Sanjeev Penupala (ID: 000000e977082dfd) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/10/2022 Damn, idk why I am finding this now, but this needs to be marketed to all UTD students already. Such an improvement and you are only concerned with minimal information that you need for the portal to begin wtih

Aadesh Senthilkumar (ID: 000000cc5d043810) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/08/2022 Just installed because it looked like a fun extension developed by UTD students but boy was I wrong. This is 100% life changing. Much superior UI than what blackboard has to offer. Hope you guys get paid by them in the future.
