“I love using ofCourse! It has made the process of scheduling faster. Instead of weeks it takes a couple of days to put a solid schedule together. For the first time we were able to build a student centered schedule that also takes into account faculty preferences. Being able to analyze the schedule in various ways helps to give us a more detailed understanding about the decisions we make. When a professor asked that his bar course be switched to a different day and time, I was able to send him the weekly grid view of the schedule so that he could see what the impact of moving that course would do to students. Once he saw that he understood why I placed him where I did and appreciated the insight.”Rhonda Stokes

“ofCourse has made our class scheduling so much more efficient! Rather than months of back and forth with faculty to finalize a class schedule, the entire process to finalize a schedule and release to students takes only a matter of weeks. Faculty love the ease of entering teaching preferences while knowing that those preferences will be adhered to. ofCourse is incredibly user friendly and Troy and his team offer incredible support and guidance if needed. The ease of entering data, gathering faculty preference and generating a class schedule has never been easier. I actually look forward to the scheduling process each semester! All of us at UCI Law who have scheduling responsibility could not be more pleased!”Stephanie M. Santoro

“I have been using ofCourse for two years and I cannot think of making a schedule without it. The system is incredibly user friendly—it really does create a basic schedule with the click of a button. But the system is flexible as well, giving the user the ability to customize and improve on that basic schedule. Not only is it easier for me, students and faculty love the schedules I’ve been able to create. Students report far fewer conflicts and faculty get their day and time preferences most of the time.”Michael A. Perino

“ofCourse manages the most complicated aspects of scheduling (including avoiding room, time, subject area, and faculty conflicts) in a fraction of the time that it took for us to do it manually. The software is intuitive, and the schedules are consistently better for students and faculty than our old schedules. When we have had questions, Troy is quick to respond to our inquiries. When we need to make a change, it is reflected on the published schedule in real time. After using the software for two years, I cannot imagine going back to manual scheduling.”S. Todd Brown

“I have the zeal of a convert when it comes to ofCourse. Using an algorithm to produce the class schedule is a no-brainer, but only if the system is intuitive and flexible, and comes with loads of user support. All three are true here.”William McGeveran

“With the help of ofCourse, we built a schedule that received no complaints from the faculty. Zero, none, nada! This is a first in my eight years of helping to build the semester schedule, so it brings me so much joy! No one had to compromise & no one got the short end of the stick.”Cheryl F. Edwards
