Project: MyMods

MyMods is a desktop app for tracking modules and grades, optimized for use for students who prefer typing via a Command Line Interface (CLI) while still having the benefits of a Graphical User Interface (GUI).

With MyMods, you are able to keep track of your module results efficiently, easily make S/U decisions, and view your academic progress. It is written in Java.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • New Feature: Added the ability for users to set their goal according to the university’s Honours Classification System
    • What it does: Allow the user to set their goals or view the list of goal available.
    • Justification: This feature is needed for recommendSU and Progress report feature as it needs to take into account the user’s desired goal.
    • Highlights: This enhancement affects how the application saves and read from the json file. It required an in-depth analysis of design alternatives. The implementation too was challenging as it required changes to how the file is saved and read.
  • New Feature: Added the ability for MyMods to recommend modules to S/U for the user.
    • What it does: Recommend S/U looks through the all the modules by the user and cross check with our data file on where the module can be S/U by NUS restrictions. It then compares that module’s grade with the user’s defined goal.
    • Justification: This feature gives the user more purpose of using MyMods as it is a personalised list and it is useful as students (esp NUS freshmen) have difficulty deciding what modules they should S/U.
    • Highlights: This enhancement affects existing commands (semester feature) and commands to be added in future. It required an in-depth analysis of design alternatives. The implementation too was challenging as it required consideration of OOP design principles.
