This is a project for BeaverHacks Fall 2024 at Oregon State University.
Our inspiration was to create a useful tool for our community of OSU CS post-bacc students. We wanted a course planner that is easy to use and functional. Our app enforces pre-requisites and also the terms during which electives are offered. It also shows how many courses a student has planned versus total required courses. We hope this app helps our fellow post-bacc students plan their courses.
The app is deployed on GitHub Pages: Beaver Course Planner.
Students can click "Add Term Card" to add a new term to their course plan.
Students can select a core class or elective class card by dragging + dropping the card into a term.
Prerequisites: The app enforces prerequisites. If a student tries to drop a card but prerequisites are not met in pervious terms, the card will not be dropped into that term.
Terms: The app enforces terms during which courses are offered. If a student tries to drop a course into a term during which the course is not offered, the course card will not be dropped.
To remove a course from a term, students can drag and drop a card onto the trash can icon.
All changes made are saved in the local storage. The changes are preserved when the page is refreshed.

We wanted to incorporate several more features that we did not get to during the hackathon.
- Prevent term cards for duplicate term/year from being created
- Make the UI responsive to different size screens
- Add an animation or pop up notification when total course count is met
- When a term card is deleted, automatically fill the missing term slot when the next new term card is created
- Add more information on hover to the course cards, such as course title, description, terms offered information
- Add feedback on why a course cannot be added
- Dark mode
