Abstract:
A large institution like San Diego State University (SDSU) has a huge numbers of students visiting the professors everyday for different reasons. Given that these professors are really busy teaching classes and doing research, the students might sometimes be forced to wait in long queues near the office of the advisors or professors thereby creating a busy pathway near the offices. This situation can therefore create disappointment among the students who may not get a chance to talk to the advisor or professor due to time constraints. This thesis project provides an effective time management solution to the current problem using a web-based application which allows the professors and advisors to schedule their timings in the application using a web browser from either a mobile device or a computer. Also, this application will allow the students to make an appointment with a professor during his/her available schedule. Once a student makes an appointment, they will get a confirmation of their appointment using email. A professor can check all his/her appointments on a given date using this web application. This application guarantees that the students have a confirmed appointment time before meeting an advisor/professor
