The Case Scheduler service provides an efficient interface for all students of Case Western Reserve University to more easily plan their academic endeavors. Case Scheduler works on every operating system that supports text-based web browsing and an Internet connection, making it the ideal choice of a student population which utilizes Windows, Mac OS X, and *nix in its computers.

Case Scheduler was developed entirely by Tommy Cusick, a current first-year Computer Science major, in order to provide an all-encompassing course schedule solution to the entire school. Please write him with any questions or suggestions you have about the Case Scheduler service.

[edit] Special Features

[edit] Case Single Sign-On

Don't worry about needing to remember another password to manage your schedule; Case Scheduler makes use of the Case Single Sign-On Service, just like Blackboard, Case Forum, and other Case websites.

[edit] It's Fast!

Case Scheduler's layout makes searching for classes and preparing a schedule a breeze. With Case Scheduler, there's no waiting for data to load. No ambiguous search boxes. Just simplicity.

[edit] Share Schedules

Want to make sure you're planning your schedule along the same lines as your friends? No problem. At the bottom of every schedule is a link which can be used to view your schedule in Share mode. Share mode allows you to let others view your selections without having to log in as a user, and people using Share mode won't be able to make any changes to your schedule, either.

[edit] iCalendar (.ics) Support

You are now able to add your Case Scheduler schedule to popular calendars such as Apple iCal, Mozilla Sunbird, and Google Calendar. Simply click "Get iCalendar" on your menu to download a copy of the schedule which you're currently viewing. Alternatively, you can "subscribe" to this calendar by copying the URL of the "Get iCalendar" link and pasting it into your calendar program (see external links for Apple iCal, Mozilla Sunbird, or Google Calendar for more information). Subscribing to a calendar means that you don't have to download a new copy every time you update your schedule; the copy of your schedule in your calendar program will update itself automatically.

[edit] Clickable Schedule

Case Scheduler allows you to view Searchable Schedule information on a class after you've scheduled it simply by clicking on the course box on your schedule. View important information regarding times, locations, and instructors along with who is taking the class with you all on the same page.

[edit] Course Search Filters

To make scheduling even easier, when searching for a course, Case Scheduler allows you to filter out classes which require a permit, are listed as full, or are graduate level!

[edit] Smart Course Addition

Don't worry about overlapping courses or scheduling the same course more than once; Case Scheduler will let you know if you do either. This feature will soon evolve into a way to be able to search only for classes which fit in your schedule.

[edit] One Version

Since Case Scheduler is a web site at its core, never again will you have to update your scheduling software. Just type in the web address and you're ready to go. When we update or add features, you'll have access to them automatically.

[edit] How It Works

Case Scheduler makes use of dynamic web scripts with a database and quickly delivers results based on current course offerings, all while maintaining a visually-appealing layout. A special program was written so that the Case Scheduler course database is continually kept up-to-date when compared to the Case Searchable Schedule of Classes. By storing the classes in a database, Case Scheduler is able to provide a significant speed increase when compared to other alternative methods of schedule composition.
