Problem
College students often struggle to choose courses and professors because information about workload, assessment types, and overall quality is scattered, inconsistent, or unverified, leading to poor registration decisions and increased academic stress.

The platform presents weekly time‑commitment graphs, difficulty ratings, and breakdowns of reading, writing, and exam formats, enabling students to plan their semesters and align courses with personal and professional goals.
