❓ Q&A
Q: Is it working on other websites?
A: No, it will only activate on the GMU Patriot web.
Q: Is there any risk in using this?
A: No, this extension does not communicate with the GMU Patriot web. It only displays information on the Patriot web data grids.
Q: It is burdening for the server of Rate My Professors?
A: Most likely, No. Theoretically, it actually uses less data than regular users. My extension saves the data for later uses, but regular users will request new data every time they use Rate My Professors.

A: I did my best. It is my first time making a Chrome extension.
Q: Hi, I have found a bug/glitch/error/or suggestion
A: Please, report them back to me through my email. [email protected] so I can take a look!
📖 A little bit of the back story
Old version:
I have been thinking this idea for a while, but I hadn't been motivated enough to work on the idea until one of my teammates from PatriotHacks 2021 (which our team won! YAY! 💪) had the same idea during the brainstorming. Although our team has chosen another idea over this idea, I thought that if I had some free time in the future, I should definitely make this. Before the starting of the Fall 2021 semester, I had some free time. While I could just sit back again enjoy the summer break, I decided to make something as a side project that helps other students. Hence, this idea perfectly fits the categories.
New version:
Since the old version has been taken down due to the usage of manifest v3, I have not paid attention much. However, some of GMU students have contacted me to get me working this one, again. I was lazy to do it, but here I am.
I had to create the extension from the scratch due to Rate My Professor has taken down their old API and replaced to GraphQL. There were some hiccups, but I managed to create a new one.
