theCourseForum

connecting you to the courses you love.

theCourseForum is a place for University of Virginia students to share their academic experiences. These are captured in the form of course reviews, which provide insight, advice, and caution to students before course enrollment. We believe that reading student reflections is the best way to understand a class and its professor without actually experiencing it.

Of the students, by the students, for the students...

History

Founding

In Fall 2005, two University of Virginia students, Jeff Bordogna and Alan Webb had an idea for an app that would let UVA students share their classroom experiences.

Revival

In 2012-2013, a team of 6 student developers led by Justin Dao redesigned the site to bring it into the modern age using the Ruby on Rails framework.

CIO Era

In 2017, a successful year of recruitment and organizational growth resulted in UVA granting theCourseForum CIO status.

Revival 2.0

In Spring 2020, theCourseForum needed a fresh start. Under the leadership of Brian Yu, Sai Konuri, Brad Knaysi, and Jennifer Long, theCourseForum was re-built from scratch using the Python web-framework Django.
