The second task involves creating a schedule for the upcoming semester.  The student  When creating a schedule, the user takes into consideration the requirements that he must still fulfill, scheduling conflicts, what friends are taking, who is teaching a class, and balancing workload.  This has generally been accomplished by using many different sources for this data; a user would find conflicts and determine the professors by using the Subject Listings website, the requirements by their Major's website, and would have to hunt down friends to find out what friends will be taking.  After getting all of this input, a user will create a schedule that will have classes they want to take with no conflicts, and ideally with friends and good professors.  But ultimately, many of these factors will be up to the user to prioritize.  This task is generally accomplished through the use of their computer, maybe with the help of friends, upperclassmen, and advisers, but otherwise it can be done at anytime and anywhere.  Similarly to the task above, there are not any time constraints, except having a reasonable schedule set-up by registration date; so, a user may take their time and complete their schedule within a few days or do it quickly and figure it out within a few hours, but it will continue to be an ongoing process.  Creating a schedule is generally learned by trying and getting it done and generally does not need to be taught or shown.  Lastly, errors are recoverable: errors may include class-conflicts, and not taking everything to consideration, including recitations and lab hours
