ClassRater

ClassRater is a course information and rating application, focused on MTA courses.

It is a solution to a well known problem: the course syllabi available don't give sufficient information to aspiring students, and so the students struggle with creating an appropriate schedule for themselves.

The previous solution is a facebook page, dedicated to this purpose, but it is difficult to search and lacks centralized information.

ClassRater improves on this situation by introducing an easy to use data structure, which defaults to a centralized experience: no redundancies, no duplicates, all related information is found in one place.

Using ClassRater, students can search for specific courses, read reviews written by other students, and make more informed decisions.
