Use Cases

I want to take cs49 w/ Amit. The suite tells me I have the necessary prereqs and lets me see who’s in it, who has taken it before with Amit, who has taken either that class or something with that professor (using your facebook friends). I decide to take cs49 w/ Amit. My profile will remember this in case it’s ever a prereq for another class, in case a friend might want to ask me about it, and when the end of term hits it will remember that I’ve taken but haven’t yet reviewed it.
