About Us
Prestissimo was conceived after a particularly frustrating hour and a half spent searching for classes worth 3 credits of social science that also fulfilled the writing proficiency requirement. After undergoing the tedious process of looking through the entire course catalog manually, it became apparent that there needed to be something faster than PRESTO.
Intended as a supplement to OberView, Prestissimo allows you to search through all of Oberlin's courses with a finer level of control over such search criteria as graduation proficiencies, days and times, departments, professors, and more.
