Student Organizer

Organize all things student-related in one place!

The Student Organizer is an application that allows users to organize and view key information about a student in one place, storing user input by reading and writing to files.

It was created for my client, a primary teacher, as part of the IB CS Higher Level Internal Assessment, and attained a score of 7/7.

With the Student Organizer, you can:

1. Manage student and year group portfolios, storing data such as grades, allergies, birthdates, etc.
2. Create visualizations and schedule birthdates on a calendar and grades for a class group in a table.
3. Search and retrieve student information based on any data stored.

Running the Program

Download the files and run StudentOrganizer.java. This initializes the main class, MainWindow.java.

Technical Documentation

The front-end is constructed with Java Swing.

Top-Down Design of GUI Frames, Showing Navigation Paths Between Frames

• Each JFrame is contained in the corresponding [JFrameName].java file.

The back-end is constructed using several Java utilities, including RegEx, ArrayList, PrintWriter, and Scanner.

• RegEx utility is used for data validation of user inputted data in various JFrames such as AddStudent.java or AddClass.java.
• BirthdayCalendar.java and GradeTable.java use the ArrayList utility to generate dynamic 2D String[][] arrays to display birthdates in a calendar, and grades in a table.
• ReaderHelper.java and WriterHelper.java classes contain methods which use File, PrintWriter, and Scanner utilities to read and write data to the appropriate files, classFile.txt, gradeFile.txt, or studentFile.txt.
• SearchHelper.java contains methods to search for students.
• Student.java contains initialization methods of Student objects. Each Student object contains a StudentGrade object, which is initialized in StudentGrade.java.
• ClassGroup.java contains initialization methods of ClassGroup objects, which contain Student objects.
• GradeEditor.java, EditStudents.java, ClassEditor.java contain methods to manage information of the various objects.
• ViewStudents.java is used to display information stored in Student objects.
