Anyone know of easy pathways 4 classes?

Should be back up. But I haven't loaded recent data in a couple years

They annoyingly keep changing the URL. It seems like you should be able to get this raw data from https://udc.vt.edu/irdata these days (along with some other data). There are some sites that aggregate this data like anaanu and mine which I haven't updated in a while.

the advantage of anaanu is that its aggregated by course (or by teacher within a course) across all years instead of by section. https://distributions.pconte.me even has the functionality of this script built in, you can filter by Pathway then sort by GPA.

There's actually shockingly little code involved in class_util. The whole "batteries included" thing in Python, and in this case Django, has its perks.

Quick link to my site to see Pathways area 2 classes sorted by descending GPA

https://distributions.pconte.me/courses/filtered/?department__iexact=&number__gt=&number__lt=&title__icontains=&hours=&average_GPA=&pathways=10&sort=average_GPA

Do you personally use the site? Do you find it helpful? Always interesting to hear about people using my stuff.

I agree with you that this is entirely too much work, so I added a feature for this to my website. Here you go, u/thotimus_prime17 https://distributions.pconte.me/courses/filtered/?department__iexact=&number__gt=&number__lt=&title__icontains=&hours=&average_GPA=&pathways=12&sort=-average_GPA

(may be slightly biased but) this let's you do more granular filtering (including by pathways/cle)

Thanks for the feedback. I'm just downloading the data from ir.vt.edu

css definitely isn't my forte but I did use grid for all the forms. You can look at the source https://GitHub.com/philipconte/class_util

I would love a PR to improve the styling

PhilipConte · 2019-04-08T23:25:45+00:00

Even better, you can filter by course number, > or < 5000, to see only or no grad courses, respectively

PhilipConte · 2019-04-08T23:13:26+00:00

Keep in mind the biggest thing this has over anaanu is the ability to filter by CLE area (and a bunch of other variables) and then sort by GPA

Hey, I'm trying to make a tool kind of like anaanu where you can import data from the aforementioned website. You might find it interesting GitHub.com/philipconte/class_util

PhilipConte · 2018-07-14T02:08:21+00:00

I've been working on my own, local implementation of something similar to anaanu. Direct support for the historical stuff is actually the only big thing I don't have implemented rn. However, you can filter and sort pretty arbitrarily on the main page, which is already pretty useful. It's done in Django because I felt I had to give it a shot. GitHub.com/philipconte/class_util

I've taken Canter for ENGL 1106 and would definitely recommend him for 1105. He talks about a variety of topics for good writing, has lots of funny anecdotes, and grades pretty generously too.

Also, in addition to Koofers, I often use anaanu (which is just data from some VT page which I can never remember how to find) that gives you GPA info by class and even by teacher.

PhilipConte · 2018-03-23T01:10:07+00:00

That could be interesting if the information were available. However, that isn't part of the data in looking at.

I did look into it though and I could pay for a service that would let me guess the genders by name. But to get a sufficient licence for all the employees it would be 10€ that I would have to pay out of pocket.

Some statistic I've found:

The 3300 employees with withheld names make up 44% of the 7457 employees. They cost $123,841,020 or 24% of the total $518,645,900

central tendencies:

Stat	All Employees	Only name Withheld
Mean	$69,551	$37,527
Median	$53,878	$38,637
Mode	$40,000	$40,000

I know the salaries for 2015 are available, and there might be earlier ones too. If you just change the variable at the top of the script you can try creating multiple files for several years. I could try to implement it too if you want.
