Dissertation Project for UofG, 2021. Django web app.

UGTMS - Project for Dissertation

A Timesheet Management System.

Universities often recruit several undergraduate and postgraduate students as lab assistants, tutors, or to assist with marking of student assignments or projects. Following recruitment, lab assistants and/or tutors will normally have to submit monthly timesheets with details of hours worked. These timesheets will have to be signed off by a suitable member of staff before they can receive payments. The purpose of this project is to research and develop a web application to automate these processes.

You can use the web application at: https://ugtms.herokuapp.com/
