design in order to attain the goal. But, support from the administration is also the key to have a better enrollment system for the university. So basically that’s it. Thanks..
