School folder structure

Y3S2_2022_Jan24-2022May14
Y4S1_2022_Aug22-Dec09
Y4S2_2023_Jan23-May12

Format (roughly):

Y{yearNumber}S{semesterNumber}_{semesterStartYear}_{semesterStartMonth + semesterStartDay}-{semesterEndYear + semesterEndMonth + semesterEndDay}

Each class gets its own folder.

If the class provides many documents, sub-folders are created based on the content format.

For example:

/School/01_Classes/Y3S1_2021_Aug17-Dec8/CSE174/

/assignments
/labs
/quizzes

/School/01_Classes/Y4S2_2023_Jan23-May12/ENG219/

/assignments
/slides

These do not go into the class files. Instead they go into the semester root so I can easily reference and reopen them.

Syllabus open script

I created a zsh alias school to quickly re-open all current semester syllabus files in TextEdit.

school='zsh ~/scripts/openschool.sh'

# openschool.sh
# !/bin/zsh
# open school text files in TextEdit

# set school directory
schoolDir="/Users/<…/…/…/…>/School/01_Classes/Y4S2_2023_Jan23-May12"

# set word split to split on spaces
setopt sh_word_split

# get string of text files in school directory
schoolFiles=$(ls $schoolDir | grep .txt)

# open every school file in TextEdit
for file in $schoolFiles
do
    open -a TextEdit $schoolDir/$file
done
