Assignment 6 - Flowchart from a description

LABAR Project 6

This assignment is to be done during your one hour lab by arrangement (LABAR). This assignment requires you to create a flowchart diagram from the description below. The simple flowchart symbols: start and end symbols, arrows (flow), process, input/output, conditional or decision, as defined in wikipedia are used in this assignment.

You are expected to create a flowchart based on the following description:

"The Computer Science Department offers both Comsc105 and Comsc145 every semester. For me to be able to transfer to a 4-year University, I will need to have passing grade on both Comsc105 and Comsc145. I plan to take the Comsc105 next Fall semester 2010, and take the Comsc145 the Spring semester 2011.

The school has a budget shortfall next fiscal year, 2010-2011. Some classes maybe cut. If the budget cut is more than 5%, the Computer Science Department will offer only Comsc145 in Fall semester and offer only the Comsc145 in Spring 2011.

Please submit your flowchart work in Word (.doc or .docx file) through webCT-assignment. You can drag and drop the built-in flowchart symbols in Word (Insert -> Shape -> Flowchart) to create your flowchart.

Example

The following description is translated into a flowchart, a logical flow of stages represented by symbols:

"The rain has been pouring for the last few days, and the refrigerator is low in stock. It is not safe to drive around in the rain. It seems the sun is breaking out. I am looking out the window every 10 minitues to see if the rain stops, so I can go shopping to fill up the frige. Then tell all my friends to come and have a party in my home tonight."
