For our Student-Athletes at College

Some of you may already know of the site, Rate My Professors. I was browsing through some of my son's new profs when it occured to me that the comments posted by students are really a goldmine of information on how a particular prof teaches, how they construct their tests (mainly lecture material or mainly texts), their apparent likes and dislikes, etc.........all of which could be helpful in knowing how to approach a particular course and how to best prep for test time.

Best when used with Atheltic Academic Advisor the semester before to decide what section of classes to take in the future...know who to avoid...and who to take...

Also many schools have a "local" information as well...

Son does the same thing at UTA. They have a site somewhat like that and son looks at it and takes into account different variables and decides which Professor best suits him. In some cases, you had better start early as some of the so called "good professors" fill up pretty fast.

Thats funny my son was on there last night. that is a gold mine. He was going to drop a class and ended up keeping it because its a math class and the rating was extremely high and everyone said he was one of the best math teachers they ever had. So for my son a good math teacher makes a lot of difference in how you do in a math class.
And very true to look up teachers before you sign up for classes. good tool.
