About

👋 Hi! I'm
  • Max
, a former student of Michigan Tech.I made this tool because Banweb is... well, it gets the job done. But whether you're taking a first pass at figuring out courses or planning out future semesters, using Banweb always feels more painful than necessary (why does it take so many clicks to navigate between course descriptions?).
That's where Michigan Tech Courses comes in. How does
  • ⚡️ instant search
  • 📅 integrated semester planning (with weekly / monthly schedule preview)
  • 📈 pass / fail / drop / class size stats
  • 🧑‍🏫 integrated instructor ratings
  • ↔️ searchable transfer courses (!)
sound?

In other words:

Banweb

Michigan Tech Courses

It currently costs ~$9 / month to host this, so if you found it useful feel free to
  • sponsor me
 or
  • buy me a coffee
.

🤔 Possible improvements

  • Allow viewing baskets across multiple semesters at once
  • Show the schedule for any classroom on campus
  • Allow sharing a basket as a link (send to your advisor or friends)
  • Allow students to add links / details to courses (like adding an invite link to a Discord server)

While I plan to maintain this site for the foreseeable future, I'm not planning on adding the above features or anything else.

If you know some of the tech I'm using and want to help maintain this and/or implement new features, please reach out!

📝 Notes

All times are in EST and are not adjusted for your current location. If you're in MN and a class section is labeled as starting at 10:00 AM, it would start at 9:00 AM in local time. Generated calendar events are not adjusted either for local time, but because they're based off of UTC will work just fine across timezones (i.e. you can imported a generated calendar in MN before coming up to school and the times will stay consistent).

Some courses have wrong "semesters offered" data. This is an issue with Banweb and not this site.
