ABOUT
The USM Class Scheduler was originally a project for a student named Cheryl Pierre in 1995 under the guidance of Dr. Ray Seyfarth.
The Original USM Class Scheduler
Over the years, Dr. Seyfarth has maintained the scheduler to allow students and faculty to easily search for classes.
In Fall 2008, Dr. Seyfarth decided to update the old scheduler and made it a class project for Software Engineering II.
The students assigned to the project were Tommy Comesana, Kris Dew, and Will Ulmer.
We hope you enjoy!!!

Guidelines
:
1. Choose a campus, semester, and one of the time preferences (only the time preference chosen will be considered when searching)
2. Choose weight preferences for the hours of the day
• These preferences allow you to choose what times are good for you in order to generate the best possible schedules to fit your needs
• Simple time preferences allow minimal time preference specification, and advanced time preferences allows more specific settings
• On the time preference tabs, slide the sliders, click the "Never" check boxes, or click the radio buttons to specify time weights
• Although the sliders can be moved to various locations, there are only really three weights associated with them: Bad, Okay, and Good
• The "Other Options" section allows you to include/exclude certain types of classes in the schedule generation process
3. Create a list of classes that you would like to take
• Enter in a class and click the "Add To List" button -- only classes available for the chosen campus and semester will be added
• If you cannot remember a class name, you can click on "Class Partial Search" or the "Class Catalog" to find a specific class
• Class Partial Search allow you to search for a class by different categories, and Class Catalog displays all classes alphabetically
• The class list rows can be removed individually with the red X or you can remove the entire list by clicking the "Clear List" button
4. Click the search button to retrieve the results that will be displayed in a separate tab (only three semester results are allowed)
• The overview tab allows you to view all semester searches side by side to view schedule projections over the next few semesters
• The semester tabs allow you to view each schedule generated by the scheduler for the given semester
• By clicking the arrow buttons you can view different schedules and print one or all of them
• By clicking the "Change View" button, you can view a schedule as a weekly block schedule
• The tabs can be removed by clicking the X on the tab or by pressing the delete key on the keyboard when focused on the tab
• You can also move fom tab to tab by holding CTRL and pressing the Left or Right Arrow keys
