Build Status

About

This project is designed to give students information about courses taken by past students. Courses are grouped into categories to help you pick courses when specialising.

Building

It is recommended to use a Linux environment to build this document with at least v15 of texlive-latex. A Dockerfile is also provided for building on other platforms or in a sandboxed environment. Make is required for convenience purposes. TeXstudio and a recent version of MiKTeX work well on Windows, simply open and build main.tex.

To Build:

make

This will run pdflatex 4 to 5 times, the output can be found in tex/_build

To Clean:

make clean

If you encounter build errors, ensure you have an up to date Latex compiler.

Contributing

Pull requests are the only way to contribute to the project. For a new course review to be accepted, at least 3 other members must approve it (thumbsup or LGTM). This is to ensure that reviews are appropriate and correctly formatted.

Creating a Review

The course file:

Find the course you wish to review in tex/courses/subjects, if it does not exist; copy one of the other course files and rename it (keeping the code capitalised).

To fill in the template please follow the guideline below:

  • code: all caps e.g. CSSE2002
  • title: the official course title e.g. Programming in the Large
  • score: number between 0 - 5
  • contact: comma separated number letter combinations e.g. 1L, 2T for one lecture, two tutorials
  • coordinator: name of course coordinator
  • assessment: & separated information of Name/Weighting/Description e.g. MyPyTutor & 10\% & Weekly online problems
  • review: your review
  • preparation: list of advice for the subject e.g. \item buy the textbook
