CourseReVU App!¶
Here at JHU, we want to create a website where students can comment on and rate their courses. This is not the end-of-term student survey evaluation that you typically take part in. CourseReVU is meant to be a portal for student-to-student communication. It facilitates what you've been doing forever - checking in with each other to figure out what courses to take (and which ones you might want to avoid).
The review process must be secure, straightforward and streamlined. You shall be able to add a course that you have taken and write a brief review of it. The "review" shall be open-ended, but we anticipate that it will involve comments about your experience and a word of advice for people (other students) who consider taking the course (what to expect, how to succeed, etc.). You would also rate your overall experience of the class by giving the course a rating of zero to five stars (something similar to how imdb.com facilitates "User Review" of movies).
Info
We will use this example application in several lectures.
