Education and Learning Management Systems - Student Attendance Tracker

 

Problem: Tracking student attendance manually is inefficient and error-prone.

Solution: Automates the tracking of student attendance for each class session.

Benefits: Saves time, provides accurate attendance records, and can generate reports.

Adoption: This system can be expanded with features like email reminders and integration with school management systems.

Code:

import csv

from datetime import datetime

# Function to mark attendance

def mark_attendance(student_name, course_name, status):

    with open('attendance.csv', mode='a', newline='') as file:

        writer = csv.writer(file)

        writer.writerow([student_name, course_name, status, datetime.now()])

    print(f"Attendance marked for {student_name} in {course_name}.")

# Sample student attendance

attendance_data = [

    ('John Doe', 'Python Programming', 'Present'),

    ('Jane Smith', 'Data Science', 'Absent'),

    ('Alice Brown', 'Machine Learning', 'Present')

]

# Mark attendance

for record in attendance_data:

    mark_attendance(record[0], record[1], record[2])
