You are required to develop an Android application that would help students plan their courses. Its core functionality is the generation of a timeline of courses which displays each course in the earliest session the student may take, according to restrictions on prerequisites and session offerings. Two types of users are to be considered: admin and student. Admins specify course offerings and prerequisites, whereas students generate timelines by providing the list of courses they want to take and those they have already taken. The courses are assumed to be offered within 4-month sessions: Winter, Summer, and Fall (e.g., Winter 2023, Summer 2023, Fall 2023, Winter 2024, etc.).
Course timeline example: Assume a student has taken CSCA08, CSCA48, and CSCA67, and wants to take CSCC24 and CSCC63. Table 2 shows the expected course timeline based on the prerequisites and course offering information provided in Table 1.
| Course | Session Offerings | Prerequisites |
|---|---|---|
| CSCC24 | Winter, Summer | CSCB07, CSCB09 |
| CSCB07 | Fall, Summer | CSCA48 |
| CSCB09 | Winter, Summer | CSCA48 |
| CSCA48 | Winter, Summer | CSCA08 |
| CSCA08 | Fall, Winter | None |
| CSCC63 | Fall, Winter | CSCB63, CSCB36 |
| CSCB63 | Winter, Summer | CSCB36 |
| CSCB36 | Fall, Summer | CSCA48, CSCA67 |
| CSCA67 | Fall, Winter | None |
| Table 1. Course Offerings and Prerequisites |
| Session | Course |
|---|---|
| Fall | 2022 |
| Winter | 2023 |
| Summer | 2023 |
| Fall | 2023 |

- Develop the application based on the user stories listed in the following section
- Use Scrum for the application development process a. Choose a Scrum Master b. Conduct “Standup” meetings and document them c. Use Jira to keep track of the user stories and make sure your TA is added to the project. You can refer to this tutorial for more information. d. You should have 2-3 sprints.
- Keep track of the changes made to the code using some version control system and make sure the TA has access to your project as well.
- Test the application according to the instructions that will be posted on Nov 21st.
