Understanding the relationship between the time and day of week and the number of students scheduled to be in class
I was kind of curious about how UW does scheduling and when people normally have class, so I thought I'd find out. This project's goal is to provide an understanding of when students have class and what times are the best for reaching people, arranging meetings, etc.
Everything needed to reproduce my results is in this repo. This project requires you to have python 2.7 installed. You'll also need to pip install requests if you want to fetch the data yourself and pip install plotly if you want to create the result graph yourself.
If you want to start from the beginning and download the data yourself, get an api key, insert it into fetch.py, and then run fetch.py. Once you've gathered the data, run process.py to get the results.
If you don't want to gather the data yourself, don't worry, I've included it in this repo. All you need to do is run process.py to get the results.
You can see the resulting graph here
