In my experience, a process that often requires improvement is the class registration system at a university. This process can be cumbersome, with students facing issues such as unclear course availability, timing clashes, and slow system response times during peak registration periods.

To address these issues, the following five functional requirements for an improved registration system are proposed:

1. The system must display real-time course availability status to prevent students from selecting full classes. 2. The system must automatically detect and notify students of any schedule conflicts between selected courses before finalizing the registration. 3. The system must provide an estimated wait time when the server is experiencing high traffic to set the right expectations for students. 4. The system must allow students to save a list of preferred courses and times prior to the registration date to streamline the selection process. 5. The system must incorporate a feature to suggest alternative classes or sections based on the student's major requirements and past academic records to assist in timely graduation.

Respond to the post above by critically evaluating all of the following:

1. Should the process identified actually be considered a "process"? That is, does it meet the definition of "a set of specified steps to accomplish a task"? Why or why not?
2. Do the functional requirements listed support the selected process?
3. Are the functional requirements clearly stated such that system testers will be able to ascertain whether or not the requirement has been implemented?
4. Provide an example of a rewritten functional requirement that improves one of the existing user requirements in the information provided above.
