1.Introduction
1.1.Purpose of the prototype report
This document contains all the information about various versions of prototypes, screenshots, and system navigation flows. It would help expose the risk of UI mismatch or requirements mismatch. This document can also contribute to the feasibility of system.
1.2.Status of the prototype
This prototype document is in it's third version in preparation for the DC Package. It is currently being submitted for the Draft DC Package.

4.Formalism for course director UI
The following UI formalism for specifying degree requirements was provided by David Klappholz and adjusted by team for the project purposes.
A course is defined as having:
- a prefix, e.g., CS, MA, etc.
- a number, e.g., 105, 115
- a title/name, e.g., Introduction to Computer Science (Both CS115 and CS118 have this title/name)
- a number of credits that it carries
- a set of prerequisites that is a Boolean combination without NOT, e.g., (CSXXX OR CSYYY) AND (CSVVV OR CSWWW).
- a set of corequisites that is a Boolean combination without NOT, e.g., (CSXXX OR CSYYY) AND (CSVVV OR CSWWW).
- a list of semesters that it’s offered on campus
- a list of semesters that it’s offered on webcampus (online)
A simple course group is defined as a titled set of
- courses defined as a list (enumeration), e.g., Science I: : PEP111, PEP112, PEP221. “Science I” is a course group given as a list,or
- all courses with a certain prefix, e.g., “all CS courses”,“all HUM courses”, …,or
- all courses with a certain number of credits, e.g., “3 credit courses”, “4 credit courses”, …,or
- all courses of a certain level, e.g., “100 level courses”, “200 level courses”, “300 level courses”, “400 level courses”, ….
Note: course director can define only a titled set of courses given as a list. All other groups will be predefined in the system (with predefined title).
Course director can also use these predefined groups for definition of course groups.
A course group is defined as
- a simple course group,or
- a titled intersection (AND), union (OR) or subtraction (AND NOT) of other course groups.
Examples:
- all humanities courses : “all HUM courses” OR “all HLI courses” OR “all PHL courses” OR “all HAR courses” OR “all HSS courses” OR “all HHS courses”.
- all humanities courses of upper level : “all humanities courses” AND(“300 level courses” OR “400 level courses”).
- Example with AND NOT: there are several Calculus courses (e.g. MAT205, MAT210) but only one of them is available for CS students. In this case we need to define course group that is not allowed (e.g. “not allowed MAT in CS”) and then we can define group that is allowed (e.g. “allowed MAT in CS” : “all MAT courses” AND NOT “not allowed MAT in CS” )
A simple requirement is a titled
- expression of the form n from X, where n is a positive integer and X is a course group, or
- degree specific prerequisite: CSVVV:(CSXXX AND CSYYY) OR (CSVVV AND CSWWW), or
- degree specific requisite: CSVVV:(CSXXX AND CSYYY) OR (CSVVV AND CSWWW), or
Examples:
- 3 from “Science 1”
- 3 from “Science 2”
- 3 from “Science 3”
- 3 from “Science 4”
- 3 from “Science 5”
- 4 from “all humanities courses of upper level”
A requirement is
- a simple requirement,or
- a Boolean combination other requirements with a title.
Examples:
- Science Requirement can be defined as ((3 from Science 1) OR (3 from Science 2) OR (3 from Science 3) OR (3 from Science 4) OR (3 from Science 5))
- Software Development Elective Requirementcan be defined as
- 1 from Software Development Electives
Where Software Development Electives has been defined as a course group consisting of CS516, CS521, … , CS549, CS558
A degree program is a conjunction of requirements with a title.
For example, the degree program CS_Entering_2008_Starting_With_CS115 can be defined as ((Science Requirement) AND (Math Requirement) AND (Physical Education Requirement) AND (CS Requirement) AND (Technical Elective Requirement) AND (Software Development Elective Requirement) AND (Science/Math Electives Requirement) AND (Free Electives Requirement) AND (Humanities Requirement)).
