I considered the info on this site when choosing instructors this semester. I'd only pay attention if there are more than 5 separate ratings for an instructor, and only if it contains specific info. Example, my algebra instructor is from another country and nobody can understand her. That would have been good to know.

I used this website for determining my classes this semester. It really helped. I also posted comments about my two previous professors! Word of mouth is great too!

I've used this website for the last three semesters, it has yet to let me down. I always take everything with a grain of salt and mainly rely on reviews with more than a couple of responses. I think its a wonderful resource.

I've used this site a lot. This semester I chose all my classes based on it. I look at all the factors that are included, not just how hard they are. I like to read other student's comments about how the class is set-up, how helpful the teacher is if you need help, etc. This is my most favorite semester ever!

I should have taken the comments more serious when I read about my terrible A&P teacher before I signed up for his class. :rolleyes: I also posted a 'warning' when the class was done.

I will definitely use this site to choose future professors!!!! Very helpful.

That site will only guide you if there is 3 or more neg. comments you know not to take that instructor, if there is alot positives, you know your ok atleast you have some clue of what is ahead of you. Each reply is only a opinion but again gives you something to go by.

I use this site on occassion. It just gives you a slight overview.

On a humorous note. I got the following email from one of my teachers a few months after the class endded about the site:

Hello Everyone,

I was taking a break from prepping for this coming week's classes and came

upon a web site called "ratemyprofessors.com" I would like to invite you

to go to the site and add your comments regarding your opinion about my

teaching. There are very few comments for many of Century's professors,

and only 4 for me - two are very derogatory and potentially libelous; they

don't reflect what I received on the opinion forms you completed for me,

which were also completed anonymously and not seen until after the course

grading was complete. If you could take a minute to go to this site, I

would appreciate it! Negative opinions are, of course, fair (although

harder on the ego), but comments like my "doing too much acid in the 60's"

are just plain unfair. Besides, I was a just a cute little kid in the 60's!

Thanks for your help. Drop me a line sometime and let me know how you are!

I worship and live by this website. It hasn't let me down yet, wish it was around 10 years ago!

This is an interesting site that can be useful as well.

http://pickaprof.com/

It shows the grade percentages given by the professors to the students.

For example:

chemistry 101

Prof Brown--- A:32%, B: 49% C: 18% D:0% F: 1%

The website says it gets the grades directly from the participating colleges!

I wish I had seen this site before I took A&P with a professor with a history of only 4% of his sutdents getting A's. Thankfully, I busted butt and got an A in his class, but he was an extremely difficult teacher.
