+# Grading System through Spring Boot
+
+![GUI](resources/screenshot1.png)
+
+In this Spring Boot project, I used JPA for persistence, MySQL being the 
+database.
+
+Take note, when Spring Boot maps the service class into the database,
+the naming convention is critical, for example:
+
+`roboticsGrade` will be mapped in the database column as
+`robotics_grade`.
+
+Now, you might not notice this when you have `clear-drop` setting because
+Spring Boot automatically solves the issue. But when you want the persistent
+database record, you must set it to `none`.
