Do you use ratemyprofessor.com?

I use it a lil but my school's internet blocks it somehow so we cant get to it here

I actually found out about that site from my advisor. It was funny we even looked up and saw how she was rated. It was really useful for me because I'm terrible in economics and I just wanted an easy prof. so I could graduate.

I used it just a few minutes ago. I gave two of my teachers a green face. Some people say that the bad marks come from freshmen who don't study and/or attend classes. But I'm not a freshman (as you all know), and I tell the truth when it comes to professors.

I use this to see who's a good professor or not when it comes to selecting classes.

One word of advice, if you are in your final two semesters, and if you find out that the professor have a bad mark and if he's teaching the class (and if there's only one class in that course), ignore the ratings and be prepared to study or do whatever that is expected of him.

Damn, we're no longer the school with the most entries, but I know we'll eventually catch up with GVSU.

Rate my Professor has increased in popularity, but I use Pick-A-Prof. You have to pay $5 a semester to use it, but I really like it. You can give a thorough explanation of the teacher (instead of the 300 character limit that ratemyprofessor has).

I check rate my professor there too, but I like to read the comments and not a lot of people at RMP leave comments.

At Pitt, we have teacher evaluations every semester. However, the students never get to see the results of these surveys, which I think is ridiculously unfair!

Same both @ Brooklyn College where I started and @ JWU where I am now.

I use ratemyprofessor.com. I have yet to have it totally make or break me, as I use word of mouth from people that I know that took the prof first, but I have had it help me decide when I wasn't sure, or at least prepare me for what I was in store for.

I'm now the RatemyProfessor administrator for my school!! Woohoo...go me.

I have to make sure that all the professor's have First and Last names, and make sure there are no duplicates....plus making sure the ratings and comments don't have any profanity or nothing in em!

Yes I do. I try to give honest feedback there. not just "Waaah he was an asshole and gave me a C." I try to say things like "Read the book because all the test material is not from the lecture".

We had it at Boston U., but there also used to be another guide put out by students through the school. I forgot the name, but they used to pass out surveys at the end of each semester, and then publish their findings in a guide and on the web. I always found that more helpful, because it was from a larger population.

I go to a small school, so basically after the first semester here, I know who and who not to take. However, I do use it to look up a prof. whom I haven't heard anything about. However, I would imagine it's a lot more useful at larger schools.
