Reminds me of a fun project I did in 2005. I made a course schedule generator that once you picked your courses it showed price comparison of text book prices from local university bookstore and amazon. I made a bit of money before receiving a lawyer call from the university.

Funny part was, they could have used our course scheduler for students but no, they wanted students to still hand pick their classes one by one.

This let you block off times you didn't want class and it would make a schedule around that.

Reason was, "students might think they are registering for their class when they are not". We had an alert stating we didn't actually pick the classes and to log in __link__ to start. had the same warning everywhere.

I lost the battle.
