Major Group Assignment!! Oh no!!

Hello faithful readers!

Me and Jacob are working together on a huge group assignment, worth a huge percentage of our mark. Our objective or purpose for this assignment is to output student report cards on the printer, with a specific format.

The information we're asked to output is as follows:

The person's name, student number, address, grade, city, mark in english, science, math, and computers, with their overall average and status (whether they failed, passed, or got in honours).

We're also required to do calculations, as we're supposed to find the average for each class. This is going to sum up a lot of the stuff we've learned in prior classes, and stuff that we still haven't learned (to the future we gooo!).

For the assignment we're asked to use application paths, in order to get the information much quicker, and so that the person who wants to edit the outputted information doesn't have to fiddle around with the code, rather, they can much easily fiddle around with notepad.

I personally think we have one of the harder questions, since we have stuff that we haven't gotten in-depth with yet, and there's a huge focus around making a much shorter code. However, Jacob and I have the highest marks in the class, so here's hoping and wishful thinking that we do good on this assignment. It's pretty complex, and I don't think we've been able to absorb a lot of the newer concepts these past few days.
