My course selection process:

Open UVic course scheduling
Give up and open CourseUp
Search for a relevant class
Navigate to RateMyProf (RMP) of the classes instructor
Search for the professor to make sure they're sane
Close the tab and go back to CourseUp
Add the course if the professor seems competant

What if my workflow was:

Open CourseUp
Search the class
Instantly see professor rating and make an informed choice

Pros:

Reduce friction
Accelerates course selection and informs students who are unaware of RMP

Cons:

Does RMP have an accessible API?
RMP doesn't always accurately reflect how good a prof is
Potentially involve CourseUp in politics?

Simply food for thought.
