Preview courses to be sure you find the best fit
Empowering students with the syllabus during the course selection and registration process is tremendously valuable. This already happens, but the institute doesn't participate in it. Sites like RateYourProfessor.com and social and service fraternaties keep a wealth of information about courses to give students insight into the courses they are looking to take. Why not make this information readily available?
With Concourse, students can access syllabi before registration so they know exactly what to expect when they go through the course. Students are no longer limited by short and vague course catalog descriptions to determine if they will sign up. With better access to information, students will be enrolled in the right classes from day one. In turn, the add/drop rate will be reduced, saving institute resources by mitigating the number of unprofitable, low enrollment courses that must still be held.
