Mini Canvas: A Course Management Tool

Given a course ID, extract details of the course.

📚 Description

The goal of this project is to build a tool that is useful to instructors and students in course management. Each course is identified by a unique course_id and contains information about the number of credits the course is worth, the instructor of the course as well as students enrolled in this course.

Possible features include:

• Specifying a course to get detailed information;
• Adding a student to a certain course;
• Entering students' grades for each course;
• Visualizing student's grades in a dashboard.

The target is to be able to combine course information and student data for a full picture of the course and its activity. Through this project, I will discover valuable connections between CS and my previous studies in education.
