Making a Use Case, please help! i would really appreciate it, and would be of great help.?
an example it at the top. ^
how do i Create a set of use cases for an online university
registration system. The system should enable the
staff of each academic department to examine the
courses offered by their department, add and
remove courses, and change the information about
them (e.g., the maximum number of students permitted).
It should permit students to examine currently
available courses, add and drop courses to
and from their schedules, and examine the courses
for which they are enrolled. Department staff
should be able to print a variety of reports about the
courses and the students enrolled in them. The system
should ensure that no student takes too many
courses and that students who have any unpaid fees
are not permitted to register. (Assume that a fees
data store is maintained by the university’s financial
office, which the registration system accesses but
does not change).
or
Create a set of use cases for the following system: A
Video Store (AVS) runs a series of fairly standard
video stores. Before a video can be put on the shelf,
it must be catalogued and entered into the video
database. Every customer must have a valid AVS
customer card in order to rent a video. Customers
rent videos for three days at a time. Every time a
customer rents a video, the system must ensure that
this customer does not have any overdue videos. If
so, the overdue videos must be returned and an overdue
fee paid before the customer can rent more
videos. Likewise, if the customer has returned overdue
videos, but has not paid the overdue fee, the fee
must be paid before new videos can be rented. Every
morning, the store manager prints a report that lists
overdue videos; if a video is two or more days overdue,
the manager calls the customer to remind him
or her to return the video. If a video is returned in
damaged condition, the manager removes it from the
video database and may sometimes charge the customer
or
Create a set of use cases for a university library borrowing
system. (Do not worry about catalogue
searching, etc.) The system will record the books
owned by the library and will record who has borrowed
what books. Before someone can borrow a
book, he or she must show a valid ID card that is
checked to ensure that it is still valid against the
student database maintained by the registrar’s office
(for student borrowers), the faculty/staff database
maintained by the personnel office (for faculty/staff
borrowers), or against the library’s own guest database
(for individuals issued a “guest” card by the
library). The system must also check to ensure that
the borrower does not have any overdue books or
unpaid fines before he or she can borrow another
book. Every Monday, the library prints and mails
postcards to those people with overdue books. If a
book is overdue by more than two weeks, a fine will
be imposed and a librarian will telephone the borrower
to remind him or her to return the book(s).
Sometimes books are lost or are returned in damaged
condition. The manager must then remove
them from the database and will sometimes impose
a fine on the borrower.

A Use Case is very simple. "The user can log on to the system, will be presented with visual verification that the connection is encrypted, and will be presented with a suitable interface depending on the role or level of access the user has in the system."
That's your ostensible question right there. You didn't give any context on the rest, which looks as if it was taken verbatim from an introductory class in programming in the latter half of that course. I know I've written the first one using SQL and C if I recall correctly, the second one using Java and linked lists, and the last one modelled down to 3rd normal form in SQL.

They gave you a solid example - a very nice worksheet to fill out. What more help could you possibly hope to receive from the internet? Basically, you're just writing down on paper a bunch of if-then statements. "Meet the requirements? If so, proceed..." type stuff. You don't even have to worry about procedure (A must come before B must come before C, in order), just whether an action can be performed or not; that and a couple of maintenance runs (such as the fine imposed by the library).
Just follow the example they gave you. I think the least challenging of the three (as written) would be the course registration system. Very simple.

I've got to say that the Beatles or Pink Floyd are both in the running for the greatest bands, but the Beatles I think edge out because I think that they had the greatest variety of music from love songs (I Saw Her Standing There...etc.), songs from the soul (Let It Be), and as mentioned experimental (Lucy In The Sky, I Am the Walrus). The Beatles also happen to be my favorite band. That is just my opinion.
