Develop a web application to view courses taken, credit counts, and grades, for Chemistry undergraduate majors. Visible to each student and their faculty advisor via NetID credentials.

Actions, decisions, and to-do's:

To do's or Next steps:

  • As of 8/19/14: Frank's group to discuss further, and follow up with Sam.

Actions and decisions made

8/19/14: Frank, Dani, and Tu spoke via 15 minute phone call with Oliver regarding his thoughts on the project.

  • We reviewed clone of FMPro data fields.
  • Discussed likely write-option for web app: None. All access would be read-only.
  • New Web app would be analogous to Grades DB where source data maintained in FMPro DB, by Student Services. And viewing would be similar, too (student/ faculty/ staff views and with proper authority).
  • In Web app, there would be no need for business logic since even the results of addition calculations would all be taken "as is" from source DB.

4/7/14: Oliver shared needs with MichaelL and FrankS. Decisions:

  • Mid-summer 2014: A&S IT will start a discovery (scoping) conversation with CCB Student Services staff.
    • Please invite Oliver to this first meeting. Thank you!
  • Depending on the actual scope of the project, and A&S IT staff availability, aim to complete project by ~Dec 2014.
  • Frank to get a clone of the FileMakerPro DB.
    • Oliver arranged for Sam to send that to Frank.

To-do's, as of this time:

  • Oliver recommends Sam write Frank at the beginning of the summer (2014) to schedule mid-summer inaugural meeting.
  • Frank to review with his staff clone of FileMakerPro DB from Student Services holding shadow copies of majors' courses completed, credit counts, and grades.

4/3/14: Oliver met with Sam to characterize needs, including timing.

4/2/14: Request from Sam to ChemIT.
