VERY USEFUL

48/48 students agree. My last CS professor sucked horse cock. It's just a shame that by the time you know about that site, it's really too late because you can't avoid the bad prof's anyway....

Naturally you have to take the opinions with a grain, but I found it to be VERY helpful.

Yeah, but you can usually get a general idea just by how the responses are typed. I've seen reviews for English professors typed as follows: "she sucked. it dont matter if u try or not she just sucks at teaching. if u dont want ur grade to drop dont take her."

But you can find some decent reviews on there as well.

Okay... but was he a good CS teacher?

I'll say it's very useful.

It's useful if your school's sudent government doesn't have something similar already. GAtech's SGA has awesome database site where you can look at the professor's stats and his grading history. Too bad you can't view the comments until few years goes by after the comment was made.

I find pickaprof.com to be much much better.

Am I missing something, or is pickaprof not free anymore?

Fvcking terrible. Worst professor I ever had ever. EVer ever. That bad.

Cliffs of his class:
1) This is a class about Java, so 45% of your grade will be based on your memorization of my propriatary UML system.
2) My syllabus will change all the time, particularly if I find a way to change the grade weights to fvck more of you over.
3) I will ask you vague questions on exams and mark you completley wrong if your ESP is off and I will refuse to answer questions during exams
4) I reuse questions year after year so you may not keep your exams, either to study from or to prove that I am an unfair grader
5) The project specifications as written on the requrements sheet actually encompas only about 20% of what you will actually be graded on. Upwards of 50% of a project's value can be deducted if I don't think it's "user friendly" and by that I mean "formatted exactly the way I want it to the fvcking pixel even though that is specified NOWHERE on the spec sheet" (this was java gui)
6) Project speficiations may be altered (but only in ways that will make it MORE complex) at any time verbally, by my stuttering class, moaning while deficating or mumbling in my sleep.
7) If I screw up when I try to compile your project, you automatically fail unless you actaully want to know why you failed and then I realize that I screwed up the compile, after which I will blame you.
8) If you can't do linear equasions and calc on my exams without a calculator, you are obviously bad at math and you should be penalized for that too... in excess of two letter grades wherever possible, even though you'll run out of time AFTER skipping it.

I could go on.
