Study organisation
Especially if you are affected by a curriculum change, it could be hard to find out which courses you should attend. There can be multiple constraints:
- already "used" courses for a bachelor study
- courses being available in multiple catalogs.
Since not every "change in practice" of a curriculum results also in an update of the curriculum document (changes of course names, courses never held etc.), someone also has to check for updates on other places (e.g. http://www.logic.at/informatik/WahlLVs.html) regularly.
So first you will have to find a legal compilation of courses.
Tthen, when you finished the courses, you may want to find a combination resulting in ideal average grades.
Although there is a system for study organisation installed at the TU Vienna (TUWIS++) it doesn't support the filing of a curriculum isn't supported at all. Even if it would there would remain the fact, that someone can't trust the curriculum data in TUWIS++ because of missing (or even conflicting?) data.
So my question: What would be a handy and convenient way to organize a study and support someone filing the study at the end?

Study organisation - Solution proposal
My first try was to use simply a browser, paper and pencil. Since the curriculum changed I had to rewrite it heavily. So I chose to use another way of implementing it.
Since I expected other curriculum changes (which have happened) i decided to use a computer programm, because one thing computer documents can to better than paper documents: change. So I setted a new excel document up, which contained all the current curriculum information along with my wishes of which courses I actually wanted to attend. After finishing courses, I added the data, which course finished, what grade did I get, and Excel sums everything up for me and shows my curriculum progress in nice colors.
