About

College Grade Calculator: The EZ-est site on the web.

Purpose of this site

College Grade Calculator is a tool for students to figure out their current average in a class, then see what they need to score on the remaining percentage to achieve an A, B, C etc. The remaining percentage could be the class final, or just any remaining assignments.

Why have this site?

It can often be stressful going into an exam not knowing if you will get the grade you want or even pass the class. This tool can be used to achieve peace of mind in knowing exactly what you'll need to get each grade.

Who am I?

My name is Adam, I'm a current student at McGill University in Montreal. This site provides me the opportunity to demonstrate a real-world-applicable coding example using cutting edge front-end technologies.

Technology

This site was built visually using Bootstrap and the extension Kickstrap. These HTML/css/javascript frameworks provide amazing visual organization for cutting edge websites and provide support for seemingly every sort of setting (old browsers, screen size and resolution, operating system). The calculating function is a simple javascript program embedded in the page. The previous version of this site used an external python script. The current version, being fully client-side, operates much more efficiently.

New version of site is live using javascript calculate function and bootstrap/kickstrap UI.

New features in progress:

Ability to store scores from multiple classes in different tabs. This could include different grade schemes. Part of this feature would include a simple "add" button to add as many classes as desired. Will require some re-thinking of the datastructures: possibly more object oriented model
Login/user database. Users would be able to access their info from different computers.
Instant calculate function (so the user won't have to click calculate) sort of like this site. Thinking this could just call the calculate function after focusing out of any input text box.
Other calculate functions, such as a GPA calculator, which can be easily selected from a drop down on home page.
