An upgrade to UTD Grades.

Athena

Athena a data visualization tool built to help students view historical course and section data using the Nebula API

About

Overview

Athena offers students and faculty an accessible and easily digestible means of viewing the data stored in the Nebula API. This front-end for the API offers data visualization tools so that students can view agregated data and make more informed decisions on their coursework.

Inspiration

For years the students of UTD have made use of the UTD Grades tool to access information about their coursework in conjunction with other web applications like Rate My Professor.

Now Project Nebula hopes to offer students a comprehensive view of course information all in a single application through Project Athena. The hope is to offer students an all in one experience and streamline the data gathering experience of students while providing better data gathered through UTD specific sources rather than the crowd sourcing of other sites.

Athena hopes to offer more tooling to students than previously available and build upon the successes of UTD Grades to enhance the student experience.

Features

• Data Visualizations for the Nebula API
• Easy searchability and result filtering
• Section comparison
• Multi-metric evaluations on course performance
