Design And Implementation Of An Attendance System Using Fingerprint Scanner

CHAPTER FIVE
SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
5.1    Summary
49
This research work, Design and Implementation of an Attendance System Using Fingerprint Scanner, was carried to find an adequate and efficient substitute to the current manual system of attendance carried out in City University. The current manual system was proven to be loop holed in many aspects and therefore a system analysis needed to be carried out. This research work came up with a computerized fingerprint attendance management system which can adequately replace the manual system in use. It will better the attendance process in general and collation of attendance at the end of a semester or event. This helps show how imperative this system is to the education sector. A detailed procedure as to how this new system was developed and implemented was also detailed out.
5.2    Conclusion
At the end of this research work, we can safely come to a unanimous conclusion that the benefits and the importance of a fingerprint attendance management system cannot be overemphasized. This research work has made the attendance process reliable, efficient, accurate and convenient. This system which was designed to eliminate problems faced by the manual system which include buddy-signing, late attendance, compilation of attendance reports and the inefficiency of paper files for attendance is indeed ready for full implementation.
5.3    Recommendations
It is highly recommended that City University adopt this new system because of its proven efficiency. It is also very important we follow the trend of the world, as the use of computers and technology in general is growing fast globally. Although this research project is complete in itself, there is always a future scope for improvement and that is why it is also recommended more research work be carried out to incorporate other departments in the university to be able to use this system to the fullest.
