Caesar+ Extension

This extension improves Northwestern University's Caesar class search functionality. It adds:
* Bookmarkable searches that you can save, load, and delete on the class search page. Saves and loads the term, class subject, course number parameters, the advanced search parameters, etc. so you don't have reinput them over and over again. Clicking the save button saves all the parameters that you currently have inputted on the screen.
* \"More Info\" button on search results page that lets you see info that is usually only available by clicking on a class and going to it's page. This info includes current class enrollment numbers, waitlist numbers, and prerequisites.
* \"New Tab\" button on search result page that lets you open a class result in a new tab. Note: All links and buttons (like the \"add class\" button) have been removed from this new tab page, because they no longer work when opened in a new tab. Still very useful for keeping track of and comparing classes.

None of your data is logged, it only runs when you are on the Caesar class search page, and you should not encounter any major problems on Caesar. Submit any feedback, requests, or bugs to [email protected]

Ella Weaver (ID: 00000061dbbf3d87) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/09/2021 Wow! Class searching is always difficult at Northwestern because the website is so poorly coded. Being able to save searches and more easily access class information is a lifesaver.
