coursebin 1.0.4

Tools for undergraduate students to manage classes.

List of built-in binaries:

1. `newsemester <semester-number>`
2. `newcourse "[<course-name>]"`
3. `removecourse`
4. `newnotes`
5. `classcompile`
6. `coursecomplete`
7. `semestercomplete`
8. `printgrades`

The first time you run a command after coursemanager installation, you will be prompted to setup your college directory (where all notes, course directories, and grade files will be stored).

1. newsemester <semester-number>

• Creates the directory ‘Semester ‘ within your college directory.

• Prompts for courses being taken in the new semester. Creates a course directory for each course with a ‘Notes’ subdirectory in each course directory.

2. newcourse "[<course-name>]"

• Creates a new course with name []. Defaults to the latest semester (highest semester number).

• To change the default semester directory, run the following code in python: from course_manager import config_path print config_path

Navigate to the JSON file printed out and change the defalt_directory variable to match what you want the current semester to be.

3. removecourse

• Removes a given course without recording a grade. Gives the option to completely remove the course directory or to archive it to a ZIP file.

• Options for courses to remove are based on the default semester (see (2.) for more).

4. newnotes

• Adds new notes to a given course. If cwd is within a given course directory, the notes will be created for that course. Otherwise, options for courses are based on the default semester (see (2.) for more).

• By default, newnotes will create a new .tex file named the current date. The .tex file will contain the necessary components to be recognized as a `subfile <https://www.sharelatex.com/learn/Multi-file_LaTeX_projects>`__ of the main.tex file that is initially created within the course directory.

• A line linking to the new notes file is added to the main.tex file.

5. classcompile [config]

• Compiles the main.tex file for a given course. If cwd is within a given course directory, the notes will be created for that course. Otherwise, options for courses are based on the default semester (see (2.) for more).

• If config is used within the command, all LaTeX extra files (main.log, main.toc, main.out, and main.aux are NOT deleted after compilation.)

• This command compiles the LaTeX twice (LaTeX compilation is a two-pass process, originally to preserve memory. Running only once will not always catch figure and citation references).

6. coursecomplete

• Archives a given course. Options for courses to remove are based on the default semester (see (2.) for more).

• Prompts for the grade in that course and how many credits the course was worth. Updates the grades.tsv file with the new grade.

• Currently, GPA calculations are based on Brown University grading standards. These settings can be edited in the config.json file (instructions on how to edit this file are under (2.).

7. semestercomplete

• Archives the default semester (see (2.) for more about the default semester). Gives the option to keep or remove the default semester directory in addition to archiving it.

• Runs coursecomplete on all courses for which grades have not yet been inputted.

• Updates grades.tsv.

8. printgrades

• Prints a formatted versions of grades.tsv to the terminal. (Uses the python `tabulate <https://bitbucket.org/astanin/python-tabulate#rst-header-table-format>`__ package. You can edit the format of the output by running which printgrades and editing the type of table printed. The options can be found with the `tabulate <https://bitbucket.org/astanin/python-tabulate#rst-header-table-format>`__ documentation.).
