1.3. Operational Setting

This scheduling program is meant for use in the Computer Science Department at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, California, but is equally viable as a secondary setting for other departments, be they at Cal Poly or at other universities. More generally, the tool has possible application in a range of educational institutions, although these outside users are of lowest priority for these requirements. It is intended for direct use by instructors to enter their schedule preferences for a term and view resulting schedules. The Scheduler is intended for use within a school’s computing system to allow instructor and administrative access. While not exclusively limited to academic organizations, the Scheduler is primarily formatted for Cal Poly’s users, where they plan classes, rooms, and times as desired.
