ucbgrades

Code for scraping grade distributions from UC Berkeley's ScheduleBuilder and analyzing it.

Requirements

The project requires Python 2.6 or 2.7 (untested with other versions), as well as several Python packages, including BeautifulSoup, Requests, SQLAlchemy, and PyExecJS (which will require a JavaScript runtime).

Usage

python run.py will run the scrapers, populate a SQLite3 database grades.db, and output department course averages to dept_avgs.csv. plots/plots.R will generate some histograms and a density overlay plot once the path to the CSV file is changed inside the script.
