Object-oriented software design and programming is an essential part of a computer science curriculum. The idea behind object-oriented design is that because programs are intended to solve problems in the real world, basing software components on real world entities will make the analysis and design of software easier. In the existing Computer Science (CS) curricula that I have examined, I have found that object-oriented concepts are taught with the intent of towards developing software directly using an object-oriented language – such as C++, Java, or C#. However, most software of any consequence is rarely developed directly using a programming language. Most current commercial software is developed using software frameworks, by extending and customizing the default, generic, functionality that frameworks provide. As a consequence, I have observed that novice software developers (such as fresh college graduates) who have been taught object-oriented design, are able to apply good design principles in theory, but rarely in professional practice

ABSTRACT Education is very important in this century, especially higher education. In recent years, courses development is springing up like mushrooms. Therefore, the need to provide and maintain high quality of teaching and learning services are very important to maintain. This project report is about developing a Departmental Portal which aim at creating a system whereby common educational challenges can be tackled without much stress from the students or staffs. The use of PHP and MySQL were involved for the developmental process. The Departmental Portal is a web based system that deals on registration of student, generating blacklist for student, generating quick result for each student, provides upload and download of course material and allocation of departmental courses. It is an affordable solution that gives the department more values as the system caters to the need of the department which includes: admission, online result, inquiry etc. It maintains all information of the department in a centralized database and allows each Staff to view relevant information from anywhere at any time. This system will assist the student of the department regarding information (on the courses, levels, assignment, grades and news/events update) and provides a simple interface for the maintenance of the students’ information to be used by the department to maintain the records and details of each student easily.

Master of Sacred Theology

Other pages in this section:

The master of sacred theology (S.T.M.) degree provides the opportunity to gain further mastery in a chosen area of theological study. Students will attain and apply the skills needed for scholarly research in a theological discipline at an advanced level. The S.T.M. program is intended for those who may wish to prepare for graduate study at the doctoral level or for various forms of teaching, to enhance their scholarly understanding of ministerial practice, or to engage in disciplined reflection in an area of ministry. 

Students must complete a minimum of thirty semester hours of academic credit with a grade point average of 3.00 or higher. Six of the hours must be in the form of a thesis. The student, working in consultation with a thesis supervisor from the faculty of the School of Theology, will develop a proposal and write a thesis demonstrating scholarly competence, and pass an examination covering the area of the thesis and major specialization.

The normal paradigm is two classes in each of four summers and registration for thesis hours after the fourth summer. A student may not register for thesis hours until the thesis proposal has been approved. A student may choose to finish sooner by registering for the thesis hours in January after the fourth summer in order to graduate in May of that year.

Thesis and Candidacy

The student will be required to complete a thesis demonstrating scholarly competence. The purpose of the S.T.M. thesis is to demonstrate the ability to research an issue and to write in a clear and concise manner. It is not expected that every thesis will be “an original contribution to knowledge,” but it must make a significant contribution to the student’s understanding of their area of specialty.

In preparation for the thesis proposal and candidacy request, the student will consult with the director of the advanced degrees program about the general subject of the thesis. The director will work with the student to choose a supervisor for the preparation of the proposal. The supervisor will be a member of the teaching faculty of the School of Theology, and will serve as the first reader. Guidelines are provided for writing the thesis proposal, and the thesis itself.

Upon approval of a thesis proposal, the committee will select, or approve the student’s request of, the second reader. The committee will consider the thesis subject and the potential reader’s expertise, workload, and availability. Readers are ordinarily faculty of the University. On occasion, an outside scholar with particular expertise in the thesis subject may be contracted as a reader. 

Examination

An oral defense covering the area of the thesis and major specialization is also required. This may be accomplished in person, by conference call, or video conference, as circumstances may demand. A final, library copy of the thesis is submitted to the coordinator of academic affairs for binding. 

Advanced Degrees Program

International Baccalaureate taking ‘appropriate and timely measures’ to remove online posts containing leaked exam questions after outrage

Tuesday, 07 May 2024

China’s middle class is stressed. can its growing mental health industry lend a helping hand, beijing to help hong kong rake in talent from mainland china and overseas, nation’s labour chief says.

IB says investigation has found ‘students engaged’ in ‘time-zone cheating’ activities but did not disclose how many were involved. Those responsible will receive no marks for their exams or grades for the relevant subject, spokesman says. — SCMP

The body that runs the International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma programme has said “appropriate and timely measures” are being taken to remove all online posts that contain leaked exam questions , but did not disclose how many students had been caught cheating.

The IB said on Monday its investigation found that “students have engaged” in “time-zone cheating” activities. It noted on Sunday it had discovered “a very small number” of students had engaged in the practice and there was no evidence it was widespread.

“We understand technology enables sharing and distribution which amplifies the number of students posts might reach, before posts can be removed,” a spokesman said in a reply to the Post on Monday.

“Appropriate and timely measures are being taken to remove all related posts and render consequences to the students involved.”

Time-zone cheating involves students who have taken an exam sharing the questions with candidates in another part of the world who have yet to sit it. The practice is explicitly forbidden under IB policy.

While the Swiss-based IB did not reply to a question on the number of students found cheating, the Post found the leaked materials had been downloaded more than 47,000 times as of Monday afternoon.

Asked about calls for the affected tests to be cancelled and how the IB would ensure fairness to students who did not cheat, the spokesman reiterated that a formal investigation had been launched.

Those responsible would receive no marks for their exams or grades for the relevant subject, he warned.

“As an additional consequence, there will be no award of diploma certificate and involved students will be banned from resitting the examinations,” he said.

“To ensure fairness to students who didn’t cheat, the IB will carefully review individual exam responses and otherwise mark papers as usual, to ensure students who acted with integrity are not penalised.”

Asked how such an incident could be prevented in future, the spokesman said the IB strived to stay ahead of technological advancements which affected student learning as well as cultivating a culture of academic integrity.

The Post earlier discovered some questions and answers from this year’s maths papers had been shared in links posted to online forum Reddit.

Screenshots of a Telegram channel also had links to questions for business management, global politics, maths, physics, computer science, biology and chemistry.

The two-year IB diploma programme is an internationally recognised university entrance qualification. Almost 180,000 students took it globally last year.

The leaks have sparked widespread outrage among students, including those currently sitting the exams in Hong Kong, with some calling for them to be cancelled or retaken.

At least 3,600 people have signed an online petition, urging the IB to cancel this year’s exam or ensure justice for students who did not read the leaked materials.

Last year, 2,275 pupils sat IB exams in Hong Kong, up slightly from 2,213 in 2022.

This year’s assessments are being held from April 24 to May 17. The IB and the Diploma of Secondary Education are the two major university entrance exams in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong’s Education Bureau has been contacted for comment. – South China Morning Post
