The user will type in some data on the left panel. When the user clicks on the "OK" button, the the typed data will be transferred to the right panel. Then a student object will be created, the student's information will be displayed including an evaluation of the student's GPA.

1- Layout

• The lab needs a layout in control panel with a panel on the left where the data will be typed in and a panel on the right where the data will be displayed.
• The layout of panel left and of panel right should be very similar to the picture above. Very little differences are expected due to the use of different operating systems.

2- Content of Panels

• Control Panel:
  • has two panels (left and right) already created in the starter Netbeans package.
• Left panel:
  • two labels with the description of what needs to be typed for first name and last name
  • It has to ask for first name and last name using JTextFields
  • a label asking for the age
  • It asks for the students age using a JSlider
  • A button to display the student's GPA
  • A button to generate a random GPA
  • a message button
  • a OK button
• Right panel
  • it has a button that will display the students' information
  • it has a button to display the student GPA's assessment

3- Listening requirements

• the OK button has to be listened in the right panel. This means that the right panel will implement the ActionListener that will be used when OK is pressed.
• The listener for the GPA button has to be implemented in the left panel. This means that the left panel will implement the ActionListener that will be used when the "calculate GPA" button is pressed.
