## Analysis Required
|
|
|
|
Some of the features and architecture of Elluc;lglgian's Banner system are not clear.
|
|
The follow features, JSON, and more require validation & analysis:
|
|
|
|
- Struct Nullability
|
|
- Much of the responses provided by Ellucian contain nulls, and most of them are uncertain as to when and why they're null.
|
|
- Analysis must be conducted to be sure of when to use a string and when it should nillable (pointer).
|
|
- Multiple Professors / Primary Indicator
|
|
- Mulltiple Meeting Times
|
|
- Meeting Schedule Types
|
|
- AFF vs AIN vs AHB etc.
|
|
- Do CRNs repeat between years?
|
|
- Check whether partOfTerm is always filled in, and it's meaning for various class results. |
