BannerPro Extension

This app will help students choose the best professor they can during class registration for Georgia Gwinnett College.

To use the app, go to the Banner 9 registration site:
https://ggc.gabest.usg.edu/StudentRegistrationSsb/ssb/registration

Select \"Browse classes\", then select a term, and click next. In the next screen, select a subject (you can leave the rest empty). Once the course listing shows up, it takes a couple of seconds for the plugin to load and retrieve the data. It will add \"Ratings\" and \"# Ratings\" columns and hovering on the professor name will show a detailed breakdown of their scores. Clicking on the names will take you to the ratings page for that person. See the screenshots below for examples.

Privacy statement: This browser extension is FERPA-compliant because it does not collect any user information. It only makes on-the-fly rating look-ups on external servers by sending school and professor names. It neither stores or sends any private user information locally or to remote servers.

Please remember that this extension is still in beta. If you find any issues, please feel free to contact [email protected] about the details thereof.

Updates:
- 0.3.3: Removed unnecessary permissions (9/19/2022 - CG)
- 0.3.2: Fixed broken CORS service by replacing with new one (9/5/2019 - MS)
- 0.3.1: Fixed broken API lookups by changing URL for rating (3/29/2019 - VG).
