The potential positive impacts that the scheduler software will bring are listed as follows:

• A faster and more efficient method of scheduling and assigning professors to rooms and courses, given a list of all available rooms, courses, and professors.


• Better pairings of teachers and rooms based on the course's department.
  - CSC courses will be placed in the CSC building rather than other buildings.


• The scheduler will give most professors an equal selection of the courses/times they want, based on the teacher preferences they set in the database.


• Automatic displaying of any conflicts that occur. For example, if the Admin attempts to manually schedule two professors for the same room at the same time,
  the Scheduler will alert the Admin, making them fix the error before the schedule is published.

Negative impacts can arise as well. For one, although most professors will be able to get their preferred class times, not all will have a schedule they desire.
Also, if not implemented correctly, two professors may be scheduled to use the same room at the same time.
Finally, if the algorithm is not implemented efficiently and effectively, it may take too long to generate a schedule.
