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.
