This morning, shortly after midnight, we rolled out version 2.0 of UGA Key. We have been working on it for a while, and are excited to roll it out for everyone. Go, check it out!
This new version of UGAKey.com uses a newer system to display grade tables, which solves a problem we’ve had for a while (some people had trouble viewing in Safari and Internet Explorer and on slower systems). It also means that grade tables load much (much!) faster than before. In fact, I just loaded all English subject classes (almost 3,000 classes worth of data) and the page finished loading within 8 seconds (that’s on a fresh install of Firefox 3.5 RC3).
The new version also includes course syllabi, a frequent request. Check out the column on the far right when looking at grades – if there is a link in the cell, we have the syllabus in our repository. We will be adding more syllabi as we move forward.
This version of UGAKey.com contains grades from Fall 1999 through Spring 2009. That’s ten years worth of grades for you to use when choosing courses! This also means we have 32,366 classes worth of data!
If you happen to prefer the old version of UGAKey.com, you can find it here. We can’t guarantee how long it will work and the grades on it only go through 2008, but it is up for the time being.
We would love to hear from UGA students! Do you like the new Key, love it, hate it? Get in touch with us! We think we’ve squashed all of the bugs, but if you have any problems or suggestions, please contact us.
