Theory and Project Clash for CAL courses about ffcsonthego HOT 8 CLOSED

Dude that's so damn confusing!

from ffcsonthego.

The course report excel has multiple columns, I'm only considering the last column Credits.

Don't know what other columns are and when to consider them :')

Credits total seems kinda confusing but clash between theory and project should be fixed.
@sangeeth96 how about we consider Project column for credit totaling but don't add it to timetable to avoid clashing?

JSON data has to be modified for that to get correct credits for project and while adding course to the timetable ignore all EPJ

Well, what I was thinking was while making the JSON, combine ETH+ELA+EPJ to one subject for each faculty. This is valid based on what I've heard. You have to take the same faculty for each of these so there's no point in separately displaying them in the panel.

Basically, if a subject has ETH+ELA, we'll combine them to one with the type ETH+ELA. As for the credits, the total credits is the sum total of all ETH+ELA+EPJ credits so I don't understand why you'd consider the Project column?

combine ETH+ELA+EPJ to one subject for each faculty

this can be done if we get the confirmation that students can not take different faculty for different components of same course.

why you'd consider the Project column?

Well I thought EPJ has 0 in CREDITS fields and that is causing not counting of it. But if that's not the case credits total has no issues right?

Also before combining we have to take care that it doesn't mess up the Non-CAL courses. AFAIK Non-CAL has no such restrictions about same faculty.

I just tried something with a few assumptions and those didn't work. EPJ has 1 credit and the Credits column values are proper. Current plan to create the JSON file is as follows:

1. Read the entire xls and convert it to JSON.
2. Filter the array of courses to two different arrays — projectCourses and nonProjectCourses.
3. Iterate through projectCourses and find the matching nonProjectCourse.
4. Combine the credits and 'EPJ' string of the projectCourse to the matching nonProjectCourse.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for every J component course.

@sangeeth96 what we do next? Let it be what it is?
