CourseRank - BSD License
This is a course planning and review tool that helps guide class
selection at universities. It was a project of the Stanford InfoLab at
times between Fall 2007 and Fall 2009 with Professor Hector
Garcia-Molina and students Benjamin Bercovitz, Filip Kaliszan, and Henry
Liou.

The source code is available for download here as a
.zip Eclipse project folder.
Development work was largely done in Java and JSP. The source code
is formatted as an Eclipse project that you can easily import into an
Eclipse workspace.
The original CourseRank project ran on an Apache Tomcat 6 server running
FreeBSD 7, with Apache httpd 2.2 in front with mod_jk and mod_webauth.
As the work was done for the Stanford community, there are many
pieces that are hooked with Stanford specific services, including LDAP
and WebAuth, which
will not work outside of Stanford's LAN.
