Sorting categories (preferred time of day, gaps, days, prefer no conflicts) to be distinguished from filtering categories (no conflicts and time restrictions), and should be explicitly mentioned that you can only sort by one selected category.

Currently, the scheduler has been built with a desktop use case in mind, and making a good small screen experience is not a high priority.

Display a warning when a user accesses the website on a mobile device.

Low priority stretch goal: Also offer to send them an email with the link so that they can later access it easily.

To reproduce:

1. Select "econ 1"
2. Generate schedules

No schedules are generated. Javascript console says: lib.min.js:13 TypeError: Cannot read property 'days' of undefined

May be due to the fact that econ 1 is a course exception, and may not have a "days" property.

After the CHEM department is selected in dropdown, course number no longer allows text entry.

Add CS168, EE 16A. The lecture times conflict for these courses. But even if you uncheck one of the lectures (and all lab/discussions), a conflict is still reported and no schedules are generated.

Even though they don't have exams (attendance based), the scheduler adds them into the finals slots based on the timings, adding more finals than you actually have

I requested this on the SIS scheduler, and I think it'd be very helpful on yours as well! You should be able to save potential schedules in a list.

It would be nice to keep my schedule synced between different devices, and I had to recreate it when my computer crashed as well.

I think the schedule is missing Earth & Planetary Sciences C162.

Only the course currently being viewed should be highlighted in the Added Course list. But, multiple courses are being highlighted currently.

This would be a game changer. Right now, the process to find out when your final exam is held and whether or not you have classes that conflict with their finals is quite inconvenient. The information is all there, held in a table here: http://schedule.berkeley.edu/examf.html However, if your page could automatically check the data in this table and output an exam schedule, that would be amazing!

Currently, the enrollment data is updated once a day, and so can be up to a day stale. Storing the time of update and displaying it would help students make better decisions.

Way to reproduce:

1. Select CS 61A from the dropdown menu
2. Select Psych 1, a class that conflicts with CS 61A
3. View overlapping conflict, but only see "CS 61A" at the timeslot

Right now it just adds the course by default. It's also not intuitive that you have to click the X's to select new courses. You could either:

• Have an 'Add Course' button that adds the course to your schedule when you click it and then clears out the course selection fields
• Just clear out the course selection fields automatically. This tells the user that the action they were trying to do has been completed. This is what ScheduleBuilder does.

Using Firefox, a pop-up comes up with the warning "unresponsive script"

Script: http://mdibyo.github.io/berkel…-scheduler/js/final/app.min.js:1

A first time user does this:

1. Add classes in the lefthand column
2. Selects "generate schedule"
3. Nothing is generated.

Is fixed when sent a link to a schedule result, but this probably isn't the best way to get around this problem.

There should probably be classes in the chemistry department. When selecting the chemistry dept from the dropdown menu, users cannot select a course number.

Idk which ones, but you're missing Cog Sci C100? (I know it exists cause I phase 1-ed it :O)

Would be nice to be able to press left and right arrows to move through schedule

it gives me "no courses found" when i attempt to add cs61A :(

The API for all courses has some classes listed as SUB AREA xxx while the API for classes for next semester only has them listed as SUB AREA Cxxx, and does not return the class when queried for SUB AREA xxx.

This is, first and foremost, a problem that can be fixed in the SIS API, since SUB AREA xxx and SUB AREA Cxxx would be referring to the same things in a given semester.

Currently, a few classes have been found missing by students. The temporary fix is to manually add the C variant to the data pipeline.

However, many more classes might be missing. Investigate a workaround/solution to this problem on Berkeley Scheduler/bring this up with the API owners.

Perhaps allowing users either name, or show which classes they've selected and attribute them to a schedule. Users may have multiple schedules and it may be hard to keep track.

Right now, if you allow conflicts to happen, the system allows all kinds of conflicts to take place, including ones that are not necessary.

The minimization doesn't need to be perfect. Even something that orders schedules by number of conflicts would be perfect for getting rid of unnecessary conflicts.

Music 158A Lecture 2 is TuTh 11-12:29. According to the final exam calendar, its final is Wednesday 8-11 AM. However, the scheduler shows it as Tuesday 3-6 PM.

Lecture is Tu-Th 9:30am, so according to http://schedule.berkeley.edu/examf.html the final exam should be Tuesday 3:00pm to 6:00pm.

In the final exam calendar it has it as 3:00pm to 6:00pm Thursday.

Many of the common actions are currently represented by buttons filled with text. These can be easily replaced by icons, such as < for Previous, > for Next, and so on.

Doing so will hopefully reduce visual clutter significantly without compromising usability.

'EE' for EL ENG
'CS' for COMP SCI

'PS' for 'POL SCI'
'PP' for 'PUB POL'

Can't think of any others but I'm sure there are some.

It would be nice if we could also access information about the course (e.g. description, prereqs, etc.) on this as well, similar to how it is on ninjacourses.

Right beside these:

Two different cases:

1. Would be cool if users could just tab from newly selected subject area to course number
2. Would be cool if users could tab from selected subject area and the course number from a previous selection was removed

i.e. "Schedule failed because CS61a conflicts with CS61b"

1. Select no courses
2. Press generate
3. Select another course, is frozen, and can no longer breaks again until a refresh. Some messaging around this would be good.

I can't seem to see MSE C211 when adding it to my schedule. It would be critical to fix this issue.

It would be really nice to have the ability to select a subset of classes from a list of what I might end up taking next semester and generate schedules with this subset. I'm not exactly sure what I will take next semester, so this option could help me see some possible schedules. Thanks man!

For some reasons, I can't add chem classes. I can select the chem department, but then when I try to click the course number field, nothing happens (it's greyed out and I can't click it).

Way to reproduce:

1. Select CS 61A from the dropdown
2. Prefer mornings
3. Generate schedule
4. View the very thin sliver that is CS 61A Lab, when it should be three lines

This is a feature I've always wanted with a scheduler - instead of having individual schedules being determined by combinations of specific classes/sections, have it determined by times. ie if CS100 has section 101 at 12-1 and section 102 also at 12-1, the scheduler would combine the two into one schedule rather than considering them separate schedules. This would drastically reduce the number of schedules generated and make it dramatically easier to look through them. Note that this should probably be an optional feature since stuff like the individual location for the section can be pretty important... (or display both or something?)
