The ofCourse History

“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.”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”
