This assignment will provide practice and experience in:
· Writing a program – Topic 2
· Debugging– Topic 3
· Stepwise Refinement & Modularisation – Topic 4 and Topic
10
· Selection – Topic 5
· Iteration – Topic 6

One of the many tasks that programmers get asked to do is to
convert data from one form to another. Frequently data is
presented to users in well-labelled, tabular form for easy
reading. However, it is impossible or very difficult to do further
processing of the data unless it is changed into a more useful
form.
For the purposes of this assignment I have downloaded and will
make available the undergraduate applications to the 37
Australian universities from the Department of Education for

2. 2009 – 2013 data file as a text file.
Your program will load this data into an array of structs, save
the data in a form that is directly usable by a database (see
below), display the data on the console in its original form and
in its database form. It will also allow the user to display the
highest number of applications for a given state and year.
Your program will use a menu to allow the user to choose what
task is to be done. You will only be required to handle the

8060 8974Suggested Approach (Save a new version after
each step)
I have put in brackets my assessment of the relative difficulty of
each task. I found a hard task took more effort than a medium
task which in turn took more effort than an ‘easy’ task.
1) (easy) Write a method to display instructions to the user
2) (easy) Write the code to display a menu and test it
3) (easy) Write the code to display the contents of the data file
line by line
4) (easy) Write the code to save the contents of the data file to a
new file
5) (medium) Write the code to copy the file data into a simple
array of structs where the structure is something like:
struct data string line;
and the array is
data[] myData = new data[100];
6) (easy) Write the code to deal with the unnecessary data at the
start
7) (medium) Write the code to deal with the unnecessary data at
the end
8) (hard) Write the code to modify the code to convert the
original data into database format. You do not have to follow
the exact structure given above, e.g. you could use commas

5. instead of tabs
a. You may want to divide this into two problems. First treat the
numbers as a string, i.e.
New South Wales, Charles Sturt University,"3,769"
and when you have that working then work out how to convert
"3,769" into 3769 etc
9) (easy) Modify the struct to handle the modified data
10) (easy) Modify the file save code so that is saves the
modified data
11) (medium) Write the code to find the highest number of
applications in a year for a state
NB you can simulate any step in order to gain marks. For
instance if you cannot modify the data into database format you
could have a separate file with the sample data abaove and use
that data to show that you can find the highest value in an array
of structs.Submission
You must zip (zip not rar, arg, hqx, 7z or any other format) your
entire project, include the marking sheet with the Assignment
Cover Sheet section completed and upload the one submission.
Failure to follow these instructions will delay marking and you
may be asked to resubmit the assignment correctly.
Diagnosing Organizational Systems (Psychology)
Complete an exercise designed to simulate the process of
evaluating, selecting, designing, and conducting an
organizational assessment.
As discussed previously, an organizational assessment is the
process of evaluating various areas within the organization with
regard to what is working well and what could be changed. An
organizational assessment determines how internal factors
affect external competitiveness. It involves a full-systems view
of where the organization stands to maximize the efficiency and
effectiveness in achieving the organization’s mission. When
viewed as an open system, organizations can be diagnosed at
three levels: organizational level, group level, and individual

6. level.
Identify an organization to diagnose. You may continue to use
the organization you have evaluated in previous modules’
assignments, or you may select a new organization. It is best to
select an organization where you are currently working or were
previously employed. This may be a nonprofit or volunteer
organization. However, it is essential that you can identify the
organization in terms of structure, culture, and work process.
Think of the organization as a system.
Complete the following parts of this assignment for your
selected organization:
Part A
Identify and document all of the following at the organizational
level (1–2 pages):
· The organization’s mission and purpose
· All inputs to the system
· All outputs to the system
· All processes your organization performs to transform inputs
to outputs
· Organizational environments
· Organizational alignment
· Feedback mechanisms to determine correctness or performance
measures
Part B
Identify and document all of the following for a specific group
or department at the group level (1–2 pages):
· The group’s mission and purpose
· All inputs to the system
· All outputs from the system
· All processes your group performs to transform inputs to
outputs
· Organizational fit
· Feedback mechanisms to determine correctness of performance
measures
Part C
Compare and contrast two different organizational assessment

7. tools that could be used to gather data for your organization.
Identify their pros and cons (1–2 pages).
Part D
Develop an organizational assessment tool (ten questions) at
theindividual level. This can be in a format of your choice such
as a written questionnaire or a survey form (2 pages).
Do the following when developing this tool:
· Identify a situation in your organization to be assessed. This
situation should consider areas such as funding streams,
workflow processes, organizational structure, outcome
measurement, client satisfaction, employee turnover, or its
capacity for change. Develop questions you believe will assess
the situation effectively. Write ten questions in total for your
tool.
· Explain the rationale for your approach in developing the
questions (1–2 paragraphs).
· Explain how you would administer the tool to the employees
in your chosen organization. For example, would this be a one-
time event, an annual survey, or an as-needed assessment? You
do not have to actually administer the tool; just develop a plan
for administering (1 paragraph).
· Assess and explain your chosen organization’s capacity to
change and achieve greater effectiveness including financial
performance, customer satisfaction, and employee engagement
(1–2 paragraphs).
· Select an appropriate communication and feedback method for
how you would present the assessment and OD intervention
results to your organization (1–2 paragraphs).
Write a 7 page paper, include a copy of the tool you created
along with your paper.
Assignment Components
Proficiency
Maximum Points
Identify and explain the following at an organizational and
departmental level: mission, inputs and outputs, all processes to

8. transform the inputs to outputs, organizational alignment, and
any related feedback mechanisms to determine correctness, etc.
The mission, inputs, outputs, all processes to transform the
inputs to outputs, organizational alignment, and any related
feedback mechanisms to determine correctness, etc., are clearly

processes, organizational structure, outcome measurement,
client satisfaction, employee turnover, or its capacity for
change, etc. Include a copy of the tool.
Organizational assessment tool developed at an individual level
consists of at least ten questions that are clear and logical and
include topics from many angles. Data is drawn from reliable
and scholarly resources.
