The Results of Classification of Lab Assignment in Object Oriented Programming and Database Management System Lab: A Case Study

Abstract

Object-oriented program, an emerging dominant paradigm in designing and constructing large and complex information systems. The requirement of industry expectations are not fully meet, which is evident through students learning. Therefore to reduce the gap between industry expectation and students understanding a deeper understanding of programming is essential and hence taught to undergraduate engineering students.

This paper talks about the classification of lab assignments, as analyzing the given software application problem, in six different phases. 1. Design phase 2.Objec-oriented programming implementation 3.DBMS implementation 4.Integration of OOPS with DBMS 5.Structured enquiry 6. Open-ended project. This classification of assignment statements improves the involvement of students, which helps to meet the industry expectations.

Rubrics based assessment is followed. The result of batch 2019 in comparison with 2018 has shown marked improvement with this new approach.This results due to the above said approach. The feedback of student through questionnaire shows that they have acquired knowledge by improving their skills in terms of designing a class diagram, OOPS concepts, and integrating OOPS concepts with DBMS.
