Inspiration
We were frustrated with all present grade predictors for being overcomplicated. Figuring out what grades you need in future assignments, quizzes, and tests to get a certain grade is hard.
What it does
Allows you to determine the minimum grade needed to achieve your grade goals.
How we built it
We used HTML, CSS, JavaScript (with jQuery) for frontend, and Flask (Python) with EC2 instance for backend.
Challenges we ran into
The Blackboard API was initially planned to be used to directly gather data from Blackboard. It was realized that it was not possible to gather grade data without being given admin access to a school's LMS system.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Managing to create a functioning website and have the coding running in 24 hours.
What we learned
APIs, Blackboard, and how to create a website.
What's next for Grade Goals
It will be able to gather grade data without the user needing to manually enter in their grades.
