Past Syllabi Gives Inconsistent Results

Open aidenmadaffri opened this issue 11 months ago • 2 comments

In my testing, the new Past Syllabi link does not return the correct results in some instances. These problems seem to be due to included the course title in the search. Two examples I've found:

Example 1:

Results are returned if the course title is excluded, even though this is the correct course title. I imagine this is an issue with how the UT page searches for the course.

Example 2:

Again, results are returned if the course title is excluded. In this case, it is because the course schedule abbreviates the actual name of the course as seen below.

The old method of searching by course number and professor last name seemed to always provide reliable results. Is there a reason this was changed?

Hey Aiden, thanks for pointing this out. This was an oversight, but we can change back to the old method of searching by course number and professor last name.

Thanks again, and we're on it.
