Pick-a-Prof is stupid.

A couple of days ago, I logged onto Pick-a-Prof to check out my average grades and pass rates since I've been teaching at UTA (they maintain a record of that based on UTA's official grades). I forgot, however, how mean the students who log on to make comments can be. At least for me. Some others in the English department get glowing reviews, but ( Read more... )

As a coping mechanism, I'm going to imagine all the good, nice, non-cheating students I will have this summer. They will like me and they will learn from me. It will be lovely. *fingers crossed*

As a 40 year old junior who has completed 38 courses and maintained a 3.55 GPA, I have found that the nearly all of the reviews, of my past professors, have been spot-on. Instructors who have no reviews are safe in assuming that they are regarded as proficient, professional, and likable. An instructor with negative reviews should use the posts as a learning tool for examining the way in which she teaches.

True, you may only dispense A's 27% of time but what is your record with non-passing grades like D's and F's? If it's above 25% rest assured you will meet with anonymous resistance from students who strive to help others in their quest to "Prof-Shop."
