Computer aids Kansas State students with GRADPLAN
At Kansas State University a computer program named GRADPLAN helps freshmen map their entire course of study by building decks of class cards and running them through a computer. It flags missing prerequisites and course offering times and allows easy major changes by editing the deck. Students praise the tool for its payoff in early planning.
