CalhounRMP
Chrome extension that displays Rate My Professors ratings directly on the Calhoun Community College class registration page.
Overview
This Chrome extension seamlessly integrates Rate My Professors (RMP) ratings directly into the Calhoun Community College course registration portal. It helps students make more informed decisions when selecting their classes by providing immediate access to professor ratings and reviews.
The extension's content script identifies the professor's name listed for each course on the registration page. It then communicates with the background script, which fetches the corresponding rating data from Rate My Professors. To minimize load times and API calls, professor ratings are cached locally for 24 hours.
