Inspiration
Usually, when students begin searching for professors for next semester's classes, they use UTD Grades and RateMyProfessors. However, there is an annoyance when it comes to using both websites and having to switch between tabs to determine if the professor is a good pick for a class.
What it does
Our product combines UTD Grades and RateMyProfessors results into one page where users can easily search for a professor and see all relevant information on the professor.
How we built it
We used Python and Visual Studio to create a Python application, where we take user input and find the professor's performance in the CSV files where that information is stored.
Challenges we ran into
The main challenges were dealing with errors in accessing the CSV files of the overall grades in professor classes and reading that information.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud of overcoming the errors that showed up in the program.
What we learned
We learned more about reading files in Python and how Python is a good language to use for accessing data.
What's next for UTD Professor's Ratings and Grades
The future vision is to include a graphical user interface and to be able to utilize API's in the program.
