 Abstract:

This paper aims to design a smart system for building student’s schedules based on a set of limitations and restrictions that can mainly contribute to the formation of student's schedules. Where the process of schedule formation, addition, and deletion is done automatically, this is our contribution. This system helps to raise the student's abilities, improves his academic achievement, and raises his rate. Moreover, it allows the student to delete and add a course based on his average and the number of hours recorded by the system, and the number of hours he is allowed to register, and some other restrictions. In this research, the courses of the study plan are classified according to the scientific content (nature of the course) into four main groups; 1-preservation materials, 2-understanding materials, 3-higher understanding materials, 4-applied materials. The system should take the academic record of each student and analyzes it for identifying the group where the student has higher academic achievement in comparison with the rest. The process of deletion and addition will be done taking into account the priority of adding the courses of the lower levels and the courses that are prerequisite for other courses at higher levels, and the priority of deletion of courses that do not affect other courses at higher levels. VB Application is used in the practical application of the system, where it succeeds in building student’s schedules for the computer department-university of Neelain, which contributed to enhancing the cumulative rate for the students, which reflect positively on the quality of the educational process.
