Marks$)$

You have been tasked with creating a Python program that calculates and manages the grades of

students. The program should allow instructors to input student information and scores for assignments

and exams and then calculate the final grades based on a specified grading scheme.

Requirements:

$1.$ Student Information:

$$ Create a class called Student to store the following information:

o Student ID $($integer$)$

o First name $($string$)$

o Last name $($string$)$

o Email address $($string$)$

$2.$ Assignment and Exam Scores:

$$ Create a class called Course that will contain a list of students and methods to manage their

scores.

$$ In the Course class, implement the following methods:

o add$\_$student$($student: Student$)$: Add a student to the course.

o add$\_$assignment$\_$score$($student$\_$id: int, score: float$)$: Add an assignment score $($as a

floating$-$point number$)$ for a student.

o add$\_$exam$\_$score$($student$\_$id: int, score: float$)$: Add an exam score $($as a floating$-$point

number$)$ for a student.

o get$\_$student$\_$average$($student$\_$id: int$)$: Calculate and return the average score for a

student, which is a weighted average of assignment scores $(40\%)$ and exam scores

$(60\%).$

$3.$ Grading Scheme:

$$ The final course grade for each student should be determined based on the following grading

scheme:

A: $90\%$ and above

B: $80\%-89\mathrm{.}9\%$

$2$

C: $70\%-79\mathrm{.}9\%$

D: $60\%-69\mathrm{.}9\%$

F: Below $60\%$

$$ Implement a method calculate$\_$final$\_$grades$()$ in the Course class to calculate and assign

letter grades to each student based on their average scores.

$4.$ User Interaction:

$$ Create a menu$-$driven program that allows the instructor to:

$$ Add students to the course.

$$ Add assignment and exam scores for each student.

$$ Calculate and display the final grades for all students.

$$ Exit the program.

Additional Guidelines:

$$ Use appropriate exception handling to handle errors such as invalid student IDs or scores.

$$ Implement validation to ensure that scores are within a reasonable range $(0$ to $100).$

$$ Make use of object$-$oriented principles and encapsulation in your code.

$$ Provide comments and documentation to explain your code's functionality.

Submission Requirements:

Submit a Python program that implements the above requirements. Include a sample run of the

program to demonstrate its functionality.
