Student Teacher Evaluation Visualization (STEV) at OU

After each semester, OU students fill out course evaluations for each of their courses and professors. The review information is publicly available, but is shared in pdf files on the OU website. This makes it very difficult for prospective students to use the course reviews to inform their enrollment decisions, because parsing through the hundreds of posted pdf files to find the desired information about the course or instructor is nearly impossible. My friends Zach Schuermann, Joe Lovoi, and I have scraped this data into a database and built a web app to allow much easier visualization of the course ratings and comparison between courses. We’re storing the data in MongoDB, with api web servers built in Flask and the frontend visualization framework developed in React. Keep up with our status on our Github page. Our end goal is to be able to integrate our developed web app with the OU website and to give students easier access to this valuable data.
