Course Schedule Builder

A Pepperdine-branded schedule of classes within the Pepperdine Syllabus Schedule Builder gem.

Overview

Each term, professors must produce a course schedule with updated dates. The schedule needs to factor in University holidays and possibly a unique final exam date. Finally, we must produce a digitally accessible data table with Pepperdine brand colors.

Introducing our Pepperdine Syllabus Schedule Builder. This Google Gem will take the basic details of your class and provide the HTML code to copy/paste into Pepperdine Syllabus.
