Welcome to JavaRanch.

JSP implies a web frontend; is that you want to do? The other possibility would be a desktop application (which would use the Swing GUI framework).

You may want to work through the Sun Java Tutorial chapter on GUIs and the chapter on JDBC (which is the Java API used to connect to databases). You'd need JDBC regardless of whether the frontend is a web app or a desktop app.

If its supposed to be a web front end then JSP would be the usual way to go (there are about a zillion web frameworks out there to add onto JSP/replace JSP but its better I think to start with plain JSP). If its a GUI front end then Swing is what you want for the client side. The database access should be the same either way, via JDBC API....sounds like a tough assignment for 2 weeks if youre only getting started with java

Try some online tutorials for JDBC, JSP and/or swing....

That depends on your experience with Swing and JDBC. Someone who is well familiar with these can probably whip something up in a couple of days. If you're new to both then it's going to be a very tough two weeks.

Quite so. Something tells me that either your teacher assumes you already have some experience, or you have been postponing the assignment a bit. I'm saying the former.
