Web Interface For UwFlow

Create Users, and rate classes. Create a lot of users and rate a lot of classes. UW Flow is built with no security, from their user log in to their copy and pasted user agreement. Which is weird as one of its co-founders is working at a cyber security firm.

One Clean Form

The Submission form to add a user creation and rateing job is right below this. Add a job to the queue and watch it execute.

No Time For Just 1 Review?

Sometimes, you just really have to leave 5 reviews instead of 1. Is today a 5 review day? Treat yourself to 5 reviews!

Post some reviews to the queue!

formatting is important! Format like I have outlined below

  • 1) Pick a Faculty (only MATH for now) (tbh, im not going to flesh this out to any other Faculty)
  • 2) Pick a Factulty in the program (stat, actsc, cs, etc.)
  • 3) Pick a Class, ANY ONE class, to review, and format it like the following: econ101 or stat201 or engl101 etc.
  • 4) click the cheks for usefulnmess, interest, and easiness (checked means yes)
  • 5) input the number of votes, which must be an intiger between 1 and 5

      • If you submit a request improperly formatted, your request will not be executed

Pro Tips

Don't get botted! It's a real pain
Validate Everything!

UwFlow is not checking whether the time I’m taking the course is in fact valid. I was able to add courses when they weren't being offered in the term I claimed to be taking them, and uwflow actually assumed they had made a mistake, creating the class in a term it wasn't offered, and making me the only person enrolled in it

Check Emails

They have set up a check on the password length, to protect their users, but have they have not set up a validation of email to protect themselves. they don't use user tokens and email validation to make sure the email belongs to the person signing up with it. This functionality usually stops would-be bots in the their tracks: it's one thing to make a series of web requests, it's another to create a new email address each time (it would at least slow them down significantly).

Dont Copy and Paste the ToS

The terms of service is too generous. It's complying completely with the California laws on data protection, focusing almost exclusively on how it's not abusing consumer data. It has omitted what visitors are not allowed to do, mainly creating bots or scraping the site.
