Profspect
Course and instructor research, fit to your goals
Profspect turns a weekend of RateMyProfessors, Reddit, and catalog digging into one clear decision. Tell us your school, major, goals, and the courses you are weighing, and get a scored, source-linked report with a term-by-term plan. Free, invite-only pilot.
Hi Product Hunt! I'm Carter, the maker of Profspect.
I built this because I kept hitting the same wall as a community college student trying to transfer.
Every term, picking courses meant a weekend of cross-referencing RateMyProfessors, Reddit threads, the course catalog, and articulation guides, and then still feeling like I was guessing. The
information was technically out there. It was just scattered across ten tabs and never organized
around what I actually cared about.
So Profspect does that work for you. You tell it your school, your major, your goals (grade
stability, research, workload, schedule, whatever matters to you), and the courses you are weighing. It researches the public record and hands back a scored, source-linked report with a term-by-term plan. Everything is goal-relative and tied to a source: it describes how a course or section tends to run for someone with your goals, and links to where that came from so you can check the receipts. A report is saved research and one input for your decision, so I always tell people to confirm the make-or-break details with their college before they register.
Right now I'm running a small, free pilot, and it is invite-only on purpose. I would rather go deep
with a handful of students and learn what actually helps than open the doors and guess. If you have ever lost a weekend to course planning, I would love to have you in it. Hop into the Discord (link above), tell me your school and what you are trying to do, and I will send you an access code as spots open. I will be here all day reading every comment.
Thank you for checking it out!
