CASE STUDY
The State of State Universities
As a result of the drastic cuts by the Ministry of Education in its operating budget over the years, management of state universities have raised tuition fees to be paid annually by both local and foreign students.
Five years ago, the cost of education at the university was a negotiation with local and foreign students; now it has become very expensive to pursue university education. An immediate consequence is the sharp decline in applications for admission to the universities. Since funding a university is directly linked to enrolment figures, universities try to maintain their enrolment levels but in case of any shortfall, they reach deep into their pool of applications to consider some less-qualified students.
The increase in the cost of obtaining a university degree has caused legislators, parents, and students to do a needs assessment of the courses offered by the universities. Parents and students are particularly concerned with value for the money they invest in education. They are also interested in the perception fuelled by the numerous media reports about the poor quality of teaching in the universities. They question why faculty members would abandon their work to graduate students and teaching assistants who are so over worked. For this reason, the Legislature’s committee on Higher Education has been tasked to hold “outcomes assessment programs” to determine how well state universities are working towards achieving their core mandate of producing high quality graduates.
In addition, a huge number of eligible students are expected to gain admission to the universities this year. Key members of the Government have told the universities that they will be expected to absorb additional students within the next decade. Also, because of the budgetary constraints, they have been told not to expect any increase in funding to cater for new facilities such as classrooms and for faculty. In effect, they will be expected to manage with their existing facilities. This is not to say that Government is unaware of the infrastructural deficit and work load of faculties in comparison to universities elsewhere. In fact, Government often cites the example of universities which are able to accommodate extra students by keeping to a time-bound period of four years and reducing the contact hours in some cases.
This entire scenario has compelled a university’s Vice Chancellor, Prof. Kojo Boateng to consider retiring. He has summarized the problems to his administration as “having to do more or better with little.”
One of the first things he did to address these problems was to set up a number of committees made up of faculty and administrators to brainstorm on various topics. Among topics discussed by the committees were: quality education, educational success, graduation rates, success rates in courses (i.e. the percentage passes and failures), teaching, time of graduation, faculty issues, student-issues, facilities, class scheduling, admissions, and classroom space.
Each of the committees included faculty in Management, I.T. and Marketing. These committees noted that many of the problems facing the university could be solved with the principles and practices of the Total Quality Management (TQM) approach. These suggestions have appealed to the Vice Chancellor and the academic staff.

1-Based on marketing perspectives, discuss possible marketing tools in your estimation that can be used by university administrators to influence the customer (in this case students/ parents and all stakeholders) about the image of state universities for general student enrolment.

2 Demonstrate how best state universities can benefit from international quality standards using ISO 9000: 2015.
3. Discuss how you will use strategic quality planning in managing the quality of state universities.

I. General Description In this assignment, you will create a Java program to read undergraduate and graduate students from an input file, and write them in reverse order to an output file. 1. The input file name and the output file name are passed in as the first and second arguments at command line, respectively. For example, assume your package name is FuAssign5 and your main class name is FuAssignment5, and your executable files are in “C:\Users\2734848\eclipse-workspace\CIS 265 Assignments\bin”. The following command line will read from a local file “students.txt” and write to a local file “students_reversed.txt”: C:\Users\2734848\eclipse-workspace\CIS 265 Assignments\bin > java FuAssign5.FuAssignment5 students.txt students_reversed.txt 2. You need to specify the command line arguments if you use jGrasp or Eclipes. I will show you on jGrasp on Wed. during the lab. 3. The parameter String[] args in the main method contains the command line arguments, where args[0] contains the first argument. For example, in the previous command, args[0] contains students.txt, and args[1] contains students_reversed.txt. 4. If the program is run with incorrect number of arguments, your program must print an error message and exit. The error message must show correct format to run your program, e.g., “Usage: FuAssign5.FuAssignment5 input_file output_file” where FuAssign5 is the package and FuAssignment5 is the main class. 5. Each line in the input file represents a student. There are 5 fields in each line: name, id, gpa, “graduate” or “undergraduate”, isTransfer (for undergraduate) or college (for graduate). The fields are separated by comma, “,”. For example, the input file students.txt file may contain: Michelle Chang,200224,3.3,graduate,Cleveland State University Tayer Smoke,249843,2.4,undergraduate,false David Jones,265334,2.7,undergraduate,true Abby Wasch,294830,3.6,graduate,West Virginia 6. The program will read the lines and create undergraduate students or graduate students accordingly. The students are added to an ArrayList. 7. The program then writes the list of students in reserve order to the output file. 8. Given the previous input file students.txt, the output file, students_reserved.txt, will be: Abby Wasch,294830,3.6,graduate,West Virginia David Jones,265334,2.7,undergraduate,true Tayer Smoke,249843,2.4,undergraduate,false Michelle Chang,200224,3.3,graduate,Cleveland State University II. Implementation Requirements The program must implement a main class and three student classes (Student, UndergradStudent, GradStudent). • You may reuse the code from previous assignments. 2 • However, the Student class must be declared as an abstract class now. It must also have an overloaded printStudent(PrintWriter output) method. The method will write student’s information to the output file using the PrintWriter output. • Accordingly, the UnderGradStudent and GradStudent classes must also have an overloaded printStudent(PrintWriter output) method. They must use the superclass’ method to write student’s information. The UnderGradStudent’s printStudent(PrintWriter output) writes “undergraduate” and isTransfer after that. The GradStudent’s printStudent(PrintWriter output) writes “graduate” and college after that. • The UML class diagram should be as follows. • All classes must be in the same package. The package name must start with your last name. For example, if your last name is “Trump”, your package name must start with “Trump” such as “TrumpCIS265AS3”, “TrumpAS3”, etc. • You main class file name must start with your last name. For example, if your last name is “Fu”, your main class file name must start with “Fu” such as FuAssignment5.java. • Since I/O exceptions are checked exceptions, your program must handle exceptions. You may use the try/catch or throw IOException. To throw exceptions, you declare it as: public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { • You must create an ArrayList of Students in the main class: import java.util.ArrayList; ArrayList students = new ArrayList<>(); The ArrayList students will store all Student objects created, both undergraduate students and graduate students. • The Student class must have a constructor that takes a name, an id, and a gpa, to create a Student object. • The UndergradStudent class must have a constructor that takes a name, an id, a gpa, and a transfer status to create an UndergradStudent object. The constructor must call the Student’s constructor using super. • The GradStudent class should must a constructor that takes a name, an id, a gpa, and a college to create a GradStudent object. The constructor must call the Student’s constructor using super. Student -name: String -id: int -gpa: float +Student() +Student(name,id,gpa) +pringStudent():void +getID():int +printStudent(PrintWriter output):void UndegradStudent -boolean: isTransfer +UndergradStudent(name,id,gpa,isTransfer) +pringStudent():void +printStudent(PrintWriter output):void GradStudent -college:String +GradStudent(name,id,gpa,college) +pringStudent():void +printStudent(PrintWriter output):void 3 • The Student class must have a public method printStudent(PrintWriter output) that writes the student’s name, id, and gpa to the PrintWriter output. • The UndergradStudent class must override the printStudent(PrintWriter output) method. It must write the student’s name, id, gpa, and transfer status to the PrintWriter output. It should call the Student’s printStudent(PrintWriter output) to write student’s name, id, and gpa. • The gradStudent class must override the printStudent(PrintWriter output) method. It must write the student’s name, id, gpa, and college to the PrintWriter output. It should call the Student’s printStudent(PrintWriter output) to write student’s name, id, and gpa. • Your program must use dynamic binding to invoke the correction printStudent(PrintWriter output) method. • Your program must close both input and output files after they are done. • You can assume that input file has the correct format. You will earn bonus points for handling incorrect input formats. III. Submission This is an individual assignment. Each student needs to submit the source code files of the Java program on Blackboard. 1. Put all you Java files in a folder. Please name the folder after your package name, for example, FuAssign5. Compress the folder into a .zip file and submit the .zip file. 2. You need to only submit the source code, i.e., the Java files. 3. You may submit multiple time. Your most recent submission before the deadline will be graded. IV. Grading 1. A program that does not run will receive 0 point. 2. There is a 10-20 points deduction for each major error, e.g., missing a student in the output. 3. There is a 1-9 points deduction for each minor error, e.g., a spelling error in printed message. 4. A program that does not follow the guidelines will lose 1-10 points. 5. Any type of cheating is not tolerated. You may be asked to explain your program in person. V. Bonus features (optional) If a line in the input file has incorrect format, your program will print an error message with the line, skip the line and continue. The following are possible formatting errors your program can handle: 1. (2 points) if the line does not have 5 fields; 2. (2 points) if the id is not an integer; 3. (2 points) if the gpa is not a float; 4. (2 points) if the 4th field is not “undergraduate” or “graduate”; 5. (2 points) if the 5th field for an undergraduate student is not true or false. For example, for the following lines in the input file, Sam Jackson,215.22,3.9,graduate,Ohio State University Sam Jackson,215443,22af,graduate,Ohio State University Sam Jackson,215443,3.9,graduate Sam Jackson,215443,3.9,graduate,Ohio State University,cleavland Sam Jackson,215443,3.9,nondegree,Ohio State University Lady Gaga,230940,3.1,undergraduate,unknown 4 You program will print : Invalid input: Sam Jackson,215.22,3.9,graduate,Ohio State University Invalid input: Sam Jackson,215443,22af,graduate,Ohio State University Invalid input: Sam Jackson,215443,3.9,graduate Invalid input: Sam Jackson,215443,3.9,graduate,Ohio State University,cleavland Invalid input: Sam Jackson,215443,3.9,nondegree,Ohio State University Invalid input: Lady Gaga,230940,3.1,undergraduate,unknown The incorrect lines will be ignored and not written to the output file.

Write a program that removes a target item (a string) from a list of strings, and
that will print out the list without the item. Do not use built-in functions other than
input, print, and append. Instead, you may generate a new list that does not
include the target item and you can use the append() function. Your program
should read two inputs: the target and the list. For example, if the input is “apple”
and the list is [‘berry’, ‘apple’, ‘pear’, ‘orange’], the outputs should be [‘berry’,
‘pear’, ‘orange’] .

Question:

Rotate and sort the list:-  

In this problem, you have to first implement a singly linked list whose each node should have the following attributes,

● key - a positive integer

● next - address/pointer/reference to the next node in the linked list You will receive Q1 queries of following types,

● 1 x - Append a node to the linked list whose key should be x. After appending, print, in a new line, the key of each node in the linked list separated by a single space.

● 2 x - Delete the node in the linked list whose key is x.If such a node is not present in the linked list, no changes should be made. After this, print, in a new line, the key of each node in the linked list separated by a single space. The deleted node, if any, should be added in another linked list. Then you will receive Q2 queries of the following type,

● k - The linked list should be rotated towards right by |k| steps if k > 0, otherwise the linked list should be rotated towards left by |k| steps. k will always be an integer. Once all of the above Q2 queries are done, print, in a new line, the key of each node in the linked list separated by a single space. Then you have to merge the two linked lists together after sorting (by key), each of them using the merge sort algorithm. Once done, print in a new line, the key of each node in the linked list separated by a single space. Note that the linked list in the end should also be sorted by key.

Input Format - The first line will contain a positive integer, Q1 , following which there will be Q1 lines containing queries as described above. Then the very next line will contain a positive integer Q2 following which will be Q2 lines containing queries as described above.

Output Format - Q1 + 2 lines with space separated values of the key of each node in the linked list as explained above.

Constraints ● 0 < Q1 < 1000

● 0 < Q2 < 10000

● 0 < key, x < 1000

● -100 < k < 100

Use Java programming to implement the following:

Implement the following methods in the UnorderedList class for managing a singly linked list that cannot contain duplicates.

  • Default constructor
    Create an empty list i.e., head is null.
  • boolean insert(int data)
    Insert the given data into the end of the list. If the insertion is successful, the function returns true; otherwise, returns false.
  • boolean delete(int data)
    Delete the node that contains the given data from the list. If the deletion is successful, the function returns true; otherwise, returns false.
  • int find(int data)
    Search and return the index to the node that contains the data. Note that the index starts from 0. If it is not found, return -1.
  • int count()
    Count and return the number of nodes in the list
  • String toString()
    Return the string representation of this List where all data in the list are enclosed in square brackets [ ].

Then write the program that accepts a sequence of commands and print out the number of successful insertions, the number of successful deletions, the number of successful searches (through the “find” command), the number of items remaining in the list after executing all commands and the final contents of the list.

There are 3 commands which are “insert”, “delete” and “find”.

Input

Line 1: The number of transactions m on the list, where 1  m 200.

Line 2 to m+1: A string command (“insert”, “delete”, “find”) followed by an integer n (separated by a space).

  • • “delete” means delete n from the list
  • • “find” means find n in the list

Output

Line 1: Display 4 integers (each number is separated by a space) which are:

  • the number of successful insertions,
  • the number of successful deletions,
  • the number of items found (from the command “find”), and
