[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I helped my kid this first semester because using the school's website to pick classes and avoid schedule conflicts, then looking at "rate My Professor" can be a little complicated.  You have to read between the lines of some course descriptions too.  Anyway, after this it will be the kid's job.  I don't see any problem with assisting them this first time out.[/quote]

‘Rate My Professor’ will do more to destroy the student’s education than help it.
[b]Professors receive higher marks for being ‘an easy A’ than their ability, experience,[/b] and discipline understanding. 
The student who earns a B in a difficult, challenging class learns so much more than the ‘easy A’.
Much more accurate information exists to help a student find the best quality and qualified instructors.[/quote]

Completely not true. The school we were looking at is well known for not giving out any easy A's.  I'm intelligent and discerning enough to weed out the useless, unhelpful reviews -- kinda like yours.  Usually the comments went to the availability of the prof, their helpfulness in answering questions, their level of enthusiasm.  I found it quite helpful.[/quote]

Northern Arkansas A&M is a diploma mill, hope you child doesn’t hang with the moonshiners.[/quote]
