Semester Transition Advising Tool / Schedtool
Schedtool was given to us by a group of students from the previous year. Most of the difficulty presented to the team was understanding and unpacking what was actually given to us. Early responsibilities were involved with simplifying the whole system and removing any tools that were either deprecated or not needed for what we were planning to do with the project. After this process, we had renamed the project to STAT and my new responsibilities were, with the assistance of another group member, creating a front end application that would display information. This was accomplished with “Blobs” in a month chart with data that would be accumulated by code created by the back end team. We utilized React as a front end program and Flask in conjunction to create a visually pleasing application as well as an easy to understand code base. Most code was implemented in JavaScript and CSS. Schedtool being thrown into our group’s lap gave us good insight toward how to read new code and understanding how everything is connected throughout the entire application.
