 ABSTRACT

In this busy world searching of tutors for any subject is a very difficult. In order

to make it simple here with we proposed an idea to find a subject expert tutor through

mobile application. The proposed work has the common platform where the tutor and

the student can access on their respective available views. In this application students

can register and view the availability of the subject expert based on rating of the tutor.

The locations are mapped based on Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin. Based on the

students’ selection the slot of days and tutor will be blocked for their special classes

and then they will be intimated through notifications. This system will be helpful for

students to find their tutor.

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

These days the most important thing in our life is education. We all need some

extra care in education. Or in other perspective people who are willing to be a tutor

needs good tuition. So, for both of them one great system is needed. Now there are some

Facebook group where you can find some tuition. But in the end, it’s not so helpful. So,

I propose to make this tutor finder app, where tutor and students can easily find what

they are wishing for.

1
1.2 Problem Statement

1.2.1 The existing manual system based on finding tutor for students is a very time

consuming and tiring process for the students.

1.2.2 The existing web based system not effiency because it’s just make a display or

advertisement about the tutor only.

1.2.3 Not responsive for student to find their tutor using website or laptop.

1.3 Objective

1.3.1 To design a system that can provide a way to make class outside class.

1.3.2 To develop a platform for student to find tutor outside the class based on subject

they need more attention using mobile application.

1.3.3 To test the capabilities of the Tutor Finder Mobile Application useful to the user

based on rating and review by student.

2
1.4 Scope

The scope is important to set a boundary on what the area will cover in the

system development. Thus Tutor Finder Mobile Application using Normalisation

Technique is focused on online in campus of Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA).

Scope of this system is Tutor and Student of Tutor Finder Mobile Application.

The rating are assessment by students. And then it is up to the system to order

the tutor. This system classifies tutors through student assessment using the rating

given.

1.7 Expected Result

This mobile application is expected to group part timer tutor based on their

suitable subject to teach that suit their skill. Finally, students will give the review and

rating to recommended another student about the tutor that teach them.

 CHAPTER 2

LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 Introduction

In my research is on Normalize Technique. It is an evaluative report of studies

found in the literature that related to my selected area. The related journal and article

about the various technique and approach was analysed to find out the best

implementation technique that can be use in this tutor finder application. In this chapter,

comparison between the different technique is done to get better understanding for each

technique effectiveness. Then related system that have the same functionality as the

Tutor Finder Mobile Application is reviewed to help in understanding and gain

knowledge about how to implement the system in real mobile application.

7
2.2 Related Research Techniques and Tools

A review of the research paper has been conducted to study on how others

embedded the rating into their system. As a result, a few research papers have been

reviewed.

The first article is conduct by author [1], the research stated Case-based

reasoning (CBR system) is the process solving new problems based on the solutions of

similar past problems. Case based reasoning first appeared in commercial tools in the

early 1990's and since then has been sued to create numerous applications in a wide

range of domains. in decision making, when faced with a complex problem, people

often look for analogous problems for possible solutions. CBR systems have been

developed to support in this problem retrieval process (often at the level of document

retrieval) to find relevant similar problems. CBR is particularly good at querying

structured, modular and non-homogeneous documents.

The author [2] applied Data mining is the process of analyzing hidden patterns

of data according to different perspectives for categorization into useful information,

which is collected and assembled in common areas, such as data warehouses, for

efficient analysis, data mining algorithms, facilitating business decision making and

other information requirements to ultimately cut costs and increase revenue. The most

popular algorithms used for data mining are classification algorithms and regression

8
algorithms, which are used to identify relationships among data elements. Major

database vendors like Oracle and SQL incorporate data mining algorithms, such as

clustering and regression tress, to meet the demand for data mining. Data mining is

also known as data discovery and knowledge discovery.. Next, the author [3] applied

methods Naive Bayes classifiers calculate the probability of a sample to be of a certain

category, based on prior knowledge. They use the Naive Bayes Theorem, that assumes

that the effect of a certain feature of a sample is independent of the other features.

That means that each character of a sample contributes independently to determine the

probability of the classification of that sample, outputting the category of the highest

probability of the sample.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the ability of a machine or a computer program to

think and learn. The concept of AI is based on the idea of building machines capable

of thinking, acting, and learning like humans.A more nuanced definition is that

artificial Intelligence is an interdisciplinary concept that studies the possibility of

creating machines capable of interacting with their environment and acting upon the

received data in the a manner considered intelligent.

2.3 Normalize Technique

There are so many normalize techniques are there namely Min-Max

normalization, Standard Deviation, Z-score normalization and Decimal scaling

normalization. So by referring in this case, normalize techniques we are going to

propose is Standard Deviation.

The standard deviation is kind of the "mean of the mean," and often can help

you find the story behind the data. Standard deviation is the measure of spreading of

numerical data about an average. Standard Deviation of a given set of observations is

defined as the positive square root of the arithmetic mean of the squares of deviations

of the observations from their arithmetic mean. It is an absolute measure of dispersion.

After the calculation rating using standard deviation, the system will sort the total

mean of star and sort the tutor based on assessment by student given.

2.4 Summary

In conclusion, the selection of accurate techniques is very important to make

sure that the system is successfull implemented and achieved the objective. The

integration of normalize technique is the most suitable method to use in developing the

system. Normalize technique will consider the rating in that particular finding the best

tutor in order to distribute processed to the student in finding their tutor.

 CHAPTER 3

METHODOLOGY

3.1 Introduction

The methodology is the set of the complete guideline that includes the models

of tools to carry out activities in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). SDLC

splits the work into phases of activity for better planning and management of the system

development.

3.2 Spiral Model

The methodology that will be used in Tutor Finder Mobile Application Using

Normalize Technique is Spiral Model. Spiral model is a combination of sequential and

prototype model. There are specific activities that are done in one iteration which is

spiral where the output is the small prototype of the large software. Thus, the same

activities are repeated for all the spirals until the whole software is built.

There are six phases involved in the spiral model which is initial planning phase,

planning phase, analysis and design phase, implementation phase, testing phase,

deployment and evaluation phase.

14
 Figure 3.2 : Spiral Model

3.3 Methodology Phase

The explanation of each phase involves for developing Tutor Finder Mobile

Application Using Normalize Technique as below :-

3.3.1 Initial Planning Phase

At this phase, the process occurred is brainstorming the project idea and

proposed the title of the project. Then, Tutor Finder Mobile Application Using

Normalize Technique was decided.

3.3.2 Planning Phase

Planning phase is the most important phase as a guideline to develop the system.

During this phase, objectives of the system are identified and all the requirements

15
are gathered in order to develop the system. Research for the system are being

allocated and designing a schedule to ensure that the system follow the timeline

made. Research for the system is made by reading articles and journals related to

the system and the method used. System scheduling is created using a gantt chart to

ensure that the system will developed systematically and to make sure the project

can be done on time. In planning phase also getting the user requirement by

interview and observation from user around campus to meet the functionality

requirement of the system that will develop.

3.3.3 Analysis and Design Phase

During analysis phase, some research has been done through articles and

journals. The best approach and added value in Tutor Finder Mobile Application

Using Normalize Technique. This leads to selecting Normalize Technique.

Consequently, more research works have been studied to further understand the

theory and how the technique can be applied in the system. All of the disadvantages

of the system are listed and come out with the solution in developing this system.

Methodology, techniques, hardware and software requirements are also analyzed in

this phase. This is to ensure that every requirement and any related things need to

be done are suitable with the system.

Design phase of the system is done based on the output produced during analysis

phase. First, all the required hardware and software requirements for the proposed

system are working properly. Design the Context Diagram (CD), Data Flow

Diagram (DFD), and Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) to translate the process

16
flow of the Tutor Finder Mobile Application Using Normalize Technique. Interface

and database designed based on the requirements stated during analysis phase. Then

the working prototype designed to get another further improvement to be added into

the proposed system.

3.3.4 Implementation Phase

In this phase, all activities that have been planned during phase before are

executed. The system is developed using CORDOVA, ANDROID STUDIO,

XAMPP, MySQL and Notepad++ . Database and interface designed during design

phase are started to be developed. The process of writing the coding are being done

and the progress of the system are reported from time to time.

3.3.5 Testing Phase

When the system is fully developed, system are being tested. For this system,

the black box testing and white box testing is used to test the correctness of the

implementation coding and search for any errors and bug. If there are any errors, it

must be recheck and come out with the solution.

3.3.6 Deployment and Evaluation Phase

During this phase, the system is released to be used by the user. The users use

the system and give their feedback whether it needs to be improved or there is

anything that needs to be modify. Then the modifications are being made based on

17
 the feedback from the user to make sure the system is completely fulfilling the

requirements.

3.4 Hardware and Software Requirement

In developing a system, hardware and software play a great role as a standard

requirement which determines the accomplishment of the system. This standard

requirement relates to each other to build a successful system.

A data dictionary is a file or a set of files that contains a database's metadata.

The data dictionary contains records about other objects in the database, such as data

ownership, data relationships to other objects, and other data. The data dictionary is a

crucial component of any relational database. Ironically, because of its importance, it is

invisible to most database users. For most relational database management systems

(RDBMS), the database management system software needs the data dictionary to

access the data within a database.

IMPLEMANTATION

4.1 Introduction

The implementation is the process of carrying out, execution, or practice of the

method, design or model according to the specification given by the user requirement.

The goal of this chapter is to show on the flow of the system during the development

process.

32
4.2 Implementation of the System

For developing the Tutor Finder Mobile Application, several programming

languages has been used. The Xampp version 1.8.3-5 (v 3.2.1) with Apache version

2.4.10 are used to run the localhost server. The Notepad++ version 6.3.6 are used for

writing the code.

The interface design is using the bootstrap template. The serverside

programming language is using the Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP). The PHP is a

powerful tool for making dynamic and interactive Web Pages and widely used because

it is general purpose scripting language which can be embedded into HTML.

The validation used in this system is HTML5, PHP and JavaScript. The

validation is important to avoid the user from input malicious data and ensuring the

input is clean, correct and useful. For example, the name can accept only the alphabet,

if user input the number system will give a warning for the user to input the alphabet

only.

4.3 Programming Language

 PHP – use for form processes

 HTML5 – use to design interfaces and validation

 JavaScript – use for validation

33
4.4 Interface Design

The interface design which will be used for developing the system is shown as

below. The interface is developed from the data decomposition and the system

requirements. This system can be divided into 2 users which us Tutor and Student.

4.4.1 Tutor
