THE PROBLEM: Going to see an adviser can be a pain, especially if you just want to ask a question on your degree audit, or on a potential schedule for your next semester.
THE SOLUTION: AdviseMe! AdviseMe is an app that allows you to check your degree audit, required classes, and even plan out a schedule for upcoming semester and see how many credit hours they'd be and what parts of your degree they fulfill. The company name is also AdviseMe

ReplyDeleteThis problem is probably one that almost every single college student encounters! I know for a fact that myself and my roommates experience this issue on a regular bases. Being able to get some simple questions regarding scheduling and degree audit would be highly beneficial and save us all a lot of time and frustration. I especially like the idea of being able to plan out schedules for upcoming semesters, as this would have saved me from dropping a few classes over the past 4 years of college!
A suggestion I might make would be to include more specific examples of questions that the app will answer. You mentioned that we would be able to check our degree audit and required classes, but I think the majority of students are able to do this via their phones. If you could provide example questions that the app would answer in your pitch, I think it will make it much stronger!
Also, adding the estimated cost for initially generating the app would be useful knowledge for possible investors! This is a great potential innovative idea for the sanity of college students!

Jordan,
ReplyDeleteI think your problem and solution are very well thought out and there is most definitely a market for your app. You could really save a lot of people a lot of time by creating such an app as advising is often hard to schedule here, at UF, as well as at many other universities I'm sure. Keep developing your idea and I'm sure it will be a great success! If you would like to read my blog go to: http://mitchallenent3003.blogspot.com/
I think that this is a great idea. I know I have spent hours before trying to decide what classes would be best to take and read my degree audit. Something that could just clearly show me what classes I still need and would let me place them into a tentative long term schedule would be awesome.
