is there any way that you could add the profs to each core? i know the profs aren't normally listed on the timetables, but when i make my mock timetables, profs are one of the bigger factors. when i make my mock timetable on excel, i usually replace the location for the prof name b/c i could care less where my classes are (prof > classroom convenience for me and i'm sure for many others). but i guess since the classroom location is important to put on a timetable, would it maybe be a good idea to have a separate table/chart that lists the profs for each course? (ie. below the mock timetable or beside it, simply list the the course, course code and the prof name next to the course code)

just a suggestion. otherwise, everything else looks good (y)

Sure, no problem. I'll add that feature in a bit.

Hey Dillon,

If you'd like I know the University Registrar and can get you in touch with her about potentially transporting this amazing application to McMaster's website or on the MTT page. I'm not sure if you'd like to give it out as open source freeware or if you prefer to keep it as an IP instead, but either ways I'm sure they'll be able to work something out. Send me a PM!

It's done. The prof name should show up if it's available.

very niceee, looks great!

also, i don't know if this was mentioned already, and it's probably not a big deal, but for some classes with labs and tutorials that alternate bi-weekly at the same time slot, it says they're conflicting even though the lab is one week and the tutorial is the next week (ie. Chem 1AA3). I don't know how you would be able to fix that though.

yeah, it's not a big deal, but i'm sure some would be confused, especially incoming first years trying your program out.

Oh right, I meant to fix that and forgot about it. I'll get to it a bit later.

Okay, this should be working now. They still overlap, but don't appear as conflicts. 'EOW' labels show up too.

What do the choices from drop downs mean
This is actually wickedly cool, and helps elevate my concerns for registering for my classes.

See, I am a fall 2012 1st year student and have zero knowledge of how it works.
Your creation look like it will make it sooooo much easier.

Sadly I have to ask what does the following mean;

Select a core - C-1 / C-2
Select a tutorial T-1 through T-10
Select Lab - L1 though L10

I know the required courses needed for Engineering 1, but need to know what does this choices represent.

Please help, I don;t want to start on a bad foot. Thanks !
