Baltimore, MD - November 1, 2006 -- Students have turned the tables on their professors at RateMyProfessors.com (http://www.ratemyprofessors.com), the Internet's largest listing of college professor ratings. The free website offers a public review (and sometimes a public flogging) of university professors from across the United States, Canada and Ireland. Online since 1999, RateMyProfessors now contains over 6,300,000 ratings for professors from 6000 schools, with thousands of new ratings added each day.
"Every semester, millions of students use the site to help plan their class schedules, and improve the quality of their educations," said the site's president and founder, John Swapceinski. "When word of the website gets out at a university, the ratings grow like wildfire and students really begin to benefit from the information."
RateMyProfessors allows students to anonymously rate their professors in each of three categories: Helpfulness, Clarity, and Easiness. Now, students can see who the hottest professors are at their school, as well as read the top 15 funniest ratings, like rating number 5: "He will destroy you like an academic ninja."
なお、RateMyProfessors.comは、MTV Networksに買収されると2007.01.17に発表されている。
