Overview of My Submission
If you're a university student / have ever been to uni, you know how cumbersome enrollment can be. You need to look for a class, find the profs, find out how good they are and their average GPA - all this takes time!
So, this app aims to sort professors by rating and GPA trend for any course in this semester or the upcoming one/(s) at my uni - and all you need to do is look up course 😄
