The Design of General Course-Choosing System in Colleges and Universities

The college credit system allows students to take their own courses according to their own interests and development plans, but since the time for course-choosing is limited and the huge corresponding data requires a large amount of human resources, it is necessary to use computer software for course-choosing. The proposed system follows the complete design flow of computer software. System requirement analysis was done around the core function of the system which is course selection. Based on the system requirement analysis, the system function and the data structure were determined. And then, the system information flow, the code generation algorithm, the back-end database, the course setting algorithm, and the course-choosing algorithm were designed. In addition, a new algorithm for student ID generation is proposed. The student ID generated by this algorithm has simple structure, and also follows the principle of unique, reasonableness and extensibility. Therefore, this course-choosing system could be applied in every college and university.
