== Problems We Solve

• Too many clicks/pageloads to accomplish anything - adding each class requires navigating through 6 pages
• Separate Wishlist and Shopping Cart is unnecessary and confusing
• Degree requirements, which determine what classes you want to register for, are not accessible through the course registration system

== Design Philosophy

• Build around the most common use cases; use a goal-centric design rather than designing around data structures
• Make information quickly accessible through expanding lists that don't require additional network access
• Details that are less important should be hidden yet easily accessible
• Actions should provide visual cues to give the user an understanding of what they are doing
