Unofficial University of Saskatchewan Degree Program Requirements Scraper

The broad goal in mind for this project is to provide a comprehensive mapping of knowledge pathways and their intersection with the academic opportunities at the University of Saskatchewan within a mental framework that first-time students can use to their advantage.

Implemented Capabilities

  • Scrapes usask.ca for all publicly available requirements in any or all degree programs.
    • Provides some parsing, but no user interface.

Background

Current web-based tools from the university don't assist students with making wise, self-guided decisions about their education planning, such as preparing to meet all course prerequisites efficiently, or to optimize the value of their time spent earning multiple degrees.

I'm currently in need of some perspective in this area, and I see the opportunity to solve this problem for myself and others in the same situation.

Development Goal

Immediate Milestone:

Build a course dependency tree to help with degree program planning, by allowing users to see the path through prerequisites to any course, and the overlapping courses amongst offered programs.

Far Future Goal

To tie in ontological outlines gathered from:

  • course syllabi
  • textbooks, lab manuals and other course materials
  • as yet unanticipated sources
