Classroom Management System

This project implements a classroom management system using object-oriented programming principles in Java. The system models the interactions between Professors, Students, and Lessons while demonstrating the use of design patterns like Observer to manage updates and notifications.

Features

• Identifiable Entities: All entities (Professors, Students, Lessons) have unique identifiers.
• Observer Pattern: Students receive notifications when a Professor updates a lesson summary.
• Professor and Student Management: Professors can add/remove lessons, while students can enroll in or leave lessons and receive updates when the lesson summary changes.
• Lesson Management: Professors can fill in summaries for lessons, and students are notified of updates to the lesson summary.

Design Patterns Used

Observer Pattern

The Observer Pattern is used to notify students when a professor updates a lesson summary. This allows students to automatically receive updates without the professor having to manually notify each one.

Other Design Patterns

• Strategy Pattern (optional): This can be added to enable flexible behaviors related to lesson summaries or lesson management, allowing the behavior to vary without modifying core classes.

Classes Overview

• Identifiable Interface: Guarantees that all entities have a unique identifier.
• Person Class: A base class for both Professors and Students that includes the name and unique identifier.
• Observer Interface: Allows students to receive updates when a professor makes changes to a lesson.
• Subject Class: Maintains a list of observers (students) and notifies them when the lesson summary is updated.
• Professor Class: Allows professors to add/remove lessons and edit summaries for those lessons.
• Student Class: Implements the Observer interface to receive notifications when lesson summaries are updated.
• Lesson Class: Represents a lesson, including its name, number, summary, and associated students.

Getting Started

To use this project locally, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ThiagoSantosOFC/classroom-management.git

2. Open the project in your favorite IDE (e.g., IntelliJ IDEA).

3. Build and run the project.

4. You can execute the program by running the Main class, which demonstrates how Professors, Students, and Lessons interact in the system.
