1. Company Introduction

1.1. Introduction to Company

Shilpee Theatre, located in Battisputali, Kathmandu was established in 2006. It has two modern theatre halls, ‘Gothale Theatre’ with 210 seat capacity which was named after the much-acclaimed Nepalese playwright late Govinda Bahadur Gokhale, and another Shilpee Theatre with 180 seat capacity. In the Nepali language, the word Shilpee means artist. (Anon., 2018)

It was established with five theatre artists and there are ten members in the group. Among ten members, five are full-time artists, two are administrative staff, two are ushers, and an Artistic Director with a Board of Directors to support and lead its activities. Shilpee aims to draw raw stories in the theatre laboratory from the society, polish it and send it back to the society as the delicious theatrical dish. Shilpee theatre mostly runs a social play as it believes drama can play an active role for the society to raise awareness to eradicate different social problems. This theatre has worked with different organizations like MS Nepal, Action Aid Nepal, World Vision International, and SAWTEE. (Anon., 2018)

2. Critical Evaluation

2.1. Further discussion on learning experience

In the coursework of the module Database’, we were assigned to design and implement a Theatre Operator system. The coursework was very much helpful for better understanding of database which made more familiar with designing and developing database system and normalizing the database into 3rd normal form.

First of all, a case study on Shilpee Theatre was done through their website. The business rules, business activities and operations of the theatre was studied from which the required information was found and the scenario was also made according to the information of the theatre. Many difficulties were faced while completing the coursework, one of which was normalization. Normalizing the database to 3rd normal form was quiet difficult and challenging. To overcome the obstacle in normalization many research was done from different web resources. Also, the information and examples in lecture and tutor slides was very helpful. Analyzing the entities was very important for doing the normalization. So by looking the scenario, entities and attributes were finalized and normalization was done. Then, an ER diagram was created based on those entities and the table was created and value were inserted. After creating table, the given queries were done.

All in all, it was a great experience doing the coursework which required a lot of hard work and research. But, all the hard work and research was very fruitful as it made more confident while designing and implementing database which is very useful not only for the successful completion of the coursework but also for the future basis. Also, our tutors has helped a lot to overcome the problems we faced. Thus, the coursework was difficult, challenging yet interesting.

2.2. Critical assessment of coursework

The coursework of the module Database was given in week 6 which has to be submitted in week 11. In these weeks many researches and findings were done about database in order to do normalization and solve different queries. At first, it was very tough to understand the coursework and to implement it. But, after many findings things were much trouble-free than before.

This module relates to two of the modules in this semester, one is Software Engineering and the other is Emerging Programming Platforms & Technologies. In both of the modules, database helps to store the obtained data securely and systematically. Similarly, to avoid different kind of data loss or data insecurity database is very important. Many skills and knowledge was obtained through this coursework which is very useful for our future purpose. The skills and knowledge obtained from this coursework will be helpful in the long run in terms of perusing future studies in the field of database and to work in the field related to database management system. The knowledge of normalizing data can be very helpful for reducing data redundancy and the experience gained throughout the project will be very much fruitful in future.

Likewise, this module has also helped directly or indirectly to do much better in other modules as well. After completing the coursework, knowledge about database has increased. Moreover, concluding the coursework was a very challenging thing which required a lot of dedication.
