Carleton Courses Throughout the Years

Max and I are planning to examine the Carleton academic catalogs throughout the years. 

Our Obectives:

1. 1. Convert the data into a searchable database.
   2. Sort the data.
   3. Run various operations and analysis on the data.
      • Amount of classes in different departments.
      • Use of words over time.
      • Number of classes taught by certain professors over time.
      • etc.

1. Look for conclusions and hypothesis based off the data.
2. Build a website to present it.
