USYD WAM Calculator

For some reason, USYD doesn't show you your overall WAM in Sydney Student or your transcript.

This web app will read in a pdf (or csv export) of your transcript from Sydney Student and spit out your overall WAM (Weighted Average Mark).

How to deploy (OSX/Linux)

If you want to parse a PDF transcript locally, you will need to install Java for this to work.

First, clone the repository by inputting the following into the command line:

git clone git@github.com:invinceyble/wam-calc.git

Then, cd into your local copy, and run the following to install the dependencies and launch the app:

make setup
make run

After you are done, clean up the files using:

make clean

To Do / Possible Features

• Build front end properly
• Add in analytics (WAM by year, by session, by major, level)
• Calculate SCIWAM
• Calculate your WAM required to reach a given goal
• Fix temp file requirement for pdf parsing
• Refactor parser

Technical Details

This app was built using Flask, mostly because I wrote the initial calculations in Python, and wanted a way to build it into a web app. It's currently deployed using Heroku off the deploy branch.
