Project: Addendum for Teaching Assistants (ATAS)

ATAS is a desktop application designed to be a handy in-class companion for CS1010S Teaching Assistants. It aims to elevate users’ efficiency and make their experience of handling administrative tasks as seamless as possible. The user interacts with it using a CLI, and it has a GUI created with JavaFX. It is written in Java.

This project is based on the AddressBook-Level3 (AB3) project created by the SE-EDU initiative. AB3 has about 10 kLoC, while ATAS has about 20 kLoC modified/added on top.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • Code contributed: RepoSense link

  • New Feature: Added the ability to enter a session.
    • What it does: allows the user to enter a session to view and toggle the presence and participation status of the students.
    • Justification: This feature limits the user to view and toggle the presence and participation status of each student in a session only if the user has entered that session so that the user would know which session details he or she is editing.
    • Highlights: The implementation was quite tricky as it required changes to existing commands and the usage had to be limited to the current session tab.

    • Updated the status bar footer to show current session details (Pull request #167)
