Kitchen Gadgets Kitchen Gadgets Sells A Line Of High Quality Kitchen

Kitchen Gadgets sells a line of high-quality kitchen utensils and gadgets. When customers place orders on the company’s website or through electronic data interchange (EDI), the system checks to see if the items are in stock, issues a status message to the customer, and generates a shipping order to the warehouse, which fills the order. When the order is shipped, the customer is billed. The system also produces various reports.

Create a decision table that describes the Big State University course catalog regarding eligibility for MIS 260, showing all possible rules based on prerequisites completion and instructor’s permission.

Decision table for Big State University's MIS 260 eligibility

Understanding the prerequisites and permissions required for enrollment in MIS 260 at Big State University requires a detailed analysis of the university’s policies. Specifically, students must have completed both MIS 120 and MIS 222 to be automatically eligible for MIS 260. Alternatively, students who have completed only one of these prerequisites can still enroll if they obtain the instructor’s permission. This complex policy can be effectively represented using a decision table, which enumerates all possible situations and their corresponding eligibility outcomes.

Decision Variables

  • Completed MIS 120: Yes / No
  • Completed MIS 222: Yes / No
  • Instructor’s Permission: Yes / No

Decision Rules

The rules can be summarized as follows:

  1. If a student has completed both MIS 120 and MIS 222, then the student is eligible without needing instructor permission.
  2. If a student has completed only MIS 120 and has instructor permission, then the student is eligible.
  3. If a student has completed only MIS 222 and has instructor permission, then the student is eligible.
  4. If a student has completed only MIS 120 or only MIS 222 without instructor permission, then the student is not eligible.
  5. If neither MIS 120 nor MIS 222 has been completed and no instructor permission is granted, then the student is not eligible.

Decision Table

MIS 120 Completed MIS 222 Completed Instructor Permission Eligibility for MIS 260
Yes Yes - Yes
Yes No Yes Yes
No Yes Yes Yes
No No Yes No
Yes No No No
No Yes No No
Yes Yes No Yes
No No No No

Analysis

This decision table comprehensively covers all possible scenarios pertaining to course eligibility. It clearly delineates situations where students can enroll in MIS 260 based on their prerequisite completion status and instructor’s permission. The table can be used as a reference for university enrollment systems and academic advisors to streamline the registration process and ensure adherence to university policies.

Conclusion

By formalizing the rules into a decision table, Big State University can efficiently communicate enrollment policies, automate eligibility verification, and maintain clarity in course registration procedures. This approach also facilitates administrative audits and policy updates by providing a transparent and comprehensive overview of the enrollment criteria.
