Hey, I'm Bernard.

Why this exists

Closing one sem and starting the next has always been an important moment for me. After a bad sem I'd feel frustrated and want to go above and beyond the following one. After a good sem I'd take things for granted and end up coasting. Either way, seeing forward across the next few sems was always a blur, especially when it came to figuring out how to move myself forward.

Knowing how much I had to catch up on, or how much I needed to maintain, is what kept me motivated to reach a target. To the first years out there: graduating might feel impossibly far right now with everything happening in the world, but four years moves fast and it will be on you before you notice. I hope this grade calculator helps you set targets for yourself. Let yourself rest too. Things don't always go to plan, and what matters most is enjoying the path along the way.

The class scheduler I built strategically, to make picking sections feel less random. Finding a schedule that balances your acads and your life is essential for your health, whether you like to spend your off hours at school or outside of it. Choose your sections, and your profs, well.

I built this app over about five months, on and off, refining it until I was satisfied it could work smoothly and accurately for you. Programming, web dev experience, plus some AI to help fill in the gaps. The tools are aimed at the repetitive work we all do at the start and end of every sem. If you find bugs, have suggestions, or want to see something added, please tell me. I'll gladly try to incorporate it.
