Project: EduTrack

EduTrack is a desktop app for managing classes designed for tutors, optimized for use via a Command Line Interface (CLI) while still having the benefits of a Graphical User Interface (GUI). Whether you're juggling multiple students or just need quick access to individual student data, EduTrack empowers you with effortless control and organization

Given below are my contributions to the project.

• New Feature: Added the ability to remove a class from EduTrack

  • What it does: Allows the user to remove existing classes, so that EduTrack is up to date
  • Justification: This feature is important to the product as it enables the user to correct mistakes made when creating a new class
  • Highlights: This is a core feature as it is part of the CRUD of EduTrack. To implement this feature well, I analysed the relationship between the classes and students. In view of this, I created a cascading effect where the deletion of a class would result in the deletion of the students of the class

• New Feature: Added the ability to mark a student present for a lesson in EduTrack

  • What it does: Allows the user to mark a student present if they attended their lesson, this enables the user to keep track of their student's attendance
  • Justification: This feature serves as the main functionality of our application. Which is to enable users with a convenient way to track the present and overall attendance of their students
  • Highlights: This feature was challenging as I had to weigh the pros and cons of two different implementation methods. The more challenging solution is to maintain a state of all lessons which would have been difficult to implement and moved the project towards a "morph" methodology. Thus I decided to stick with a simpler approach.

• New Feature: Added the ability to mark a student absent for a class in EduTrack

  • What it does: Allows the user to mark a student absent if they did not attend their lesson, this enables the user to keep track of their student's attendance
  • Justification: This feature is important because it serves as the main functionality of our application. Which is to enable users with a convenient way to track the present and overall attendance of a student
  • Highlights: Similar to the previous feature, this feature was challenging as I had to weigh the pros and cons of two different implementation methods. The more challenging solution is to maintain a state of all lessons which would have moved the project towards a "morph" methodology. Thus, I decided to stick with a simpler approach which requires integration with the total class attendance.

• New Feature: Added the ability to mark all students in a class present in EduTrack

  • What it does: Allows the user to mark all students in their class present for a lesson, which is convenient in the event most of all their students attend their class
  • Justification: This feature adds a lot of convenience to the user especially when they have many students to mark present
  • Highlights: I was able to build on the mark student present for this command. This greatly reduced code required and complexity to implement this feature which made the code easier to maintain

• Code contributed: RepoSense Link

• Project management:

  • Managed releases of v1.2, v1.3, v1.3.trial and v1.4 on Github
  • Established well-defined internal deadlines for every milestone, to ensure everyone in the team knows when to do assigned tasks by
  • Managed the milestones and issues for all iterations which helped to ensure that tasks are clearly segregated and defined for each member
  • Co-led discussions during weekly team meetings
  • Planned out final product demo video structure

• Documentation:

      • Mark all students present in a class (PR #154)
    • Added the following items for the mark student present command:
