This idea was born over the frustration of the UCSD students with our current enrollment system. The booking and calendar view are in two different places, you have to access your degree requirements and university GE requirements in separate systems (degree audit and academic history), which are not too aesthetically appealing themselves. Also, as a freshman, it is hard to know which courses to choose when you are heading into college. The demo allows you to log in or sign up with dummy accounts used to represent a student’s actual UCSD active directory login. There are three main tabs: Quarter Schedule and Map, 4-Year Roadmap, and the Visual Degree Audit and History. The first tab acts very similarly to the UCSD classplanner, as it has a panel on the right to search for classes and a central panel with the map and calendar. However, it takes into account your major and college to display some tags over the courses, allowing you to see what requirements you need and what graduation requirements it can fulfill for you. The second tab, 4-Year Roadmap Planner, displays a plan for all four years at UCSD and what classes you have taken or plan to take. When planning in the future, you can either choose to book a concrete class or have a placeholder class that can fulfill a requirement. The last tab has a degree audit at the top, showing you what graduation requirements you have met, and your academic history at the bottom. I built this by first listing out all the features I wanted with specifications in a Google Doc. Then, after translating them to MD Files, with the help of Google Antigravity I transformed it into the website. The large amounts of class data, major data, student data, and college data is what requires the use of the Tiger Data. There were many challenges along the way. The map would be faulty, initially going to the point where it would not load to the point where classes at the same building would be overlapped on each other. At the start, each tab was working individually, and not taking into account the information in other tabs. Now, each tab is connected and fully functional. Though not every single degree plan or course is added, I am glad it is doing what it can with the information given. Hopefully, in some way or another, UCSD could learn from TritonBook 2 to make a more integrated system that allows planning, booking, viewing past courses, and checking GE requirements all to be done from one platform, revolutioning the student experience.
