Check out CourseRank! New service from the ASUC to help students pick classes
This past Spring semester, the ASUC began evaluating a new online course evaluation service called CourseRank (http://berkeley.courserank.com), which is now implemented and ready for use by students! CourseRank lets students see class ratings, grade distributions, descriptions, feedback, textbook requirements, and more.
CourseRank is a stronger alternative to the ASUC's several year relationship with Pick-A-Prof, and will bring students all the ability to see ratings of professors and grade distributions, along with new features for effectively searching all courses at UC Berkeley, previewing syllabi and course descriptions, rating classes and providing feedback on courses to fellow Cal students, scheduling courses for the next semester, planning graduate and undergraduate coursework until graduation, and ordering textbooks.
There will be additional shortcuts to purchase lecture notes and see computer sales at The Scholar's Workstation.
"It is an amazing program that basically consolidates all of our scheduling and class planning processes, and makes everything user-friendly, aesthetically appealing, and convenient," says ASUC President Will Smelko. "The ASUC is going to partner with CourseRank to offer this service to students for free starting this fall."
The program is already in use at Stanford University and it will also be piloted at Duke University and UC Santa Cruz in the near future.
CourseRank will decrease the number of sites a student must visit in order to put together their class schedule each semester, pulling together classes, schedules, evaluations, rankings, major requirements, and the UC Berkeley Course Catalog to one place.
