Project: TAssist

TAssist is a desktop application used by CS2106 Teaching Assistants (TAs) for tracking their students in different tutorial and/or lab groups. It tracks students' essential information like names, numbers or telegram handles, matriculation numbers, school/faculty, and other relevant information.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

• New Feature: Add the ability to update the students lab score. (Pull requests #74, #105, #202)

  • What it does: allows the user to update a student's lab score for a specific lab one at a time. Also allows the user to update the maximum score of the specified lab.
  • Justification: This feature improves the product because it provides an easy way to update and view each student lab score at a glance.
  • Enhancement: Added bulk command to allow user to update all the students maximum lab score for the specified lab at the same time.
    • Justification: For the same lab assignment, students will not have different maximum scores since they are doing the same assignment.
  • Enhancements: Added an extra command to allow user to update a specified student lab score and the maximum lab score at the same time.
    • Justification: It provides a shortcut for the user to update both at the same time instead of needing to run two different commands.
  • Credits: NIL

• New Feature: Added the ability to undo and redo unlimited number previous commands. (Pull requests #144, #232)

  • What it does: allows the user to undo all previous commands one at a time. Preceding undo commands can be reversed by using the redo command. However, if any changes were made after a command was undone, there would be nothing to redo.
  • Justification: This feature improves the product because a user can make mistakes in commands and the app should provide a convenient way to rectify them.
