Interfaces
This web app will have a separate GUI for faculty and students. The opening page will be a login page to determine which one the visitor is before leading to the homepage. This page will ideally contain multiple parts including a calendar, some type of “register for test” button, perhaps a notification feed, and definitely a profile button.
