“This was our first time using ofCourse and our experience has been great! Troy walked us through each step of the process in detail and promptly answered the many questions we had as we went along. We were impressed by the amazing service Troy provided, as well as the many helpful features ofCourse has available. In particular, we found it very useful to have the ability to categorize all our courses into their subject matter groups and, at a glance, ensure courses in the same group did not conflict. We also found the schedule reports and various charts, readily available for download, to be great visual aids when we started presenting the schedule to our various stakeholders. Thank you, ofCourse!”Brian Hansen

“The ofCourse Scheduling software helped us to migrate our course scheduling process from a series of Excel sheets to one consolidated program. Last semester we used ofCourse to schedule 169 professors teaching 235 classes. Using the automated faculty emailing system to gather teaching preferences took a lot of pain out of the process and gave faculty an easy way to list conflicts.”Hilary T. Lappin

“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

“Before ofCourse I used poster board and sticky notes to map out the schedule. That could easily turn into a nightmare if one fell off. And getting it from the poster board to online was time consuming. With ofCourse, I actually look forward to making the schedule! Troy was so patient during the training process. He’ll walk you through each step and is always there to review the steps if needed. The process is smooth. Once done it can be easily exported. The ofCourse team is always looking for ways to improve the product and annually solicit suggestions. I can’t say enough good about it!”Pam Dirkse

“Using ofCourse was one of the best decisions I made as associate dean — it improved our processes, saved time, and made scheduling vastly easier.”Viva R. Moffat

“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
