Garrett's Schedule, Spring 2008
Well, unlike all you Schreyer's people, I finally managed to schedule my courses for the spring semester last night, and you can view it here.
I assembled this schedule using Lionschedules. Lionschedules is a pretty nifty application. It uses Penn State's online scheduling system to gather the information it needs to graphically lay out one's schedule, simply by entering course numbers. It then organizes this information chronologically and graphically, allowing one to have a more detailed view of course information simply by mousing over the course entries in the schedule. I'd certainly be interested in learning more in regards to what technologies this site utilizes, which, unfortunately, isn't readily available on the site.
Long live Lionschedules.

That's a good schedule. I think we have IST, SRA and MATH together. I'm looking forward to the IST and SRA classes. They're usually pretty fun and interesting. The MATH 110 class will be interesting. Doing calculus without a calculator will probably get annoying, especially the trig functions. I should probably polish up on that before the next semester starts.
We're in IST 210 together, which is good, because I am assured to see your beautiful face at least 3 days a week. Also, your networking skillz will make me hate you. Also, don't go to Math 110, it's a joke.
At least we've all got 210 to go on
I'm also very curious about the technology used by lion schedules. I can decided if they are accessing the database directly for information or just reading off the HTML from the Schedule of courses site.
Did you know that you can actually just put in ABBRV ### for the classes you want to take and it will find all the possible schedules with open seats for you?
This is great! I tried printing my schedule straight from the elions page, and I got it printed landscape with two papers, AND MY SETTING WAS NOT ON LANDSCAPE! I must have printed it like 10 times before I gave up and thought my firefox was messed up. But with this site, my schedule was printed PERFECT and colorful as well. Thanks for this sweet info Garrett.
