Task details
What you need to do: 1. Read the Criterion-Referenced Assessment Rubric at the end of this document.
2. Read Case 2 (provided below), which relates to the Class Diagram and FMC Diagram.
3. Draw a Class Diagram for the system described in Case 2 – Etsy Online Store:
a) Focus on the classes relevant to product posting (sellers) product search, selection and ordering (customers), and payment (sellers & customers).
b) It may help to start by writing a description of the processes that include the above elements in order to draw out the nouns.
c) Identify around 15 classes (not including sub-classes) related to the new system that are essential for the functionality of the system in terms of the processes relevant to product posting, product search, selection & ordering, and payment. Put these classes into your Class Diagram.
d) You need to mention four to six attributes and at least two operations/methods for each class in the class diagram.
e) Show the correct relationships between classes (association, generalization, composition, aggregation) and include multiplicity for more than half of the relationships you draw (multiplicity may not make sense to include in all of the relationships in your diagram).
f) Out of all the classes in your diagram, pick four (4) that you think would most benefit from justification, and:
i) List three example instances of the class (objects) – describe these examples in terms of their individual attributes and operations
ii) Explain the association(/s) of the class with other class(/es)
4. Draw an FMC Diagram for Case 2 – Etsy Online Store. Follow the conventions set out in the lectures and tutorials by accurately representing elements of the system using appropriate shapes and labels, including: a) Agents
b) Storage
c) Channels
d) Nesting
To restrict scope, represent only the purchase process, i.e., the following elements of the system: a) List product (seller)
b) Search and select a product (customer)
c) Complete an order (incl. payment)
d) Provide feedback on order
Keep in mind that you will need to make decisions about the balance of detail/clarity of your diagram (i.e., it needs to include enough detail to appropriately represent the above elements, but not too much that the diagram is overly complicated or unclear). It is expected that you are able to demonstrate proficiency in determining this balance.
5. Write a short (1 paragraph) description of your FMC Diagram. Imagine you are presenting it to a set of stakeholders and you need to introduce what it is showing and what the important parts of it are.
6. Reflect on what you have learnt about Systems Analysis and Design in this unit. Summarise your reflections in a short video presentation (no more than 6 minutes in length). Reflect and briefly talk about:
a) For each team member: Briefly speak about how you can use what you have learnt in either your current or future career. This not only refers to the content but also what you have learnt about working in teams or learning independently (proactively) as part of this unit. (1 minute per group member)
b) Where each of the techniques you have learnt sit within various stages of the System Development Life Cycle (this can be presented as one slide that you refer to as you talk – either one person in your group can talk to this slide, or you can do so together). (2-3 minutes)
7. Save your submission and cover page as a single PDF, with a link to the video either in Vimeo, YouTube, OneDrive, dropbox, etc. (ensure sharing permissions are granted) OR in a zip file with the video file and a single PDF including both of your diagrams (although, share link is preferred)
Presentation requirements: This assessment task must be formatted in the following way:
• 12 point font
• All diagrams large enough to be legible
• Videos can be either recorded in one take (live), a screen recording of a Zoom meeting in which all group members present, or edited together from separate videos recorded by each of the group members. Note that all group members must present in the video.
• Please note that the video is to be no longer than 6 minutes in total. If it goes over this time by more than 10 seconds, the marker will only mark what is provided in the video up until the 6 minute mark.
• If referencing outside material, use APA referencing.
Use the following naming convention for your PDF submission:
“Firstname_Lastname_IFN552Assessment2_Day-Month-Year”
Only submit 1 (one) assignment per group. Choose one person in the group to submit the assignment, and ensure that you are all happy with the final version before it is submitted.
Ensure you include a cover page including:
• Your name
• Your group member’s names
• The name of your tutor
Resources needed to complete task:
• IFN552 Blackboard site
• Attendance in tutorials
Case 2
This case is based on a real business: Etsy (https://www.etsy.com/au/). Etsy is an online marketplace that caters for customers in search of unique items. It provides a platform for sellers to connect with buyers, and makes money from fees on payments processed via purchases made on the platform. It features a constantly updating catalogue of items that are posted by sellers, through which buyers can browse and search. The purchase process can be explored without a login, nor a purchase being made. The selling process can be explored by going through the details on this page: https://www.etsy.com/au/sell?ref=ftr . We suggest you explore both aspects of the platform in order to complete this assignment (note: we do not require you to make any purchases or to post anything – you should be able to gather all the information you need by looking through the site and stepping through the available purchase steps without entering any payment or login details).
Submission Information
What you need to submit: One PDF document that contains the following items:
1. Cover page
2. Class Diagram with description
3. FMC Diagram with description
4. Reflection video in an mp4 file or a link via a video sharing platform (no more than 6 minutes long)
How to submit: This assessment is to be submitted digitally through Turnitin on Blackboard. Submissions that are received via any other medium (e.g. email) will not be marked.
As this is a group assessment, only one individual in each team should submit the assignment to the Blackboard for the whole team.
1. Access the Turnitin Submission link View/Complete
2. Click on the Submit button
3. Give the submission a title, select the correct file and click Upload.
4. Click Confirm.
5. Click Return to Assignment list
6. ALWAYS check your student email for the submission receipt.
7. Send confirmation to your other team members that the assignment has been submitted.
Moderation All staff who are assessing your work meet to discuss and compare their judgements before marks or grades are finalised.
Non-productive team members If a team member is non-productive, anti-social or not actively engaged for a period of 7 days from the formation of the group, that team member may be removed from the team at the discretion of the teaching team with provided evidence of non-engagement. The team member must then complete the assignment individually, and will forfeit a proportion of the reflection component marks, as the requirement for this is to reflect as a team.
Academic Integrity
As a student of the QUT academic community, you are asked to work to uphold the principles of academic integrity during your course of study. QUT sets expectations and responsibilities of students, more specifically it states that students “adopt an ethical approach to academic work and assessment in accordance with this policy and the Student Code of Conduct. E/2.1 (MOPP C/5.3 Academic Integrity).
At university, students are expected to demonstrate their own understanding and thinking using the ideas provided by ‘others’ to support and inform their work, always making due acknowledgement to the source. While we encourage peer learning, it is not appropriate to share assignments with other students unless your assessment piece has been stated as being a group assignment. If you do share your assignment with another student, and they copy part of or all of your assignment for their submission, this is considered collusion and you may also be reported for academic misconduct. If you are unsure and need further information you can find this at: http://www.mopp.qut.edu.au/C/C_05_03.jsp#C_05_03.03.mdoc.
