Howdy!

You're probably wondering what this whole "Course Aspect" thing is all about, right?

Well, imagine Quest, UW-Ace, Wikipedia, and Waterloo's Undergraduate Calendar merging together (by our powers combined!). The result of that amalgamation is Course Aspect.

What does that get us, Quacpedia?

No. Let's not be ridiculous. Course Aspect solves a nice little bundle of problems that, individually, each of the websites above don't. Let's take a look at some.

So you want to graduate, eh?

I'm going to go ahead and assume that you want to graduate. You probably have a vague idea of the major you're aiming for, and you might even be motivated enough to attach a minor (or two) to it. Can you list off, right now, which courses you need in order to graduate with your dream degree? Probably not without a bit of work involving charts and checklists. Course Aspect makes meeting degree requirements easy. Just let us know the details of your dream degree and we'll let you know what's next in your academic future.

I've lost my syllabus, there's no course website, and neither are on UW-Ace, help!

With Course Aspect, students govern the flow of information. Any student can add course information to the current "aspect" of the course, regardless of whether the prof has opted to list the course in UW-Ace or not. Never again will you have to rummage through your papers just to find out when your next assignment is due.

I've never even heard of that building!

Ever used Google maps? Wouldn't it be cool if you could use something similar for finding your way around campus?

Now you can. Check it out:
But we didn't stop there: we even digitized the internal building maps of every building on campus.

Fun, eh? If you didn't try already, you should definitely zoom into one of the buildings as much as you can. You'll be pleasantly surprised.
