UWcourses.com

Uwcourses.com is a site made by my friend Sergey which came out of data we gathered for Statistics final project.

We scraped data from the UW Course Evaluation catalog (visible only to students) and even archived evals using the wayback machine and related it with public state employee salary data (not on the page itself).

The result of the statistics project was a wealth of relational data, and the site Sergey made hooks it up to an interface that is far easier to navigate than scrolling through alphabetical pages of the eval data.

Check it out, especially if you attend the UW
