If a physician leaves the clinic, all prescriptions written by that physician…arrow_forwardTo conduct an exam, an instructor first notifies the students of the exam date and the material to be covered. She then prepares the exam paper(with sample solutions), gets it copied to produce enough copies for the class, and hands it out to students on the designated time and location.The students write their answers to exam questions and hand in their papers to the instructor. The instructor then gives the exam papers to theTAs (Test Assistant), along with sample solutions to each question, and gets them to mark it. She then records all marks and returns the papersto the students. Draw a sequence diagram that represents this process. Make sure to show when is each actor participating in the process. Also,show the operation that is carried out during each interaction, and what its arguments are.arrow_forward
