The questions ALMA is built to answer. Tap any of them to ask it live, every answer cites the official page it came from.

Name the course and ALMA reads the official grade history: every instructor who has taught it recently, their sections, average GPA, A rate and withdrawal rate. Ask “which instructor should I take for CS 225” and it answers from the numbers, never from rumor, and it flags when someone’s sample is too small to read into.
ALMA ranks them from the university’s own grade data rather than from a forum thread. Ask for the highest-GPA courses, the lowest, the most withdrawn, or narrow it to a subject like “easiest math classes”.
