Ideas for data bases for the project

Feature 1 - Reminders about homework

The Webcourse has a section called "Assignments" in which the due dates of each homework is written. In the moodle, the submission page has a specific URL "/mod/assign" or "/mod/workshop". Using page crawling we can extract the due dates of homework and display them.

Feature 3 - Setting Registration Reminders

In order to set reminders to register to courses, we can ask the users for their credentials and parse the URL https://ug3.technion.ac.il/rishum/register-date

Feature 4 - Courses recommendation

Feature 5 - Emails and telephones

We can parse the various faculties websites. For example http://www.cs.technion.ac.il/

Feature 6 - Technion Businesses' Opening Hours

For most businesses their opening hours appear in http://www.asat.org.il/asakim But for more specific ones a more careful search is needed. For instance, the gym's opening hours are found in http://www.sport-tc.com/%D7%A9%D7%A2%D7%95%D7%AA-%D7%A4%D7%A2%D7%99%D7%9C%D7%95%D7%AA-%D7%9E%D7%A8%D7%9B%D7%96-%D7%94%D7%9B%D7%95%D7%A9%D7%A8/

Feature 7 - Degree Progress

Using the full catalog, found in https://ugportal.net.technion.ac.il/files/2018/02/%D7%A7%D7%98%D7%9C%D7%95%D7%92-%D7%9C%D7%99%D7%9E%D7%95%D7%93%D7%99%D7%9D-2017-2018%D7%9E%D7%A2%D7%95%D7%93%D7%9B%D7%9F.pdf, the student can select the kind of degree she's pursuing and then using the information in http://ug3.technion.ac.il/Tadpis.html we can tell her which courses are left in each category.

Feature 8 - Courses' prerequisites

Parsing the page of the specific course https://ug3.technion.ac.il/rishum/course/******/****** where the first group of asterisks is the course number and the second is the semester number in the format of YYYY0N and N is between 1 to 3. Given the course's page, the prerequisites are listed
