The Unified Modeling Language, or UML
“The Unified Modeling Language, or UML, as it is popularly known by its TLA (three-letter acronym!), is the language that can be used to model systems and make them readable. This essentially means that UML provides the ability to capture the characteristics of a system by using notations. UML provides a wide array of simple, easy to understand notations for documenting systems based on the object-oriented design principles. These notations are called the nine diagrams of UML.”

In this exercise, you will be developing the first of the UML diagrams, known as a Use-Case diagram. Before beginning this lab, be sure to read the articles and watch the videos that are in your Reading & Study folder.
In this lab, you are a Systems Analyst working for Liberty University. It is your responsibility to produce a Use Case diagram (complete with Use Case descriptions for each Use Case) for a system that will model an existing system. The system that you choose to model is your decision. Some examples are the systems that you use to apply for admission to the university, the system you use to sign up for classes, the system you use to order textbooks or another system of which you are familiar.
