Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions. If you can't find the answer you are looking for here please e-mail us: SchedIQP@wpi.edu.Who is Peter Lucia and why should I trust him?
Peter Lucia is a WPI student. He is one of the developers of the WPI Scheduler and the maintainer of this website. For more information about Peter, you can visit his website.The Java Platform asks you if you want to trust Peter because he has digitally signed the WPI Scheduler program. Java requires that almost all applications must be digitally signed, and when you use a Java-based program, Java makes sure that you trust that program to be run on your computer. This is a safety precaution that Java provides to prevent viruses and worms from attacking your computer.
Why do I get security warnings?
WPI Scheduler is based on the Java Platform, which provides a secure way to download and install programs. The warning messages you see when first installing WPI Scheduler are a result of security precautions that Java takes when installing new software, to protect your computer from viruses and worms.You should read each warning dialog carefully, and press "Yes" for each one to install WPI Scheduler.
Can I use the WPI Scheduler with a Firewall?
If you use third party Firewall (Norton, ZoneAlarm, etc..) and you can't get the Scheduler to run, you should try disabling the firewall, and try running the Scheduler again.What courses should I take?
The most recent WPI Course handbook is a great place to start. Look for your major and start with the advice found there. Otherwise, the Academic Advising Office is a great resource. The WPI Scheduler does not know what courses you should take, it only helps schedule when you take a particular course.I think I found an error in the schedule data, what should I do?
Please check BannerWeb for the most accurate schedule information. The data in the scheduler is only updated several times a day and may not reflect the newest changes to the schedule. If you still see the problem after about 6 hours, please e-mail: peternl@wpi.edu with the course name, section number, and CRN if possible as well as what the program says and what the correct information is.I think I found a bug in the scheduler, what should I do? or
I can't do ___ with the scheduler, what should I do?
Please e-mail peternl@wpi.edu with as much information about the problem as possible. What are the exact steps that you took to encounter the problem? Have you been able to do this before? What operating system are you using? What version of Java are you using? The more information the better!
Who made the WPI Scheduler?
The WPI Scheduler is a continuation of an open source project known as the University Scheduler. The University Scheduler was simply the RPI Scheduler without the RPI branding.Keith Lea, a senior at RPI, has developed RPI Scheduler in his free time since 2001 (back when it was Satyanash Scheduler). Before this, development was done by Anish Shah, an RPI student at the time. For more information about Keith, you can visit his website.
During the summer of 2007 work began on the WPI Scheduler by a group of three WPI Students: Peter Lucia (CS/ECE '09), Cyle Hawkins (Aerospace '10), and Graciela Rubio (ECE/HU '09). Starting from the existing University Scheduler code, Peter and Cyle worked on extending it to support schedules that spanned multiple terms. Grace compiled notes about this work and meetings held with members of the WPI administration and compiled this into an IQP report in fulfillment of the three's Interactive Qualifying Project requirement.
