WGU-Reddit Snapshot

This site accompanies the WGU-Reddit Analyzer project, an LLM (Large Language Model) pipeline used to analyze Reddit posts about WGU courses. The pipeline processes a fixed snapshot of posts to surface commonly discussed difficulties and converts noisy social media text into structured data that can be examined by course or college.

This snapshot includes 1,103 posts across 242 courses, filtered for low sentiment. Counts reflect discussion volume (posts), not students, and do not measure satisfaction or performance.

This site contains AI-generated content and may contain mistakes.
