Inspiration

Students have busy lives. When courses start, student's rush to view their syllabus to add all their assessments to their calendar. This takes up a bunch of time, and time is crucial for students. Instead of valuable time being wasted tediously transferring assessment after assessment into their calendars, Syllabus Fetch makes this process 10x easier.

What it does

All you have to do is input the general details about your assessments, and a .csv file will be automatically created for you so that you can import it to ANY calendar app of your choice.

How we built it

We used Java for the backend and Java Swing for the frontend. We used a two-tier architecture with a UI and a domain tier. The UI layer handles user input and output, and the domain layer handles all the logic and data management. Together, they communicate to form this amazing app!

Challenges we ran into

Java Swing was relatively new to us, so having to learn and implement that under time constraints posed a respectable challenge. Moreover, our group mates were unfamiliar with one another and had different specialties when it came to our coding knowledge. This made communication difficult at first, but through perseverance and our common goal to succeed, we managed to overcome these challenges.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We sufficiently planned our project, roles, and ideas to effectively use the allotted time to do the best we could. We were proud of the fact that all the knowledge that we have learnt throughout our individual coding careers came together to produce a project that encompasses all of our abilities.
