The system addressed several problems; (1) lecturer forget to print out and bring the attendance to class, (2) lecturer misallocate the attendance, and (3) student can duplicate their friend signature whenever their friend absents to class. Besides that, for the system features; the system utilize the bar code system whereby it is enable the process of record student’s attendance become more effective and efficient. Furthermore, the staffs need to register for getting their own username and password to login the system.
