There are a few professors who have conflicting registrar names:

  • Tianqi Wu/Ting-Ting Wu ("Wu, T.")
  • Sixiang Wang/Shenshen Wang ("Wang, S.")
  • Mi Kyung Kim/Miryung Kim ("Kim, M.")

Maybe we can relate instructors to specific subject areas?

Thinking about this more: we could add a subject_area_heuristics column to instructors. Prepopulate this as a data migration. When scraping, if we get an instructor who doesn't have a heuristic, we soft error so that we can fix.
