TAMatch

TA Application and Assignment System as a CSCE 431-Singapore 2019 Project

What is TAMatch?

Purpose

This project aims to serve as a platform for Texas A&M Graduate Students and faculty to minimize human intervention in the application process for TA's.

Proposed functionalities

• Allow professors to preference TA’s
• Allow TA’s to preference professors or classes
• Allow TA’s to specify which kinds of classes they want / don’t want to teach
• Maximize amount of successful matches between preferred professors/TA’s/classes.

Testing

Some setup must be done in order to get testing functionality up and running.

• Clone the repository into an aws instance w/ ruby and rails all set.
• cd into the project directory and do the usual.

    bundle install
  

• Make sure that Postgresql is primed.

    sudo yum install postgresql postgresql-server postgresql-devel postgresql-contrib postgresql-docs
  

    sudo service postgresql start
  

• Create a super user account for ec2-user

    sudo -u postgres createuser -s ec2-user
  

    sudo -u postgres createdb ec2-user
  

    sudo su postgres
    psql
    ALTER USER "ec2-user" WITH SUPERUSER;
    \q
    exit
  

• Set up the test database (cd into the project directory)

    rails db:reset RAILS_ENV=test
  

• You're good to go!
