Will my professor catch me using this?+
Course Gap Map is a study aid, not a cheating tool. Use it the same way you'd use a calculator, dictionary, or office hours: to understand the work, not to dodge it. For assignments where AI is explicitly banned, don't use it. For everything else (problem sets, exam prep, learning a topic faster), it's fair game.
Do I need to download anything?+
No. Course Gap Map runs in your browser. Works on Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android. There's also a mobile-installable version (PWA) at backrow.ai if you want it on your home screen.
