A program that finds a college student's average and final grades.

Assignment

Write a program to find the average and final grade for a college student's course work.

Constraints

• Student type can be either Grad or UnderGrad.
• Both student types can have any number of the following:
  • Assignments
  • Discussions
  • Midweek Assignments
• Grad students have one additional assignment - a Final Thesis.
• The final average for UnderGrad students is based on the following:
  • Assignments @ 65%
  • Discussions @ 25%
  • Midweek Assignments @ 10%
• The final average for Grad students is based on the following:
  • Assignments @ 40%
  • Discussions @ 15%
  • Midweek Assignments @ 15%
  • Final Thesis @ 30%
• Grades should be of type double.
• UnderGrad and Grad students can have one extra credit point for the IDEA Course Survey added to their final average.

Requirements

• Request the first and last name of a student (separately).
• Request student type of either UnderGrad or Grad.
• Request the number of Assignments, Discussions, and Midweek Assignments.
• Enter grades for each category.
• Ask the student if they took the IDEA Survey.
• Use separate (external to the main class) subclasses.
• Subclasses should use constructors and initializers as well as set and get methods.
• UnderGrad and Grad student should be subclasses of a Student superclass.
• Final grade averages should output to two decimal places.
• Implement a loop to return and enter a new set of student grades (run the program again) if the user wishes to.

Notes

• Student type subclasses (Grad & UnderGrad) will hold the differences between the student types.
• The Student superclass can do the averaging.
• Consider using boxed ArrayLists for holding the grades from the different grade categories.
