Problem Statement

Everybody knows that HASS classes are the last priority for engineering students. Using the MIT Subject Listing & Schedule to find classes is like using a terrible web-site search: it gives you what you searched for, not what you actually want. The MIT Subject Evaluations have a terrible user interface and the numbers do not accurately portray HASS classes. Currently, the only way to know about interesting, fun, and/or easy HASS classes is to ask friends, but they are not a comprehensive source.

Music students must compose music while keeping up with their busy lives. They can't control when they will think of a theme or phrase of music.

Our app will allow students to quickly pull out their smart phones and place the notes on a staff while waiting in line at Starbucks, sitting on the bus, or walking around town. Our vision is to design the app so users can compose quick sketches (not symphonies) that can be played back laterWe aim to provide a system that allows completely honest feedback about HASS classes and professors in an easily searchable interface, so students can find the perfect HASS class.
