  TIPS FOR CHOOSING PROFESSORS

  • Look at the number of reviews - More reviews generally means more reliable ratings
  • Read recent comments - They often mention specific teaching styles, grading policies, and course requirements
  • Consider difficulty vs. your goals - A harder professor might teach you more
  • Check course-specific ratings - A professor might be great for one subject but not another
  • Don't rely solely on ratings - Use them as one factor in your decision
