Introduction:

Building a Group Generator for my Pre-Calculus Teacher

​

​

​

In my junior year my precalculus teacher Mr.Mitchell arranged groups in class by making each group average as close to the class average as possible.

He made a humorous remark in the class about how long it usually takes him to do it because he does the entire process by hand. This instantly sparked a thought in my head to make a program to make it easier.

​

However, I discovered the Applied Learning Project and the idea came back to my mind and I decided what I wanted to pursue it for my project. 

First, I had to research software development and the steps involved in it. From my research I was able to conclude that a majority of the processes and deliverables.

As next step I had done research online and gathered various templates needed for my project. The first phase of the development life cycle is to gather requirements.

I had to acquire the requirements from Mr.Mitchell which were:

• make individual groups with each group average as close to the class average as possible 

• set maximum and minimum students per group, feed grades from an excel spreadsheet to the group generator 

• show each group average once groups are created.
