The main aim of the course advising system is to build a course recommendation path for students to help them plan courses to successfully graduate on time. The recommendation path displays the list of courses a student can take in each quarter from the first quarter after admission until the graduation quarter. The courses are filtered as per the student’s interest obtained from a questionnaire asked to the student. The business logic involves building the recommendation algorithm. Also, the application is functionality-tested end-to-end by using nightwatch.js which is built on top of node.js. Test cases are written for every module and implemented while building the application.

The main aim of the course recommendation system is to build a course recommendation path for students to help them plan courses to successfully graduate on time. The Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture is used to isolate the user interface (UI) design from the business logic. The front-end of the application develops the UI using AngularJS. The front-end design is done by gathering the functionality system requirements -- input controls, navigational components, informational components and containers and usability testing. The back-end of the application involves setting up the database and server-side routing. Server-side routing is done using Express JS.
