About WesternScope

What this is

WesternScope is a course review site for Western University. It exists so Mustangs can read honest, anonymous notes from other students before they enrol in a class - what the workload was actually like, whether the prof made it click, how much the final mattered. It is built and maintained by a Western student in their spare time.

How reviews work

• Anyone can create a free account with a verified email and post reviews.
• Reviews are shown anonymously. Your name and email are never displayed alongside what you write.
• You can edit or delete your reviews at any time from your My reviews page.
• One review per course per person.

Where the course data comes from

Course titles, descriptions, prerequisites, antirequisites, credit weights, and campus availability come from an official export of the Western Academic Calendar, provided directly by Western’s Office of the Registrar. The catalog currently covers roughly 6,700 courses across the Main, Huron, and King’s campuses.

Calendar data can change between terms. If you spot something out of date or missing, let us know on the contact page and we will get it corrected.
