CourseRank tracks scheduling conflicts, together with some other <a href="http://www.courserank.com/features.php">Interesting features</a>. For example, it gathers course/professor reviews, workload estimations and aggregates questions and answers.</p> <p>Right now the selection of universities is not that great. It makes sense since the service is specifically tailored to each university, so I can imagine the implementation can take a while.</p> <p><a href="http://www.academicproductivity.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/image.png"><img title="image" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin: 10px auto; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="296" alt="image" src="http://www.academicproductivity.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/image_thumb.png" width="444" border="0" /></a></p> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/AcademicProductivity?a=OtOiixfr4-4:PvBqJAQcMys:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/AcademicProductivity?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/AcademicProductivity?a=OtOiixfr4-4:PvBqJAQcMys:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/AcademicProductivity?i=OtOiixfr4-4:PvBqJAQcMys:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/AcademicProductivity?a=OtOiixfr4-4:PvBqJAQcMys:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/AcademicProductivity?i=OtOiixfr4-4:PvBqJAQcMys:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/AcademicProductivity?a=OtOiixfr4-4:PvBqJAQcMys:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/AcademicProductivity?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> </div> <p><a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AcademicProductivity/~3/OtOiixfr4-4/">Link</a>
