Course Schedule Maker guide

Class Schedule Maker

Use a weekly class schedule maker with real course codes, drag-to-adjust blocks, and conflict warnings that name both classes.

A class schedule is a section-by-section decision

Compare CS101 MWF 9:00–9:50 in Hall B with the alternative section before you commit. Include the room and instructor so back-to-back classes can be checked in context.

Drag a meeting and snap it to the half hour

The grid runs from 7am to 10pm. Drag a block vertically to adjust its start time; the schedule keeps the meeting duration and redraws conflicts immediately.

Use the red warning as a decision aid

When MATH201 overlaps CS101, the tool says so plainly. It flags the clash but does not auto-reshuffle your schedule, because you still need to choose the section that fits your degree plan.

Print after the last section change

Use landscape Letter for US/CA or A4 for UK/EU/AU. Light backgrounds keep a printed schedule readable without using a page of heavy colour.

Compare sections before choosing the time

Start with the section that fits your required course, then test nearby alternatives. Check the full meeting pattern, not only the first lecture: a Friday discussion or Thursday lab can be the block that creates the real conflict.

Keep study and commute blocks visible

The weekly grid is more useful when it includes the time between buildings, work shifts, and planned study. A timetable that only contains classes can look open while leaving no realistic time to move or prepare.

Update the block when the university changes it

Rooms move and sections change. Edit the affected session, rerun the conflict check, and export a fresh PNG, PDF, or ICS file instead of assuming a calendar import will update itself.
