Semester Notebook
This direction treats the app like a personal study notebook. It keeps the workflow public and useful, but makes the overall tone feel more like arranging course notes and future term ideas than operating a polished company product.
Pinned Reminder
Draft first. Decide later. The useful part of the app starts before login so students can think with it, not register with it.
Course ideas
Pull possible courses into view before you start committing them to a term.
Term load
See semester credits while the plan is still flexible enough to change.
Dependency notes
Catch prerequisite ordering problems early enough to rearrange the draft.
Saved versions
Keep drafts after login without turning the whole app into an account wall.
How Students Use It
01
Start from the catalog and gather the realistic course options.
02
Place them across terms while the semester totals stay visible.
03
Use the warnings as study-planning notes rather than hard rejection messages.
Design Intent
The warmer palette and paper textures make the app feel owned by the student, not by a company brand team.
Cards behave more like pinned notes and planning fragments than polished enterprise modules.
The utility stays intact, but the emotional tone is more personal and study-oriented.
Reference
Course information feels like a set of notes you can keep nearby while deciding what fits.
Planner
Semester boards feel like movable study materials rather than abstract product widgets.
Saved Drafts
Authentication supports persistence without taking over the whole experience.
