Project: TAsker

TAsker is a desktop address book application used for teaching Software Engineering principles. The user interacts with it using a CLI, and it has a GUI created with JavaFX. It is written in Java, and has about 10 kLoC.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • Implement the student model: Update Person model to student

    • What it does:

      Includes student specific fields such as their matriculation number, telegram.

    • Justification:

      Existing models were missing critical fields which TAs needed for administration.

      Including these fields in the model would mean we can extend existing commands to add these in as parameters.

    • Highlights:

      Implementing regex was difficult as both matriculation number and telegram handle had different constraints.

      Refactoring tests was painful but made easier thanks to the Builder pattern we used for Person tests.

  • Show attendance command: Added a command that allows the user view attendance of a student at a specific date

    • What it does:

      Allows users to view attendance of a student at a specified date.

    • Justification:

      Teaching assistants may need to know whether a student is present or absent on during tutorial dates.

      This feature allows them to perform that check.

  • Delete consultation command: Added a command that allows the user to delete a consultation slot.

    • What it does:

      Allows users to delete consultations.

    • Justification:

      In the event users have keyed in an incorrect consultation slot or want to remove a consultation slot, this feature allows them to do so.

  • Code contributed: RepoSense link

  • Project management:

    • Organize weekly project meetings
    • Distribute weekly tasks for first sprint (v1.1 - v1.2).
    • Check on team members to see if they need help for tasks.
