Going back to school has shown some of the defencies in current Course Catalog packets that LoneStar College provides. It isn't that information isn't provided, its just that it lives in so many different locations and systems don't really help in seeing what you can take versus what you need to take to complete specific degrees.
I can look at degree plans which provide core classes that must be taken, but the list is nothing more than a department and course number. If I want to look up what the courses are (title) then I have to open a pdf that has all the class descriptions. This is certainly doable, but it does limit my motivation to really explore all the available courses.
Another thing is that the search feature in PDF's isn't the greatest. I would be awesome if I could just go to a home page type in a department and course number and get the information that I needed. If I want to view MATH 1314 (College Algebra) I could also see what degree programs require the course, as well as what courses I have to take with or before I can take College Algebra.
If I start at the homepage, I want to be able to search for courses or degree programs. So, the following should equally lend results: "MATH 1314", "College Algebra", "Algebra", "Associates of Science", "Engineering Degree", etc. I really don't want a complicated home page, a nice page that had a big search bar would be just fine with me.
