Overview
Albert is NYU's internal website for students. Students use it to register for classes, pay tuition, check grades, and more. Our goal is to make it easier for NYU students to choose courses and view course schedules easily.
Problem

Solution
Added the status of already selected courses on the timetable for intuitive navigation.

Low fi frame
Iteration
Each time we got user feedback, we did iterations and test again. Users found the third version of our design much more effective than the first version.
Final design
Timetable
Provide the timetable of the selected courses to help students choose courses better and check whether there are courses with time conflicts.
First, add drop-down boxes containing courses in the timetable, which are enrolled, waitlist, and shopping cart. You can view all of them, or you can view one state alone.The second is to add a time selector to view daily or weekly courses.
Reflection
Prioritizing User Experience : Optimize the website for essential academic tasks like course registration and fee payment to enhance user satisfaction and loyalty.
Visualizing Information: Adding selected course statuses to the timetable improves user navigation and understanding.
