Task Brief

Modify the filtering for courses in the Schedule Explorer to match course codes without dashes.
The file that should be changed is components/ScheduleSearch.tsx.

Expected Deliverables

Searching for courses on this page shouldn't require dashes, e.g. 15150 and 15-150 should pull up the same courses.

It would be nice if we could find departments in the department filter list in a quicker way by searching by name (“Computer”), abbreviation (“CS”) or department number (“15”).

This is a pretty big feature, but it involves major changes to the schedule explorer.

• Based on the courses in the schedule, we should render a weekly timetable similar to SIO's one.
• For this feature, we need to build an interface to select sections for courses.
• This feature also requires a rather complex weekly timetable component.

• react-select is hard to customize but it's currently being used for department dropdown.
• Migrate to Headless UI's listbox select.

Description

This website is currently referred to as both the (ScottyLabs) Course Tool or CMU Courses.
We should stick to CMU Courses, since that's our URL.

• Change branding (header, titles) to CMU Courses
• Make a new logo and favicon for CMU Courses
• Add a footer containing information about ScottyLabs and CMU Courses:
  • Maintained by ScottyLabs (with link to ScottyLabs website)
  • Core Team, GitHub repo
  • Interested in joining us? ...
  • Once the beta is over, we can move the feedback link here.

Use Prisma as our database ORM instead of mongoose (which we are currently using).

Build out a skeleton page for professor search.

• Should be linked to from the FCE Browser, potentially from the Lecture/Section details too
• Should display that professor's past FCEs (potential issues include professors with name changes, but we'll ignore that for now)

Expected Behavior

A user should be able to clear the entire field (e.g., from the default value of 2) and key in a new number.

Instead, emptying the field keeps the current value. This makes it difficult to change a single-digit input (e.g. from 2 to 3).

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to https://cmucourses.com/
2. Change the "Semesters to Show" field/

When I first used it, it took me a while to realize that I needed to bookmark courses in order to see the total number of FCEs for my classes. What if we called it a "schedule" instead and replaced the bookmark button with a "plus" icon to "add to my schedule"? Then, we could replace the "Bookmarked" tab on the navbar with a "My Schedule" tab. This might make it more intuitive to new users

Description

Currently, schedules can't be re-ordered once created. This makes it harder to locate certain schedules especially if they were created out-of-order.

It would be good to have some way of dragging and dropping schedules (or even up/down arrow buttons) to re-order them.

Create GitHub Actions to integrate with Google Cloud Build & Run for the backend. For the frontend, make another integration with Netlify.

Expected Behavior

If too many courses are selected, the search bar goes off the page on Desktop.

Steps to Reproduce

Add many courses.

It's not intuitive that you have to click the department in the dropdown and then the checkbox.

Expected Deliverables

Make it so that adding departments in the dropdown activates the department filter.

Task Brief

If there are no FCEs available, the FCE Browser card in the Course Detail page should state something like "No FCEs for requested semesters available".

Description

In the course detail page, render a prerequisite tree. For example, for a course E with prerequisites (A or B) and (C or D), we should show something like

A --|
   one of --|
B --|       |
          all of --- E
C --|       |
   one of --|
D --| 

Clicking one of the prerequisite courses should in turn render that course's prerequisite tree.

With the time between back to back lectures reduces to only 10 minutes, I find it hectic having to keep checking which building the classes are and where the building is on the map to make sure I have enough time to move to classrooms. It would be great to have automatic warnings for this.

Happy to work on this if there is demand and someone can guide me.

Task Brief

Right now, the title of the page is static (it always says ScottyLabs course tool). Make it dynamic: on /index.html, it should say "Course Search". On each of the course pages, make it the course code + name of the course.

Change the titles of each page.

Missing from the main course search page.

Steps to Reproduce

Description

Right now, searching for a full course code while omitting the hyphen does not yield any results, because the search is presumably looking for an exact match.

Allowing this hyphen to be omitted would improve user experience since many CMU students omit the course code when discussing certain courses.

When hovering over locations in the schedule explorer, display the full names of venues as a tooltip.
Venue names can be found here.

• You can use Radix UI's Tooltip primitive or react-tooltip to create tooltips.

Right now the majority of back-end code is written in JavaScript.

For the ease of leveraging static analysis, we should rewrite the back-end code in TypeScript.

The current interface makes it difficult to identify courses that are only available on the Qatar campus. For instance, 15-316 is taught only in Pittsburgh during the Fall semester, and only in Doha during the Spring semester.

I think it would be nice to make that clearer in the interface.
