For my MIS 2402 final project, I developed two web-based special-purpose calculators using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, and Bootstrap. The project was sponsored by the MIS department and supervised by Professor Laurel Miller.
The first application I built was a Loan Repayment Calculator that determines monthly payments and total interest based on user-inputted loan amounts and APR. For the second part of the project, I independently designed and coded a GPA Projecting Calculator. This tool allows students to input their current cumulative GPA and credits alongside their expected semester performance to visualize how their current grades will impact their long-term academic standing.
Through this activity, I learned how to effectively use AI prompting to generate initial code structures and then manually refined that code to ensure proper data validation and responsive UI design. I also gained experience deploying these applications to a live server environment via Bitvise.
