<p>I’m not sure how big of a problem selecting classes is for students, and how much it can be automated, but now there’s a tool specifically solving this problem. 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>
