I used the use case to figure out how many user inputs we would have and came up with 4. there are 2 user outputs one for the information viewed by the admin and one for the student. 2 Inquiries again, one for user one for admin. The number of files in this site will probably have are:
Home
About
Gallery
Login
Links
Evnts
Faq
A corresponding file for the backend for each page for updates. A backup database script, a back up database dump, a css file, probably around 50 image files for various graphics around the site.
9 external interfaces counting the pages and the admin and logged in console
4 user inquires login, update, view, delete
2 user outputs view, admin
Using the function point calculator http://vista.bu.edu/webct/RelativeResourceManager/Template/course_documents/functionPoint.html
And calculated 477.04 function points mulptiplied by 20 is 9540.8 Person Hours or if split between a team of 6 developers about 40 weeks to complete
