1.1.
Overview
This project aims to develop an instructor evaluation management system in PHP. The
system will allow students to evaluate their instructors and provide feedback. The
feedback will be anonymous and will be used to improve the quality of teaching and
instruction.
1.2. Background of the organization
(If applicable)
1.3. Statement of the problem
The current instructor evaluation process is often informal and unstructured. Students
may be asked to complete paper-based evaluations at the end of a course, but the
feedback is often not collected systematically and is not used to improve teaching.
1.4. Objectives of the Project
1.4.1. General objective
To develop an instructor evaluation management system that is efficient, user-friendly,
and anonymous.
1.4.2. Specific objectives
To allow students to evaluate their instructors online.
To collect feedback from students in a systematic and anonymous manner.
To provide instructors with feedback from their students.
To help instructors improve the quality of their teaching.
1.5. Feasibility study
The project is feasible from a technical and economic standpoint. The necessary skills
and resources are available, and the cost of developing and deploying the system is
reasonable.
1.6. Significance of the project
The project will benefit both students and instructors. Students will benefit from a more
transparent and effective instructor evaluation process. Instructors will benefit from
feedback from their students, which will help them improve the quality of their teaching.
1.7. Beneficiaries of the Project
The main beneficiaries of the project will be:
Students
Instructors
1.8. Methodology
1.8.1. Data Collection
Data will be collected from a variety of sources, including:
Existing instructor evaluation forms
Student surveys
Instructor interviews
1.8.2. System Development Methodology
The project will use the Agile development methodology. This methodology is iterative
and incremental, which means that the system will be developed and tested in small
stages. This will allow for early feedback and adjustments to be made as needed.
1.9. Development Tools and Technologies
The following tools and technologies will be used to develop the system:
1.9.1. Frontend Technologies
HTML
CSS
JavaScript
React
1.9.2. Backend Technologies
PHP
Laravel
1.9.3. Documentation and Modeling Tools
Google Docs
PlantUML
1.9.4. Deployment Environment
Heroku
1.10. Scope
The scope of the project is to develop an instructor evaluation management system that
includes the following features:
Online instructor evaluation forms
Anonymous feedback collection
Feedback reports for instructors
Administrative features for managing users and evaluations
1.11. Risks, assumptions and constraints
Risks:
o Technical challenges: There is a risk that the development team may encounter
technical challenges that could delay the project or increase the cost.
o User acceptance: There is a risk that students and instructors may not accept the
system, or that they may not use it regularly.
Assumptions:
o The development team has the necessary skills and experience.
o Students and instructors are willing to use the system.
Constraints:
o The project must be completed within a certain budget and timeframe.
1.12. Phases and Deliverables of Project
The project will be divided into the following phases:
Requirements gathering and analysis
System design
System development
System testing
System deployment
The following deliverables will be produced at the end of each phase:
Requirements gathering and analysis: Requirements document
System design: System architecture and design documentation
System development: Working prototype of the system
System testing: Test report
System deployment: Deployment package and documentation
