2.3.3. Modifying Students

In this scenario, we take a look at how a user modifies students, via the 'Student' menu commands. Modifying students allows a user to search an individual student and modify the student's course, group, and contact information. Figure 1 shows a sample class that is ready to search for a student to modify.


Figure 1: Sample Class.



To modify a student, the user chooses the 'Student' menu command. A list of options appears and the user chooses 'Manage Students' to bring up a dialog for student modification and management; this takes the form of the following, Figure 2.

The dialog response has a dropdown list at the top, as well as a search bar to select students in a list or search for them by their name or EMPL ID. Figure 3 shows the response to the users selection of the 'Student Manage Students' command.

Below the dropdown list and search bar are fields for a Student name, EMPL ID, nickname, group, email, and phone number and are confirmed with the 'Confirm' button below. Editing these fields edits the information associated with the student in the course, what group they're in, and how to contact them. Figure 4 shows data being input into these fields.

Upon selecting the 'Confirm' button, the system displays the spreadsheet in Figure 5, with any changes added. The only changes that are be displayed in the spreadsheet are changes to the name, EMPL ID, and nickname for a student.

Repeating these functions for modifying students allows a user to tweak student data to be represented and organized in a way that they better understand and keep track of.
