Section 5: Evaluation
This application meets requirements. All the features are implemented. Functions are easy to use but their interfaces are not friendly. To do this program, first, I list all the application features and note the support references from the Textbook and the Lecture. This helps me to find easily the necessary information to complete these features. Next, I create a plan of all the steps and the time to finish the program. Finally, I implement the plan and monitor progress. However, I did not follow exactly the time in the plan then some of tasks are not as good as expected. To make this program become a product used by real users, it should be designed with better user interface and additional features like edit, delete, statistic.
