SCHEDULING SYSTEM

1 INTRODUCTION
Must reflect the problem statement of the client/partner. It must also clearly identify the
significance of the research problem
One of the most prominent problems that students face, especially those that
are in college is keeping track of what assignments they should do, and having
trouble scheduling the task they should do first because there’s a lot of tasks to do.
Keeping track of assignments and projects not only keeps you productive, but
it trains your brain to be motivated to do so. This is further backed up by David
Allen’s book: “Getting things done” wherein emphasizes the importance of
monitoring the tasks that you need to complete. “The key behind GTD is writing
everything down and sorting it effectively. This act of planning reduces the burden on
the brain, which is struggling to hold the mental list of all the things we have to do.
Releasing the burden of unfinished tasks on the mind frees it up to become more
effective.” (Allen, 2002).
As most educational institutions now transition to online learning due to the
global pandemic, this system would help students be productive by providing a way
to monitor their assignments and allows professors to check their progress as well.
Furo is a web-based assignment monitoring system that includes a to-do list,
email, and calendar scheduler. It aims to provide students with a platform that allows
them to keep track of pending assignments and projects and alerts them of the
remaining days left that the assignment is due and also provides a feature that
automatically schedules their tasks depending on how important it is and how much
time remaining until its deadline. It can be connected to their school email and would
automatically schedule their assignment so that they would be alerted of pending
tasks and deadlines. This can also be used by professors to be able to monitor the
progress of their students in terms of completing their given tasks.
