  13. Lolita, we use Excel to arrange faculty schedules, course
  14. offerings, and other information related to course
  15. scheduling.  We simply enter the data in rows and columns.
  16.  
  17. The University course scheduling, with which we must
  18. coordinate our offerings, is kept on the administrating
  19. mainframe (an IBM).  The students register for classes by
  20. phone, and we download that information at several points in
  21. the registration process.
  22.  
  23. I couldn't tell from your question whether you were
  24. concerned about how we handled things in our department or
  25. whether you were concerned with how the university managed
  26. course scheduling for 700+ faculty and 22,000+ students.
