Degree Path
Read full descriptionHide full description
Advising students is always a time-consuming and sometimes challenging task for both the academic advisors and the students. Both the student and the advisor must understand the degree plan and the course sequence to know what courses the student is qualified to take and be on the path to completing the program and graduating. Currently, the advising at PVAMU campus (and maybe on many other campuses) is done as (1) the student and their advisor make an appointment to meet, (2) the advisor checks the student’s academic progress at either PantherTrack or a paper copy of the student’s degree plan checklist, and then follow the course sequence to come up a list of the courses the student is qualified to take next, (3) fill out and sign the registration form, and finally register the courses in the PantherTrack system. The above process usually takes 30 to 60 minutes per student. This app is designed to expedite this advising process and bring all information needed to the student’s smartphone, including a degree plan checklist, courses completed, courses to be done, and a list of courses the student is qualified to take based on the course sequence. This app also assists students in monitoring their academic progress and provides them with a clear path toward graduation.

Due Gooder turns your syllabus into a semester you can actually see. Upload a PDF and we pull out every assignment, exam, and class meeting, then organize it into one clean schedule by course — no typing deadlines in by hand. Then it keeps you ahead of it. A morning summary of what’s due, reminders before each deadline at the intensity you choose, and a heads-up 30 minutes before class starts. Home Screen widgets put what’s next in front of you without opening the app. And when it’s time to actually study, Due Gooder works from your own material. Record a lecture and get chapter-marked audio with AI notes. Turn your slides and readings into flashcard decks or a practice test that feels like the real exam.
