Footnotes

Courses with multiple departments (e.g. CPSC 150/HUMS 407) are listed multiple times because how YBB structures its records. For this prototype, it was preferable to overcount rather than to restrict each class to be affiliated with only 1 major.

Courses in Graduate Programs / with less than 4 students may be missing.

The spark-histograms read from left to right. Each bar's index position corresponds to a particular rating, from 1 to 5.

Student counts are based on the number of reviews provided - if students did not provide reviews/ratings, they were excluded from the class total count. As a result, they are not exact.
