Prof Ratings

Stephen linked to this research on ratemyprofessors.com this week. I can see why profs don't much like sites that let students vent about them, but it sure is an interesting use of the web, and you start to filter out the venting comments. I checked out the prof ratings in the education faculty at Memorial, where I've been taking online courses in the last couple of years, and found that the ratings were pretty much spot-on for the instructors I've had (and the reputations of the ones I haven't).
