- Developing a system that will create room easy amendment where there are errors.
1.4 Significance Of Study
This research work is greatly hoped to eliminate the manual way of scheduling examination time table in the faculty of science, national Open University. It will more also eliminate stress in planning of the time table. It will also avail the students to go for their worship at Sundays that is no more writing exams on Sundays. Students will now write exams comfortably with good venue and much time and more also eliminate examination clash.
1.5 Scope Of Study
This project work is meant to cover examination time table scheduling for faculty of science, national Open University Nigeria.
1.6 Limitation Of Study
No research work can be carried out without certain constraints either in form of finance or logistics.
This research is not an exemption and as such as money factors serves as constraints in the process of carrying out this research. Below are little of the constraints encountered.
TIME: Given the time required for the submission of this research work, the necessary attention was not given to the study coupled with the work load of any final year student.
FINANCE: Financial resources are not readily available to carry out an extensive and thorough research and the work is a tasking exercise, which requires a lot of financial commitment. Unfortunately, the money required to carry out this thorough work is not always available. As a matter of fact, finance was a constraint in this research especially with the harsh economic condition.
POWER SUPPLY:
There has been no power for this work because in the area we are living their transformer got damage has not been restored.
