Student Organizer

Never miss a deadline again!

Student Organizer aims to help university students keep track of their never-ending pile of assignments. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has come to my attention that many of my peers are struggling to stay organized, leading to them feeling overwhelmed. This application will help reduce levels of anxiety by allowing students to do the following:

• add new assignments and include
  • a course code (e.g. CPSC 210)
  • a due date
  • an estimated time for completion
• sort outstanding assignments by their fields
• mark assignments as complete

Phase 4: Task 2

• Chose to test and design the Assignment class in the model package such that it is robust
• The methods with a robust design in the Assignment class are:
  • setName(String name)
  • setCourseCode(String courseCode)
  • setDueDate(String dueDate)
  • setEstimatedHours(double estimatedHours)

Phase 4: Task 3

Refactoring I would do to improve my design:

• From StudentOrganizerPanel, extract the loadData and saveData fields and the createMenuBar() and actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) methods into a new class "StudentOrganizerMenu", which will be in the ui package
• StudentOrganizerMenu will implement ActionListener (StudentOrganizerPanel will no longer implement ActionListener)
• There will be a bi-directional association between StudentOrganizerPanel and StudentOrganizerMenu, with a multiplicity of 1 on both ends
• The bi-directional association will allow assignments to be loaded to and saved from the StudentOrganizerPanel when the respective menu items in StudentOrganizerMenu are triggered
