A new year, a new major version!

The New Stuff
:Course Reviews
- By popular demand, we are introducing course reviews in favour of simple ratings. In addition to being able to rate a course, students are now able to add a review/comment and provide even more insight into their experience with a particular course and professor
- With this feature, individual course reviews are now visible on their respective course-page
- Reviews can be liked/disliked, filtered, and sorted
- Students are also able to view and edit their reviews from the user dashboard
Note:
- Account @usernames are displayed on reviews for everyone to see. @usernames can be changed in the dashboard
- Reviews with grades will not display the grade for privacy reasons. However, all the grades on reviews associated with a course will be visible in the Review Overview section (existing behaviour)
- Reviews are subject to reporting/flagging by the application and other users. Accounts that receive (3) flagged reviews (which are verified by an admin) may result in, among other things, termination or suspension of rights to use the Site.
- Be respectful and follow our Terms of Use
MyDashboard
