I can happily say that I accomplished what I planned to do. I added more flexibility by, as I planned, adding functionality to track multiple degrees simultaneously and modifying the length of the plan. It took me a bit longer than I initially planned to because its difficult to get the information since its a Government property and I tried several different ways to implement it before settling on what I did, along the way creating iterations which either broke the original application or slowed it down too much. Once I had this implemented, however, adding functionality for adding/removing semesters was far less difficult, as I had a better grasp of how exactly to implement it.
