• View section details (seats available, professors)
• Find out when courses were offered (to get an idea on what semesters courses are usually offerred in)
• Get notifications when seats/waitlist seats open up (in browser/SMS/email)
• Allow users to submit information about courses (notes, syllabus, reviews) to display in search
• Resources on finding/buying textbooks for courses (maybe look into integration with SGA Textbook Exchange)
