Forward prerequisite checking tool
Is there a tool that exists to check all the courses that require a specific input course? Say I input PHYS-1200, this hypothetical tool would show me all of the courses that has PHYS-1200 as a prerequisite.

Prompt chat gpt or Google Gemini or both, including ‘using the 2026:2027 course catalog’. Then for each course produced, go into the RPI course catalog and check the course prerequisites for phys 1200 to confirm .

Not that I know of. A friend and I wanted to build such a tool as an addition to Quacks, but we haven't done so yet. I have a workaround spreadsheet which contains a table with all the courses in the catalog (obtained from the Quacks data catalog) and lists the prerequisites for each. Using Excel column filtering, it is possible to quickly filter for courses that have PHYS-1200 as a prereq. I can share a link to the spreadsheet over DM if you would like.
