Use Cases

I created 10 use cases I think would be the most significant actions in the app. By actions I mean active use cases, like email a person. Possible "passive" use cases are included in those active ones, an example is to check the schedule: the schedule is listed when you execute the use case Navigate to Class.

Advice and comments are welcome!
