Just to set expectations, you are going to struggle to find anyone to help with Composer issues.  The project was deprecated nearly 3 years ago and the maintainers have all moved on to other endeavours.  The good news is that many of the higher level abstractions and APIs that were pioneered in Composer were reimplemented in the Fabric programming model and helped shape the design of the new Gateway service in Fabric 2.4.  I strongly recommend basing your college project on that.  See https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric-gateway
