One of the biggest advantages of being an upperclassmen is being “in the know.” Upperclassmen know where all the campus building and offices are, they know which vending machines are always getting stuck, who the hottest cheerleader is and so on.
Freshmen on the other hand are just as easy to spot. Just look for one of those campus maps and a confused, desperate expression on their face. Once they finally do find that class (How am I supposed to know where 340 JSB-A is?) they sit down and discover that they are the only idiot who signed up for Professor Johnson’s American Heritage class, when everybody knows that Professor Daynes spells out the final exam in the review session.
Lucky for you though, this entire scenario can be avoided.
Dear sweet-little-uninformed-baby freshman, I like to introduce you to a little gem called ratemyprofessors.com
Ratemyprofessors.com is a Web site where students can submit rating and comments about professors. Professors are scored on a 1-5 scale in categories including quality, helpfulness, clarity, easiness and even “hotness,” marked with chili peppers.
According to the Web site, rankings are formulated by finding the mean average of the ratings, with a higher emphasis being placed on the most recent ratings. The site contains more than six million ratings, for more than half a million professors.
Unfortunately it appears that a few college professors have discovered the internet though, and the site has added a “rebuttal feature” which allows professors to respond to student comments. If that wasn’t enough there are even a few “Professor Strikes Back” videos.
So log on and get the skinny on which classes to take from whom. And while your on the site take a gander at RatemyProfessors list of the Top 50 Hottest Professors. (Note: This is the last time I will being using the term ‘hottest’ in a blog post; so cliche.)
