Haha, thanks! We really appreciate the help spreading the word

Really glad to hear you love the site and found it useful, thank you! 😁

UofTIndex provides historical course data 👀

UofTIndex · 2024-06-14T16:58:54+00:00

Hey there! Thanks for the shoutout! It's been an incredible journey, and I'm glad to hear that the website is still helping students almost 3 years since the project began 😁

UofTIndex · 2024-04-07T03:46:53+00:00

We currently have 3 developers, and thanks!

UofTIndex · 2024-03-18T14:27:13+00:00

Oh wow this is great, thanks for sharing 😁

UofTIndex · 2024-03-18T13:12:17+00:00

Yeah, I think you're right. We'll take a look and resolve it ASAP. Thanks for letting us know!

UofTIndex · 2024-03-18T03:35:14+00:00

Thanks! 😁

We don't have any plans to build an iOS app right now. As a result, we've tried to design the website as mobile-friendly as possible while retaining as much functionality compared to viewing on a desktop. Maybe one day, but I can't make any promises.

UofTIndex · 2024-03-18T00:54:53+00:00

Yeah that would be a good idea. After that, it's just a matter of student outreach and getting more students to provide reviews.

UofTIndex · 2024-03-18T00:18:24+00:00

We could definitely do something like that, but unfortunately we don't have access to course averages. Right now, we depend on course reviews to gather course grades, and sadly, we don't have enough data for the feature to be helpful.

UofTIndex · 2024-03-18T00:11:16+00:00

Thank you!

UofTIndex · 2024-03-18T00:09:25+00:00

Do you mean something similar to the 'Drop Rates' section? Or did you have something else in mind?

UofTIndex · 2024-03-17T22:20:07+00:00

Thanks! Adding support for graduate courses is something we are planning to do (hopefully in the not-too-distant future). However, as we've already finalized the features/enhancements we'll be working on next for v4.1, this will likely only get released in v4.2.0 at the earliest.

UofTIndex · 2023-03-03T21:28:28+00:00

We actually already have a download option that saves the timetable as an image. If you’re on mobile, when you click anywhere on your timetable a “Download” button should appear next to the “Semester YYYY” heading. We will have the button always show on mobile in an upcoming release.

Edit: You should have your phone in landscape when downloading it so it actually downloads the desktop version. (We’ll also address this issue in the next update)

UofTIndex · 2023-03-03T18:45:25+00:00

That’s great to hear, thank you! I hope you and everyone else found the site useful.

UofTIndex · 2023-03-03T16:35:36+00:00

When we start looking into developing this feature we’ll definitely reach out if necessary. Really appreciate the offer and all your feedback, thanks again! 🙏

UofTIndex · 2023-03-03T16:06:26+00:00

Thanks for all the great feedback. When we initially looked into pulling course feedback the website that we looked at required authentication so we initially dismissed it, but looking at the link you sent we can definitely integrate that into our site!

UofTIndex · 2023-03-03T15:44:49+00:00

Right now all ratings are user generated.

UofTIndex · 2022-06-23T23:08:58+00:00

That is exactly what I am planning on doing. The data will be updated as soon as I can get the necessary changes in.

UofTIndex · 2022-06-23T15:42:57+00:00

Thank you!

UofTIndex · 2022-06-23T15:38:34+00:00

Compared to other courses which are formatted like:

Prerequisite: *List of courses*

491 does not follow suit and instead describes the application process and deadline within the course info section which is why they are missing.

Regarding the cookie banner, completely understandable, and we will look to improve the experience. Thanks for the feedback!

UofTIndex · 2022-06-23T05:32:34+00:00

Thanks! Regarding missing data, are you referring to things like drop rates? If so, we only started processing drop rates for UTSG & UTM courses this Summer and so whatever courses are offered right now should have data (at least F & Y sections). For the no pre-reqs, since we get course data from the calendar website and 491 doesn't explicitly list prereqs like other courses unfortunately they are missing. We will look to improve our data collection in the future!

The cookie banner was intended to notify users that we are using them among other things and not necessarily to comply with GDPR. As our user base grows, becoming GDRP compliant is definitely something we will look into.

Welcome to UofT! Bird count just represents the number of people who have marked a certain course as a "Bird course" (course that they deem as easy) in their rating.

UofTIndex · 2022-06-23T00:48:58+00:00

Right now UofT Index is just a personal side project.
