Relevant System Demonstrations (4 Main Features)

Sign Up and Login
Dashboard Page

Manage Semesters & Courses
Profile Setting

(1) Sign Up and Login

New users of SEGi EduGrade will need to sign up to create an account. Upon successful login, users will be directed to the dashboard page.

(2) Dashboard Page

The dashboard page offers a personalized greeting with the user's username and the system logo. It features a circular progress bar, designed similarly to a doughnut chart, that visually represents the user's CGPA. Below the progress bar, four key metrics provide an overview of the user's academic progress: total semesters, total courses, total credit hours, and highest GPA.

(3) Manage Semesters & Courses

On the "Semesters" menu, users can add a new semester and assign courses to it by entering the course name, credit hours, and grade point. The system will automatically calculate the GPA and CGPA. Users can modify the semester duration, delete semesters, or update course information such as course name, credit hours, and grade point (course codes cannot be changed). Additionally, users can remove courses from the semester as needed.

(4) Profile Setting

The profile setting page allows users to modify their username and password. However, users are not allowed to change their email address.

Problem Solved by SEGi EduGrade

1. Lack of CGPA Updates

SEGi students only receive their GPA each semester, but to get the CGPA, they have to manually contact their academic advisor or counselor, which is time-consuming. With SEGi EduGrade, students can easily monitor both their GPA and CGPA, as the app clearly displays all semester GPAs and CGPA.

2. Lack of Customization for Malaysia's Grading Systems

Many existing CGPA calculators are incompatible with Malaysia's grading system (4.0), leading to calculation errors. SEGi EduGrade is specifically tailored to the Malaysian education system, ensuring accurate GPA and CGPA calculations that reflect Malaysia's grading scales.

Future Improvements

1. Cloud Data Sync for Multiple Devices

Currently, SEGi EduGrade uses SQLite as a local database, meaning if users switch devices, their data will be lost. In the future, I plan to integrate a cloud database solution like Firebase to ensure data is securely stored and accessible across different devices.

2. Export Functionality

The current system lacks the ability to export data. Future updates will include features like exporting GPA and CGPA reports in PDF, CSV, or other formats, giving users more flexibility in managing and sharing their data.

3. Enhanced Analytics and Charts

Currently, the app offers basic GPA and CGPA tracking. Future enhancements will include integrating additional chart types to provide a more comprehensive overview of student's academic performance.
