PROG5001 Assignment 1

This assignment asks students to create a Java program to manage student marks for a unit. The program must allow users to input a unit name and marks for 25 students, validate the marks are between 0-100, calculate and display the highest/lowest marks (Algorithm 1) and mean/standard deviation (Algorithm 2). Students must write pseudo code for the algorithms and submit their project files, demonstration video and GitHub link. The assignment is worth 30% and due by the specified date. Help is permitted from examples and classmates but not online sources, as students need to master fundamental concepts.

Since you are mastering fundamental skills, you are


permitted to work from the examples in the MySCU
site or textbook, but you must acknowledge
assistance from other textbooks or classmates. In
particular, you must not use online material or help
from others, as this would prevent you from
mastering these concepts.
