Description

TA-portal is a web application that digitizes the course time report for teaching assistants at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden. After downloading the application users can create an account and start logging their work shifts whenever they wish. At the end of the month a filled-out time report can be downloaded and then easily signed with e.g. Adobe Acrobat Reader to finally be handed over to the course responsible. The application is made with Spring Boot.
