Here is another impression about ratemyprofessors.com, as it seems to generate endless discussion about the anonymous comments.
Is it really like being a contestant on American Idol?

One way to avoid the silliness of RateMyProfessor is to direct students to the campus resources that give them a better picture of professor performance. All SOS materials are open for public review in the Polk Library, third floor. If students want to use RatemyProf as a joke site, fine. But if they want more substantial information, it is available to all.
Looking over comments about UWO colleagues with whom I am familiar, I see very very very few - positive or negative - that do not accurately describe some aspect of the person's teaching persona. Some comments are quite crass and hurtful, and yes many reveal a great deal of self-absorption, but few honestly are inaccurate. Many of us are not so sharp as we fancy ourselves.
