The README lacks setup and architecture details, so you will need to inspect the JavaScript codebase to determine dependencies and how to run the app.
This project is a website that helps students and faculty at the University of Havana's School of Mathematics and Computer Science organize elective courses. Electives are optional classes that students choose to take based on their interests, and managing which courses are available, who is teaching them, and which students want to enroll can be a logistical challenge. This tool brings that process online so everyone can see and coordinate their options in one place. Based on the very brief project description, the site appears to serve as a central hub where the mathematics and computer science faculty can publish information about elective courses and students can browse what is available. However, the documentation does not go into detail about specific features, so it is unclear whether the platform handles actual enrollment, simply displays a catalog of courses, or includes tools for administrators to manage rosters and schedules. The primary users would be university students trying to figure out which elective courses to take and the staff or faculty members who need to organize and communicate those offerings. At a large faculty, relying on scattered announcements or paper sign-up sheets often leads to confusion and missed opportunities, so a dedicated web platform would streamline the entire process by giving everyone a single source of truth. The codebase is built in JavaScript, which means it is a web application likely running in any standard browser without requiring students to install anything. Beyond that, the README does not describe the specific technical architecture, any particular frameworks used, or how the site is hosted and maintained.
