For anyone new to it, Profspect reads the public record for a specific student (course catalogs, posted syllabi, section schedules, RateMyProfessors, transfer articulation) and turns it into a scored, sourced, term-by-term plan.

The research step is the core of the whole thing, it's where the quality actually lives, so the model running it matters more than any other piece.

hey PH, i'm Carter, a community college student building Profspect

the problem i kept hitting is that every semester you pick classes and professors basically blind. you dig through RateMyProfessors, ask around, cross your fingers, and hope you didn't just land a brutal section. and if you're transferring, one course that doesn't articulate can cost you a whole term.

Hi everyone, I'm Carter, the maker of Profspect!

A quick bit of why I'm building this. I'm a community college student planning a transfer, and every term, picking my courses turned into a weekend of cross-referencing RateMyProfessors, Reddit, the catalog, and articulation guides, and I'd still end up guessing. The information was all out there. It just lived in ten different tabs and was never organized around what I actually cared about.
