About Course Insights

Helping UW-Madison students make informed course decisions through AI-powered analysis of real student experiences

Our Mission

Every semester, thousands of UW-Madison students ask the same questions: "How difficult is this course?" "What should I expect?" "Is this professor good?"

We believe students deserve access to real, unfiltered insights from their peers. That's why we created Course Insights - to aggregate and analyze the wealth of student experiences shared on Reddit's r/UWMadison community.
