The Vision
Navigating the CS curriculum can be daunting. Course Bits was designed to bridge the gap between official course descriptions and the actual student experience.
Features
- Difficulty Heatmaps: Visualizes the workload intensity throughout the semester based on past student data.
- Peer Recommendations: Verified student reviews focusing on study tips and prerequisite readiness.
- Professor Archives: Aggregated data on teaching styles and grading distributions.
Technical Challenge
Implementing a robust authentication system using Supabase Auth to ensure only UIC students can leave reviews, while maintaining anonymity to encourage honest feedback.
