- Background behind the instructor's name changes color corresponding to their rating
- Click on any teacher's name to see their full Polyratings page (if it exists)
- Search Polyratings for teachers and classes from the Chrome search bar (keyword is 'rating')

- Checkbox at the top of each class list to select/unselect all classes at once
- Click on any section header to toggle showing/hiding the course description
