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.
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.
Profspect turns a weekend of RateMyProfessors, Reddit, and catalog digging into one clear decision. Tell us your school, major, goals, and the courses you are weighing, and get a scored, source-linked report with a term-by-term plan. Free, invite-only pilot.
