I wrote something to display the grade distribution(the ones with the pie graphs) for any class from 2000-2007 all on one page. It will be more customizable soon.

Very nice.

3/19/2008 6:41:14 AM

someone should've done this a long time ago. awesome. thanks.

3/19/2008 7:38:19 AM

Someone did do it a long time ago, but they stopped maintaining it. :/

This is the best thing ever, thanks.

3/19/2008 9:13:10 AM

nice.

3/19/2008 9:29:57 AM

cool... you should get it to aggregate the data to get a cumulative grade distribution.

that is awesome

3/19/2008 11:11:18 AM

nice work

3/19/2008 11:36:32 AM

wow. nicely done!

3/19/2008 5:31:10 PM

You next feature should be to search by professor within a certain department. That way if they've never taught the class before you can know what else they have done.

3/19/2008 6:05:26 PM

damn i wish i had this when i was still there. Nice job!

3/19/2008 6:50:12 PM

by the way this is fucking awesome

excellent work

hah searching by professor would be pretty rough with the current implementation

Do you mean of the class overall or just based on a certain teacher who teaches the class , i.e cumulative grade distribution for all the CSC 116 classes Miller has taught?

Wolface is right , that would be a little difficult based on how I'm doing it now. TWW's school tool could help you find the other classes that teacher has taught though. I can however add a filter based purely on the teacher of a certain class.

Thanks for all the comments. If any more experienced php coders would like join in let me know.

either for a certain instructor or for all CSC 116 classes as a whole regardless of instructor

That should be doable . I just need to find some free php/javascript graphing stuff.

3/19/2008 11:11:30 PM

Nice, me like.

3/19/2008 11:23:02 PM

This should be a Sticky, def adding to my Topics

3/19/2008 11:55:05 PM

i'm a bit in the works with this thing; i'll be looking into cleaning up the displayed code a bit and possibly finding more ways to sort the graphs. ppl keep throwing out suggestions and i'm sure we'll consider them if the boss man likes em.

wish i had had this thing earlier myself... unless i screw up in the next month i won't be using them again

3/20/2008 9:04:31 PM

I like it. Very quick, very easy.

Going to have to add this to my topics.

3/20/2008 9:52:59 PM

hopin to do some work on it this weekend.
ideas so far:

- sort by professor
- Google chart implementation

3/20/2008 10:23:40 PM

this would of been a lot of help to of had this available for my past 4 years of registering for classes here at state...

the way mypack portal is set up now it is such a bitch to pull up data while trying to figure out what you want to register for

3/21/2008 2:55:55 PM

gg on this guys

PS. I think its sad that students have to write their own tools to redo an interface that is so obviously flawed and has been that way for years. There is just no excuse for it.

...Oh, and if you need any more help improving it I can help.

[Edited on March 21, 2008 at 4:52 PM. Reason : didn't read that yall were still working on improving it]

3/21/2008 4:50:14 PM

^^ mypack is just putting the registration and records website in the frame. open a new browser window or tab and go straight to the website. mypack sucks.

3/21/2008 8:16:51 PM

mypack needs to DIAF. 'nuff said.

3/22/2008 2:29:23 AM

Very nice StateBoyLP

3/23/2008 12:40:57 PM

we got quite a bit done over the weekend but we're waiting to update it till we get the search implemented; there's just too much crap going on. we'll post this thread when that happens.

3/25/2008 2:05:41 AM

bttt

4/29/2008 12:09:45 AM

you should add an <hr> between each semester, makes it a little easier to read

4/29/2008 2:01:39 AM

W00T on the tool Fry!

I definitely need to take the "easy" teachers as slack as I am....

4/29/2008 2:20:16 AM

is there any way to make the letters at the ends of these classes work?

it seems like all the xxxH or xxxN or xxxA etc courses just won't work

4/29/2008 9:14:28 AM

gg so far

if you need any help implementing features or whatnot, lemme know. i gots dem skillz, yo.

4/29/2008 11:02:28 AM

^^, ^^^^ we can look into it, hopefully soon... we were hoping to get by finals first

thanks booz, stateboylp started it and i've been helpin him with it

What classes were you trying? I know some classes don't have a grade distribution posted because there weren't enough people in the class. Taken from the official site "NOTE: To insure statistical significance and student confidentiality, only sections with enrollment of 20 or more students are included."

4/30/2008 5:33:43 PM

just saw this thread. gg on the tool. though frosh is right, and it makes me sad that tww isn't the ultimate source of informed academic decision-making at nc state. maybe someday it will be again.

4/30/2008 6:40:01 PM

^^ It must be the number of people in it, then. 'Cause I've definitely tried ENG 497A and 491H with no success, but MDS 351Q works.

5/1/2008 7:36:14 AM

^^ yeah, its too bad most of you who never got to experience the awesomeness that was school tool. it was Joe's finest contribution to the site, and trumped Rides by many many orders of magnitude.

5/1/2008 10:19:53 AM

Doesn't this tool need to be updated. It's not picking up the Spring 08 grades.

6/29/2008 12:51:42 PM

we can check on that. i think we've both been pretty busy the past couple of weeks. i'll try to have a look soon and if it needs to be changed on our side. thanks for letting us know.

That was just cause she fucked up royally, got fired, and everyone got a free pass. Take a look at her past semesters.
