Abstract

In order to maintain a good recognition at college, the management does every

possible aspect in maintaining the qualities of the lecturer’s. As this is the online-era, where
everything is online we need to develop a system in online which is very useful to maintain
feedback reports by the administrator. The purpose of this project is to make the process of
taking feedback from the students in online regarding the lecturer’s teaching. With this, the
institutes can access the feedback reports in a faster way and without any loss of data. As of
now this task was done manually with the use of papers and pens. This has many drawbacks
and evaluating this hand written forms is a difficult process. Student needs to logging into the
website of online feedback system and giving his/her feedback and can perform modifications
too. But the restriction here is once the student submits the report then he cannot modify it
later. With this the student can successfully submit feedback on lecturer’s teaching in a very
efficient manner without any loss of data. The administrator and the faculty members can
access these feedbacks from the students and take appropriate actions.

 Methodology

What Is a Methodology?
A system development methodology refers to the formalized approach or series of
steps that is used to structure, plan and control the process of development an information
system.
Agile methodology :
Agile methodologies are characterized by short life-cycle iterations (typically
measured in weeks), with minimal planning and documentation.
 The goal is to deliver working software to the customer at the end of each cycle.
 Each iteration involves a number of phases including planning, requirements analysis,
implementation and testing.
 This incremental, iterative approach helps to reduce overall risk, while enabling the
output of the project to be adapted to meet changing requirements or circumstances.
Advantages:
• Very high levels of customer satisfaction and confidence by rapid and continuous
delivery of working software.
• Late changes in requirements are welcomed.
• Face-to-face communication.
• Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design.
• Simplicity.
A Methodology for Online Feedback and Assessment
A methodology for online feedback and assessment is presented in this paper. The
methodology is designed to be used by module teams to explore opportunities for online
feedback and assessment. The methodology has been informed by the initial literature review,
and by critical consideration and evaluation by practising academics at the university.
The methodology (figure 0.1) is made up of three stages:
 planning and design
 development
 performance and evaluation

5
 Figure 0.1 Key stages in the methodology for online feedback and assessment

The planning and design stage

The planning and design stage is concerned primarily with pedagogic considerations.
Taking into account the context of the unit/module, appropriate feedback activities and
opportunities are designed for learners. The feedback activities are compiled into a feedback
plan for the unit/module that specifically tries to satisfy the stated learning outcomes.
The development stage
The development stage is concerned with the creation of resources to support the
student experience and with the creation of online feedback and assessment environments.
The performance and evaluation stage
The performance and evaluation stage is concerned with piloting, performing and
improving the online feedback and assessment activities in an environment where
contingency plans are in place to protect the student experience.

 Introduction

1.1 General Introduction

We have developed Online Feedback System to provide feedback in an easy and
quick manner to the college HOD. So we call it as Online Feedback System which delivers
via online interface as online system which acting as Service Provider. By using this
technology we can provide fast feedback about the college lecturers by student on time to the
head of department s as they referred in online system. This project has four kinds of module
student, staff, HOD and admin. The student can give feedback to their respective lecturers.
This feedback report is checked by their Head of Department. He can view grade obtained by
the lecturers and give this report to the principal for further counseling to the college staff.
manual process this saves time of user.

1.2 Objective
The main objective was to create a unique and useful “Online feedback system” with
exceptional quality and service that differentiates it from other feedback system.

1.3 Scope
The scope of Rate Ur Faculty portal is as follows:
 The Rate Ur Faculty portal provides an easier and quicker way to give rating to the
colleges staffs.
 Student can rate their faculty members according to their teaching style, knowledge,
discipline and punctuality at any time from any place.
 Through this site data of faculty members and student were managed in quite a simple
manner.

1.4 Existing system

Coming to the existing system the feedback is done by manual process. In the existing
system students can give feedback about the lecturers by using paper and pen. After giving
feedback by every student Papers are collected by the Hod’s(Head of Department) and
calculate the overall grade for each lecturer. After that those all grade report is viewed by the
principal which is given by the Hod’s. Hence estimating the performance of lecturers and
giving counseling to college staff.

9
1.5 Proposed system
Here we aimed to design online web application for issuing the feedback about the
lecturers by students, this is named as Online feedback system. Online feedback System to
provide feedback in a easy and quick manner to the college lecturers and Hod’s. So we call it
as Online Feedback System which delivers via the Online interface as online system which
acting as a Service Provider by using this technology we can make fast feedback about the
staff by students on time to head of departments as they referred in online system. This project
has four kinds of users Student, Staff, Hod’s, and Admin. The student can give feedback in
online system provided by college staff. Students and can give feedback about thelecturers.
These feedback reports were checked by the Hod’s. He can view overall grades and view the
grades obtained to the lecturers and give this report to the principal and he can give
counseling to the college staffs compared to the manual system, online system is very simple
to use and also understand.

1.6 History and Related Work

1.6.1 PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor):
PHP or Hypertext Preprocessor is a highly popular server-side scripting language. It is
very flexible and has a lot of innovative features. It is the fastest resource available for creating
database –enabled dynamic websites. All the features and updates of PHP are available free of
cost.
History of PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor):
PHP was created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994 and was publicly released in June 1995.
Back then, it was the abbreviated form of Personal Home Page tools. After two years, in
1997, it entered public domain as PHP/F1 2.0. A year later, two programmers, Zeev Suraski
and Andi Gutmans, rewrote the base of the original version and launched PHP 3.
1.6.2 MYSQL (Structured Query Language):
Is a full-featured relational database management system (RDBMS) that competes
with the likes of Oracle database and Microsoft’s SQL (Structured Query Language) Server.
MySQL is sponsored by the Swedish company MySQL AB. MySQL is written in C and C++
and is compatible with all major operating systems.

10
History of MYSQL (Structured Query Language) :

MySQL was a free-software database engine originally developed and first released in
1995. MySQL is named after My, the daughter Michael Widenius, of one of the product’s
originators. It was originally produced under the GNU General Public License, in which
source code is made freely available.

1.7 Aim of the Project

Aim is to provide fast and quick online feedback about the college lecturers and HOD
by the student on time at anywhere from anyplace by just login from their valid account.

2.1.2 Key notes
Introduction to PHP:
The PHP programming language is a server-side HTML embedded scripting language.
The PHP language runs on the server-side. This means that the execution of the scripts are
done on the server where the web-site is hosted. HTML embedded means that you can use
PHP statements (read a piece of PHP code) from within an HTML code. PHP files are
returned to the browser as plain HTML.The last piece of the sentence – scripting language – is
a little harder to explain, but we will give it a go. A scripting language is a form of
programming language that is usually interpreted rather than compiled. In programming
language such as c/ c++ you compile the program into an executable file, before
you can execute the program. A program that is written in a scripting language, is interpreted
one command at a time by a command interpreter (Command interpreter is in most cases an
executable written in another language (for instance C/C++) than the scripting language.)
Some other examples of scripting languages are Perl, Python, Java and Ruby.
What is PHP?
• PHP stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor.
• As we said before it is a server-side scripting language.
• PHP is free and is an open source software product.
• The PHP scripts are executed on the server.
• PHP supports many databases (MySQL, Sybase, Oracle and many others.)
• PHP runs on different platforms (Unix, Linux, Windows.)
• PHP is compatible with almost all web-servers used today (Apache, IIS, etc.)
• A PHP file can contain plain text, HTML tags and scripts
• The PHP files can have one of the following extensions: php, php3 or phtml.

2.2 Project design

Software design is an interactive process through which requirements are translated

into a ‘Blue Print’ for constructing the software. The design is represented at high level of
abstraction, a level that can be directly translated to specific data, functional and behavioral
requirements. Preliminary design is concerned with the transformation of requirements into
data and software architecture. Detained design focuses on refinements to the architectural
representation that lead to detailed data structure and algorithmic representation for software.

15
2.2.1 Introduction to UML:
UML is a standard language for specifying, visualizing, constructing, and
documenting the artifacts of software systems. UML was created by Object Management
Group (OMG) and UML 1.0 specification draft was proposed to the OMG in January 1997.
OMG is continuously putting effort to make a truly industry standard.
 UML stands for Unified Modeling Language.
 UML is different from the other common programming languages like C++, Java,
COBOL etc.
 UML is a pictorial language used to make software blue prints. So UML can be
described as a general purpose visual modeling language to visualize, specify,
construct and document software system. Although UML is
generally used to model software systems but it is not limited within this boundary. It is also
used to model non software systems as well like process flow in a manufacturing unit etc.
UML is not a programming language but tools can be used to generate code in various
languages using UML diagrams. UML has a direct relation with object oriented analysis and
design. After some standardization UML is become an OMG (Object Management Group)
standard.

2.2.2 UML Diagrams

There are two main types of UML modeling:
3.2.1 Structural Modelling:
Structural modeling captures the static features of a system. They consist of the followings:
 Classes diagrams
 Objects diagrams
 Deployment diagrams
 Package diagrams
 Composite structure diagram
 Component diagram
3.2.2 Behavioral modelling:
Behavioral model describes the interaction in the system. It represents the interaction
among the structural diagrams. Behavioral modeling shows the dynamic nature of the system.
They consist of the following:
 Activity diagrams
 Interaction diagrams
 Use case diagrams
16
2.2.3 Project diagrams

This project deals with the various software diagrams. These diagrams are as follows:
1. Use Case Diagram
2. Activity Diagram
3. E-R Diagram
4. DFD
5. Sequence Diagram
6. Class Diagram

2.2.3.1 USE case diagram

Use case diagram consists of use cases and actors and shows the Interaction between
the use cases and actors. Use cases are the function that is to be performed in the module. An
actor could be the end user of the system or the external system.

An entity-relationship diagram (ERD) is a data modeling technique that graphically
illustrates an information system’s entities and the relationships between those entities. An
ERD is a conceptual and representational model of data used to represent the entity
framework infrastructure.

2.2.3.3 Sequence Diagram
UML sequence diagrams are used to show how objects interact in a given situation.
An important characteristic of a sequence diagram is that time passes from top to bottom, the
interaction starts near the top of the diagram and ends at the bottom. A popular use for them is
to document the dynamics in an object-oriented system.

2.2.3.4 Activity Diagram
Activity diagram is another important diagram in UML to describe dynamic aspects of the
system. Activity diagram is basically a flow chart to represent the flow form one activity to
another activity. The activity can be described as an operation of the system. So the control
flow is drawn from one operation to another. This flow can be sequential, branched or
concurrent.

2.2.3.5 Class Diagram
The class diagram is a static diagram. It represents the static view of an application.
Class diagram is not only used for visualizing, describing and documenting different aspects
of a system but also for constructing executable code of the software application. The class
diagrams are widely used in the modelling of object oriented systems because they are the
only UML diagrams which can be mapped directly with object oriented languages.

Software testing is a critical element of software quality assurance and represents the
ultimate reuse of specification. Design and code testing represents interesting anomaly for the
software during earlier definition and development phase, it was attempted to build software
from an abstract concept to tangible implementation. The testing phase involves, testing of the
development of the system .using various techniques such as White Box Testing, Control
Structure Testing.

Discussion and Future Work
4.1 Discussion :
Formative feedback is instrumental in the learning experience of a student. It can be
effective in promoting learning if it is timely, personal, manageable, motivational, and in
direct relation with assessment criteria. Despite its importance, however, research suggests
that students are discouraged from engaging in the feedback process primarily for reasons that
relate to lack of motivation and difficulty in relating to and reflecting on the feedback
comments. In this paper we present Online Feedback System (OFES), an e-learning tool that
effectively supports the provision of formative feedback. Our aims are to enhance feedback
reception and to strengthen the quality of feedback through the way feedback is
communicated to the students. We propose that an effective feedback communication
mechanism should be integrated into a student's online learning space and it is anticipated that
this provision will motivate students to engage with feedback. Empirical evidence suggests
that the developed system successfully addressed the issues of student engagement and
motivation and achieved its objectives. The results of using the system for two years indicate
a positive perception of the students which, in turn, encourage us to further explore its
effectiveness by extending its functionality and integrating it into a an open source learning
management system.

4.2 Conclusion:
The Project “Online Feedback system” is designed in order reduce the burden of
maintaining bulk of records of all the students feedback details of who study in an
Educational Institution. Inserting, retrieving and updating the feedback details of a student are
easy when it is compared to the manual feedback and storing.

39
4.3 Future Work:
This is not the overall description about the feedback system. Some more forms can
also be added so as to better retrieve the feedback details. We implemented the system as per
the college level as well as we will implement it in hotels, universities, private institutions,
management offices etc. Further enhancements can be made in designing the screens. Some
more forms can also be added so as to better retrieve the feedback details. Some more design
can also be added in the particular system. Due to the lack of time, the design part is not done
so attractive. Further enhancements can be made in designing the screens. Some more forms
can also be added so as to better retrieve the feedback details. Various other options can also
be added for the better usability of project.
