People across the United States are fearful - and fed up- with crime. Dogs for protection, special locks, and security systems have never been more popular. And no wonder: Almost half of U.S. adults claim that they are afraid to walk alone at night in the vicinity of their own homes. Government spending on crime prevention has risen steadily during the past thirty years, but so has the crime rate. At the same time, as noted at the beginning of this chapter, violent crime has gone down in the last few years. New York City is a case in point: Murders in the Big Apple dropped from 2,245 in 1990 to 803 in 1997. Are we beginning to learn something more about controlling crime? Three factors seem to account for the New York turnaround. First, more police are on the streets than ever before. Second, a program of "community policing" makes police commanders directly responsible for controlling crime in their district. Third, and probably more important, police are less focused on making arrests and more concerned with preventing crime in the first place. For example, police officers have begun stopping young men for jaywalking or even spitting on the sidewalk in order to check them for concealed weapons (as a result the word is getting around that you risk arrest for carrying a gun) and even blocking off streets to traffic if that's what it takes to put local drug dealers out of business (the policy seems to work: the drug trade is down). Travis Hirschi (author of control theory) offers his own version of a community approach to crime. Hirschi notes that criminals today have two things in common. The first is age; most offenders are young. Crime rates are high in the late teens and early twenties, and they fall quickly thereafter. Second, most offenders take a short-term view of their lives. Lawbreakers, as Hirschi sees it, are people who have trouble working toward any long-term goal, including an educational degree, a career, a successful marriage, or even keeping a steady friendship. More than anything else, in fact, offenders are people characterized by low self-control. That is why, according to Hirschi, our present criminal justice system can never control crime effectively. For one thing, going to jail is too uncertain (most crimes go unpunished) and too far removed in time (catching, trying, and jailing criminals often takes a year or more) to deter the typical offender. Thus, Hirschi explains, popular calls for "stiffer sentences" actually have little effect in suppressing crime. Moreover, by the time many offenders are sent to prison, they are moving beyond the "crime years" simply because they are growing older. Statistically speaking, then, offenders aging in prison represent a crime threat already shrinking on its own. Therefore, rather than locking up adults, Hirschi argues that society needs to focus on younger people before they commit crimes. /similar to the new approach in New York City, Hirschi's approach calls for closer attention to teenagers - those at highest risk for criminal behavior. Effective crime control depends on devising policies to keep teens away not only from guns and drugs, but also alcohol and, if necessary, cars. Ultimately, though, the most effective way to control crime, Hirschi concludes, is to teach children self-control . This is a reasonability that falls upon parents. Government can help, however, by intervening in dysfunctional families and by developing strategies that help build strong-preferably two parent- families. Eliminating pregnancy among teenage girls would do far more to reduce crime, Hirschi contends, than all the actions of today's criminal justice system. QUESTIONS 1. Do you thing we need more prisons? Is that an effective way to deal with the crime problem? What else might be done? 2. Hirschi's recommendations are controversial because he opposes the popular practice of building more prisons. What do you thing? 3. If we don't lock up today's offenders swiftly and surely, how can we satisfy society's demand for retribution? 4. Do you think that New York City's new crime approach and Hirschi's suggestions attack the broader conditions that breed crime, such as poverty, racial prejudice, and weak families? Why or why not? 5. Does lethal injection illustrate the "medicalization of death"? How or how not? 6. Does lethal injection "sugar coat" capital punishment by making suffering less apparent? Is lethal injection more humane? Why or why not?

Problem

Write in drjava is fine.

Using the classes from Assignment #2, do the following:

1. Modify the parent class (Plant) by adding the following abstract methods:
   1. a method to return the botanical (Latin) name of the plant
   2. a method that describes how the plant is used by humans (as food, to build houses, etc)
2. Add a Vegetable class with a flavor variable (sweet, salty, tart, etc) and 2 methods that return the following information:
   1. list 2 dishes (meals) that the vegetable can be used in
   2. where this vegetable is grown

The Vegetable class should have the usual constructors (default and parameterized), get (accessor) and set (mutator) methods for each attribute, and a toString method

Child classes should call parent methods whenever possible to minimize code duplication.

The driver program must test all the methods in the Vegetable class, and show that the new methods added to the Plant class can be called by each of the child classes. Include comments in your output to describe what you are testing, for example   System.out.println(“testing Plant toString, accessor and mutator”);. Print out some blank lines in the output to make it easier to read and understand what is being output.

Assignment Submission:

Submit a print-out of the Plant and Vegetable classes, the driver file and a sample of the output. Also include a UML diagram of the classes involved. (Use tables in Word to create the various classes. Remember to use the correct arrows between the classes)

Marking Checklist

1. Does EACH class have all the usual methods?
2. Are all methods in EACH class tested, including child objects calling inherited parent methods?
3. Does the child class call the parent’s constructor?
4. Does the child class override the parent’s toString?
5. Does the output produced have lots of comments explaining what is being output?
6. Does each class, and the output, have blank lines and appropriate indenting to make them more readable?

ADAM’S BANKING CAREER
William Adams joined the Skynolim Universal bank when he was discharged from the army. He had just
finished Senior High School when his country called him, and he willingly reported and served. At the bank,
he started as a delivery and pick-up driver, going to all the branches, collecting cheques and taking them to
head office for processing and posting. He started his Chartered Institute of Bankers (CIB) course and earned
a General Banking Diploma. Soon after his diploma, he was transferred to one of the Skynolim Universal
Bank branches in Pomadze as a teller. Meanwhile, Willy continued his education and earned his bachelor’s
degree in Banking and Finance. Immediately, Willy became a Chartered banker, he was picked for bank’s
management trainee program and then promoted to be operation manager at the bank’s main branch. That
was 15 years ago. Willy continued his studies earning a second degree in Investment Management. Today,
Mr. William Adams, a veteran investment banker, is the Managing Director (MD) of Skynolim Universal Bank
in Ghana and an Executive Member of the CIB Council. The current pandemic, Covid-19, with the protocol
of lockdown and staying at home have slowed business globally. Mr. Adams and his management team are
brainstorming to find solutions to the problems Covid-19 may pose to the operation and management of
Skynolim Universal Bank in Ghana.
Required: Answer the following questions from the above preamble.
1. Clearly explain five daily practices of William Adams when he was a Teller at Skynolim Universal Bank,
Pomadze branch.
2. A branch operations manager is the subordinate of a branch manager. Explain two responsibilities of
Mr. Adams when he was promoted as the operation manager of the bank’s main branch.
3. Mr. Adams, the MD for Skynolim Universal Bank has the sole responsibility to manage the asset and
liabilities of the bank to ensure favourably conditions of the bank. Explain three of
(ALM).

4. Explain two problems that Skynolim Universal Bank will be facing in the operations and management of
the bank because of Covid-19 pandemic.
5. Clearly explain solutions available to the problems, which Covid-19 poses to Skynolim Universal Bank in
Ghana. ( 5 marks)

SECTION B (Answer one question from this section)
Q1. PREAMBLE
In Ghana, the problem of financial distress of banks is not new. In 2000, two banks (Bank for Housing and
Construction and the Ghana Co-Operative Bank) were liquidated. On Monday 14 August 2017, there was a
breaking news of the collapse of two banks (Capital Bank and UT Bank) with the third (UniBank) receiving
special attention from the Central Bank with the appointment of KPMG as Official Administrators following
UniBank’s insolvency. In almost a year later, the Central Bank revoked the license of five insolvent banks
( Unibank, Royal bank, Sovereign bank, Beige bank and Construction bank) to form a new Consolidated bank
owned by government. The number of banksfailure is a concern to all stakeholders in the Ghanaian banking
Industry.
Required: Answer the following questions from the above preamble.
a) Explain the term Bank Failure.
b) Explain three determinants of possible bank financial distress that could cause bank failure.

c) Discuss two economic implications of bank failure.
[20 marks]
Q2. PREAMBLE
The culture of poor corporate governance practice permeates indigenous business culture. In fact, since
independence, Ghanaian industries have been grappling with sound corporate governance practices;
largely because chunks of businesses are owned by family, friends or political cronies. The common
refrain in Ghana is that “the business belongs to my uncle, my auntie, my father, mother etc., so I can do
what I want with the money”. This cultural cancer has permeated in the governance of some indigenous
banks. The issue of lack of capacity or ‘incompetence’ of boards to enforce good governance practice cuts
across government owned banks and indigenous owned banks. According to Sanusi (2010), Nigeria

boards and executive management in some major banks were not well equipped to run their institutions.
Perhaps the same can be said of the boards of the banks that have collapsed so far in Ghana.
Required: Answer the following questions from the above preamble.
a) Explain the term ‘Corporate Governance’ from a banking industry perspective.
b) Explain three determinants of weak corporate governance that could lead to the insolvency of
banks in Africa.
c) Discuss two implications of ensuring good governance by appointing non-executive directors with
the required qualification and experience.

Can you read this ans make it sound better
1. After reading the case study, I did not realize how vital walkthroughs are for the benefit of the facility. The feedback that this hospital got from this simple walkthrough was astounding. For example, the hospital was not keeping the bathrooms clean and that by this action it does affect what the patient thinks of the hospital. Also not being able to give directions to family members should have never had happened. The doctor even said that's how he was treated at his ED was going to make him need care. The values of walkthroughs can completely change the hospital to make it a better place for the patient care and quality of the overall hospital. The significance of this walkthrough did greatly improve the hospital's level of quality care. The first thing the hospital walkthrough made him realize was the "patient" aka the doctor had never walk through the patient's entrance of the hospital. As a patient, he called the hospital for example and was told that he was having an acute asthma attack in the Operation Center and was put on hold for several minutes then transferred his call to ED. The second thing the walkthrough found was that family members were trying to get information on the phone from a doctor and tried to get medical directions, but that the staff member was unable to give them instructions so and they transferred him to another person to get directions and the instructions given were incorrect directions. The third thing the walkthrough provided to the hospital was all of the signage for directions around the outside of the hospital were covered by plants and shrubbery, so no one knew which direction to go. Once arriving at the ED, it was chaos, and very filthy. One account said it felt like they were going to the county jail. The one point that stood out to me is that a family member went into the bathroom and it was so dirty, and they thought how could they care for my family if they can't even keep the restrooms clean. I believe this is one of the most important parts of the walkthrough because after all, they've been through already if they can't even have a clean bathroom what does this to say about the doctor's level of care in the hospital. Are they following proper procedures to disinfect and make sure everything is clean? The final thing that they found after conducting their walkthrough was that there were no hooks for their clothes to be hung when they had to change into a patient's gown. They have to throw their clothes onto the floor. The doctor even said that he always thought they were neglected for just throwing the clothes on the floor, but he didn't realize that there were no hooks or hangers for the clothes to be stored properly. I believe if they would make just these simple improvements like cleaning the bathrooms, making sure the patients have hooks in their room, giving proper directions to give family members follow up proper care instructions their ED would improve rapidly, and patient level of care would improve greatly.

2. The difference between patient satisfactory and patient experience is how the values are prioritized. Patient experience is going above and beyond to make sure the patient is satisfied and is happy with the services that the hospital has provided

for them. Patient satisfaction is more of the outcome measure of how they were treated and is sometimes is a process measure that is done. In some cases patient satisfaction can be a negative outcome but still have a positive patient experience. This means that the patient satisfaction can include true and false positives. The one that is most meaningful to patients is their patient experience. I believe patient experience is more valuable because if the patient is not happy with their experience, then the hospital did not go above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of for the patient. The patient in turn isn't going to talk highly of the hospital, and the bottom line is I am not going to be satisfied and happy. The largest and widest marketing device I believe in healthcare is by word of mouth. If the patient has a bad experience at the hospital, they're going to talk about it to their family members and everyone else who would listen to them complains. Same goes if the patient had a great experience at a hospital if everything was amazing, and the hospital went above and beyond to make sure all their needs were met will are also going to tell people about their experiences, and more people are more likely going to want to make a choice to come to your hospital instead of going to somewhere else. If you just focus on patient satisfaction you're only going to get the outcome measure or process measure not what the patient is going to say to other potential patients.

The workload in many areas of bank operations has the characteristics of a nonuniform distribution with respect to time of day. For example, at Chase Manhattan Bank in New York, the number of domestic money transfer requests received from customers, if plotted against time of day, would appear to have the shape of an inverted U curve with the peak around 1 P.M. For efficient use of resources, the personnel available should, therefore, vary correspondingly. A variable capacity can be achieved effectively by employing part-time personnel. Because part-timers are not entitled to all the fringe benefits, they are often more economical than full-time employees. Other considerations, however, may limit the extent to which part-time people can be hired in a given department. The problem is to find an optimum workforce schedule that would meet personnel requirements at any given time and also be economical. Some of the factors affecting personnel assignment are listed here:

1. By corporate policy, part-time personnel hours are limited to a maximum of 40% of the day’s total requirement.
2. Full-time employees work for 8 hours (1 hour for lunch included) per day. Thus, a full-timer’s productive time is 35 hours per week.
3. Part-timers work for at least 4 hours per day but less than 8 hours and are not allowed a lunch break.
4. Fifty percent of the full-timers go to lunch between 11 A.M. and noon, and the remaining 50% go between noon and 1 P.M.
5. The shift starts at 9 A.M. and ends at 7 P.M. (i.e., overtime is limited to 2 hours). Any work left over at 7 P.M. is considered holdover for the next day.
6. A full-time employee is not allowed to work more than 5 hours overtime per week. He or she is paid at the normal rate for overtime hours—not at one-and-a-half times the normal rate applicable to hours in excess of 40 per week. Fringe benefits are not applied to overtime hours.

In addition, the following costs are pertinent:
1. The average cost per full-time personnel hour (fringe benefits included) is $10.11.
2. The average cost per overtime personnel hour for full-timers (straight rate excluding fringe benefits) is $8.08.
3. The average cost per part-time personnel hour is $7.82.

The personnel hours required, by hour of day, are given in the following Table.

TABLE: Workforce Requirements

The bank’s goal is to achieve the minimum possible personnel cost subject to meeting or exceeding the hourly workforce requirements as well as the constraints on the workers listed earlier.

Discussion Questions:
1. What is the minimum-cost schedule for the bank?
2. What are the limitations of the model used to answer question 1?
3. Costs might be reduced by relaxing the constraint that no more than 40% of the day’s requirement be met by part-timers. Would changing the 40% to a higher value significantly reduce costs?

The Australian economy is "weak",with households weighed down by slow wages growth and higher taxes,the OECD has declared in a report that backs lower interest rates,calls for more government spending and paves the way for unconventional monetary policies.In its six-monthly review of the global economy,the Paris-based think tank has sharply downgraded its expectations for Australia while raising serious concerns about the level of debt being carried by households.

The Morrison government this week announced $3.8 billion of infrastructure projects would be pulled forward or given additional funding over the next four years. The decision followed calls from the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA),which has sliced official interest rates to a record low 0.75 per cent,for a lift in public spending plus productivity-enhancing structural reforms.

But economists have warned the new spending will equate to less than 0.1 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP),arguing much more needs to be done to get the economy growing fast enough to bring down the national unemployment rate.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD),which noted the global economy was now growing at its slowest rate since the global financial crisis,said it expected Australian GDP to expand by 2.3 per cent this year and next,well short of the federalgovernment's forecast.

It also expects private consumption,which accounts for about 60 per cent of total economic activity,to barely grow faster than inflation over the next two years.In March,the OECD was expecting unemployment to start edging down. It has now lifted its forecasts,tipping unemployment to average 5.3 per cent in 2020.Economic activity has been weak," the OECD said about Australia. "Private consumption spending has been sluggish,weighed down by slow wage growth and an increase in taxes paid by households."

While the government has argued its recent tax cuts will help households offset slow wages growth,the OECD and other organisations such as the RBA have noted overall tax levels are increasing as the budget returns to surplus.

Research this week from National Australia Bank found Australian household debt was now at a record high of 202 per cent of annual income.The OECD said high household indebtedness could "exacerbate" any economic shock that hit Australia.

It said with the RBA likely to cut interest rates further,which in turn could feed into a lift in house prices,lending standards might have to be tightened to protect households.

"High household indebtedness means that the authorities should stand ready to tighten macro- prudential policy settings if lower interest rates fuel house price inflation through a sharp pick- up in credit," the OECD found.While expecting further rate cuts,the organisation said the Morrison government should "loosen fiscal policy" to help get the economy growing faster.

"Fiscal policy is expected to provide little support to economic growth,in accordance with the federal government's commitment to future budget surpluses," it said. "A more expansionary fiscal stance may be warranted given that the economy is growing well below its potential and the relatively low public debt burden.

"At the same time,growth-enhancing tax reforms should be prioritised. These include shifting the tax mix away from direct taxes and inefficient taxes like real estate stamp duty to the GST and land taxation."Treasurer Josh Frydenberg said the nation's economic fundamentals remained sound,with the country now in its 29th consecutive year of growth.

He said there were "headwinds",particularly due to trade policy tensions that have hit confidence and business investment globally since May,but "the government's focus on productivity-enhancing reform will ensure our economy remains resilient".

"The international challenges are a stark reminder of why we must stick to our economic plan which has delivered lower taxes so you can keep more of what you earn,more infrastructure to boost productivity and which will return the budget back to surplus so we can meet the challenges that lie ahead," he said.

Question：Consider the statement,“In March,the OECD was expecting unemployment to start edging down. It has now lifted its forecasts,tipping unemployment to average 5.3 per cent in 2020.”If the unemployment rate increases,what are the costs to an economy? How does it compare with the natural rate of unemployment? （word limit: 200-300)

Creation of context diagram & DFDs (current and Proposed) ?

A few years ago, Ronald Montgomery founded Cultural Learning Experiences (CLE), Inc., a small firm in Chicago that organizes and plans educational trips for faculty and students seeking a unique learning experience abroad. At first, the company focused mainly on organising these educational experiences in France and Switzerland, but as the interest continued to grow, Ronald increased the scope of operations to include many other countries, including Spain, New Zealand, Germany, and others.
Ronald has the help of Isabella Aubel (office manager) and two other employees that help with the day-to-day office tasks. At the present time, the work processes are entirely manual for this organization. With the recent growth in the business, it has become quite challenging for the current workforce to manage all of this manually. Everything is rather disorganized, with many mistakes being made with the recording of important information regarding students and their scheduled classes and locations, for example. Such errors are adding to the existing inefficiencies, thereby creating a work. environment that is stressful and hectic. Even more importantly, customer needs are not being met and customer satisfaction is at an all-time low. It is, therefore, necessary to implement a database solution at the present time. It is important to note that while Ronald intends to eventually automate all business processes, including payroll and accounts payable, the more immediate concern is to make certain that efficiencies in data storage are improved. The database solution should include a user-friendly interface that allows for entry, modification, and deletion of data pertaining to students, teachers, and classes, for example. Additionally, the database solution should be designed to ensure consistency of data entry (formatting) and should include enhanced reporting capabilities. Such functionalities should be considered in order to resolve the problems the company is currently experiencing. The total amount available to fund this project is $65,000. It may be possible to expand this budget, if necessary, but the company is hoping that the project can be completed with the specified amount. The company currently has only two computers, both with the Windows 7 operating system and Microsoft Office Professional 2010 installed. The machine is currently being used for electronic mail communications and simple word processing and spreadsheet tasks. It will be necessary to purchase two additional machines for this office, as Ronald would like all of his employees to have access to the new database management system. Ronald is hoping that this database solution will be instrumental in improving customer relations and employee morale, as both are critical to the continued success and growth of his business. With an automated work process, Ronald knows that efficiencies within the organization will be dramatically improved.
Cultural Learning Experiences, Inc. is essentially the middleman between faculty and students & international opportunities to teach and learn. CLE organises educational trips/programmes for college students (to take) and college professors (to teach/lead) in the USA and across the world.
You have been hired to provide them a mean to keep track of the classes offered in destinations around the world, all of the students who sign up for a particular class, the professors who are teaching specific courses, etc. You have several goals that you want to accomplish with this database. First, you will need to keep track of all the

students –their studentID number, address, telephone number, e-mail address, etc. You will need to keep track of faculty members and their contact information as well.
As students register for classes and pay their registration fees, the owners of CLE want to be able to record this information directly in their database. An outside accounting firm handles all of the billing processes. CLE simply provides this firm with a physical copy of a report containing the information necessary for billing. (Your team is responsible for designing this report.) All payments are made directly to CLE. Beyond the recording of whether or not the registration fees have been paid, this system should not be concerned with accounting practices. The recording of all billing and payment details will be handled outside of the boundaries of this system. CLE also outsources the marketing function and provides reports on a regular basis to an outside marketing firm that seeks to inform potential faculty participants of the educational trips that are available through CLE and to increase awareness in general. You should design at least one report that would provide useful information to this marketing firm. (You may make assumptions here.)
CLE would like the database to be password protected. Beyond the creation of these reports, Ronald wants you to focus on making data-entry as easy and efficient as possible for her staff while simultaneously ensuring accuracy of the entries. An organised database, focusing on data-entry and reporting, is essential. (Your team will need to explore various options within Access that will allow for this).

Routine Persuasive Message Guidelines

Summary Because everyone at your company is suddenly working from home due to the pandemic, upper management wants to make it mandatory for all employees to install insecure corporate spyware on any device they use for work. As the lead developer on your team, you must speak up for yourself and your colleagues and persuade your direct manager that this is a bad idea. Using the strategies discussed in your readings and resources, write a well formatted email to your manager, Deion Guillory (he/him). Include a subject line and email signature. Do not copy text or phrases from these guidelines, the readings, templates, or any other source.

Details For this assignment, imagine that you are a senior software developer at the imaginary company, Swift Coding Enterprises. The company has been fortunate during the pandemic: the software you make is still in high demand, and your jobs are such that all employees can do their work from home. Some of you are using company laptops, but most of you have your own desktop computers, laptops, tablets, etc. that you also use for work while you’re at home. However, your upper management (CEO, CFO, etc.) are concerned that employees are “slacking off” because they’re working from home. They want to monitor employees’ work to make sure no one is taking advantage of the situation to be less productive. In order to do this, they’ve instructed all managers to make it mandatory for employees to download and install Beramind corporate monitoring software on any device the employee uses for work. Beramind takes screenshots of the user’s display every 30 seconds and sends it to cloud storage. Anyone who has the company’s admin login can view these screenshots and which employee’s computer they come from. They can also choose, without notifying the user, to mirror a user’s display on their own system and watch what that user is doing in real time. Your manager, Deion Guillory (he/him), has received these instructions from his own manager. He has sent a memo to you and your team telling you to download and install Beramind on your computers. You and your team have discussed the situation privately, and you don’t want to install Beramind for many reasons, such as:

- Your team’s output (e.g. code, documentation) has been the same as when you worked in the office. - Some of you haven’t been able to work as many hours as usual, but it’s not because you’re slacking off—it’s because there’s a pandemic, and you have other emergency responsibilities, such as taking care of children. - You don’t want your bosses to be able to monitor your activity on your personal and/or family computers, even if you do use it for work sometimes. - Beramind uses a lot of bandwidth, system memory, and processor power, which not everyone is able to spare. - According to some articles you read online, Beramind doesn’t use end-to-end encryption when it sends data to its server.

Because you’re the team lead, it’s up to you to email Deion and explain your team’s situation. You want to make it clear that none of you will install this program, and you want to persuade Deion that it’s a bad enough idea that he should push back against it to his own bosses. TIP: You may make up any reasonable information you need (for example, a colleague’s name or exactly how much system memory Beramind needs) as long as it doesn’t contradict the assignment guidelines. By “reasonable,” your instructor means that the information you include might happen in reality and doesn’t substantially change the assignment. For example, it would not be “reasonable” to tell Deion that your team can’t install Beramind because you have all forgotten the passwords to your system admin profiles and can’t install anything.

Your email should follow the best practices for business emails that you’ve learned about in your readings/resources. You must include an email signature block and a subject line. There is no required word count, but you must include enough information to achieve your purpose effectively without overloading a single email with too much content. Most submissions will be between 200 and 500 words, although it is possible to write an excellent but slightly longer or shorter submission.

I need the technical Feasibility and the Operational Feasibility for one recommendation solution .

A few years ago, Ronald Montgomery founded Cultural Learning Experiences (CLE), Inc., a small firm in Chicago that organizes and plans educational trips for faculty and students seeking a unique learning experience abroad. At first, the company focused mainly on organising these educational experiences in France and Switzerland, but as the interest continued to grow, Ronald increased the scope of operations to include many other countries, including Spain, New Zealand, Germany, and others.
Ronald has the help of Isabella Aubel (office manager) and two other employees that help with the day-to-day office tasks. At the present time, the work processes are entirely manual for this organization. With the recent growth in the business, it has become quite challenging for the current workforce to manage all of this manually. Everything is rather disorganized, with many mistakes being made with the recording of important information regarding students and their scheduled classes and locations, for example. Such errors are adding to the existing inefficiencies, thereby creating a work. environment that is stressful and hectic. Even more importantly, customer needs are not being met and customer satisfaction is at an all-time low. It is, therefore, necessary to implement a database solution at the present time. It is important to note that while Ronald intends to eventually automate all business processes, including payroll and accounts payable, the more immediate concern is to make certain that efficiencies in data storage are improved. The database solution should include a user-friendly interface that allows for entry, modification, and deletion of data pertaining to students, teachers, and classes, for example. Additionally, the database solution should be designed to ensure consistency of data entry (formatting) and should include enhanced reporting capabilities. Such functionalities should be considered in order to resolve the problems the company is currently experiencing. The total amount available to fund this project is $65,000. It may be possible to expand this budget, if necessary, but the company is hoping that the project can be completed with the specified amount. The company currently has only two computers, both with the Windows 7 operating system and Microsoft Office Professional 2010 installed. The machine is currently being used for electronic mail communications and simple word processing and spreadsheet tasks. It will be necessary to purchase two additional machines for this office, as Ronald would like all of his employees to have access to the new database management system. Ronald is hoping that this database solution will be instrumental in improving customer relations and employee morale, as both are critical to the continued success and growth of his business. With an automated work process, Ronald knows that efficiencies within the organization will be dramatically improved.
Cultural Learning Experiences, Inc. is essentially the middleman between faculty and students & international opportunities to teach and learn. CLE organises educational trips/programmes for college students (to take) and college professors (to teach/lead) in the USA and across the world.
You have been hired to provide them a mean to keep track of the classes offered in destinations around the world, all of the students who sign up for a particular class, the professors who are teaching specific courses, etc. You have several goals that you want to accomplish with this database. First, you will need to keep track of all the

students –their studentID number, address, telephone number, e-mail address, etc. You will need to keep track of faculty members and their contact information as well.
As students register for classes and pay their registration fees, the owners of CLE want to be able to record this information directly in their database. An outside accounting firm handles all of the billing processes. CLE simply provides this firm with a physical copy of a report containing the information necessary for billing. (Your team is responsible for designing this report.) All payments are made directly to CLE. Beyond the recording of whether or not the registration fees have been paid, this system should not be concerned with accounting practices. The recording of all billing and payment details will be handled outside of the boundaries of this system. CLE also outsources the marketing function and provides reports on a regular basis to an outside marketing firm that seeks to inform potential faculty participants of the educational trips that are available through CLE and to increase awareness in general. You should design at least one report that would provide useful information to this marketing firm. (You may make assumptions here.)
CLE would like the database to be password protected. Beyond the creation of these reports, Ronald wants you to focus on making data-entry as easy and efficient as possible for her staff while simultaneously ensuring accuracy of the entries. An organised database, focusing on data-entry and reporting, is essential. (Your team will need to explore various options within Access that will allow for this).
