Practical Problem
This course is designed to mainly develop the programming skills of learners. In addition, the students should critically think to resolve problems. From this concept, this TMA is prepared.
In this TMA, each student is asked to write a java program which can calculate the average grades of the courses that has been completed by each particular student during the last two semesters Spring 16/17 and Fall 17/18. Please go through the following specification in order to complete this TMA successfully:

• The program can be implemented using either JApplet or JFrame classes.
• The courses and grades that was completed on Spring 16/17 should be hard-coded as variables in the code itself (e.g. int M105=80) and the grades should match your marks according to the SIS records.
• The courses and grades that was completed on Fall 17/18, should be read through a GUI interface as follows:
o The user should be asked to enter the number (n) of courses completed on Fall 17/18.




o Based on the entered number and after pressing the button “Click”, the GUI should show n text fields to allow the user enter the course code and the corresponding grade as shown in the Figure below:



• After entering the grades of the courses (according to your transcript from SIS), the student should press the button “Calculate Average” on the GUI.
• This button should calculate the average of all courses studied in the two semesters. The program should calculate the average grade by summing up the total marks of the hard-coded courses in the program + the marks of the courses entered on the GUI interface, then divide it over the total number of courses as per the example below:

Hard-coded courses in Spring 16/17
int m105 = 70
int m129 = 88
int T175A = 77

GUI courses in Fall 17/18


When pressing “Calculate Average”, the result should be ((70+88+77) + (90+55+65+78))/7 = 74.2%
Important notes:
 Copy & Past is not allowed and subjected to AOU plagiarism policy.
 All the marks used in the code and entered in the GUI should exactly match the student transcript from SIS.
 A copy from your transcript extracted from SIS should be included in the submitted file.
 Students who fail in submitting the copy of his/her transcript or entering incorrect grades will result in awarding the student ZERO.
The code should be copied and pasted on the Word document and NetBeans Project should be submitted as well
 Note that the title of the GUI interface should include students’ID_student’s name.
