<p>Where do you do your BG checks on your professors?</p>
<p>uhhh....</p>
<p>I do not know of doing background checks on professors. But, you can go on ratemyprofessors.com, professorperformance.com (used to be called, myprofessorsucks) or myspace to read little reviews. </p>
<p>If you are interested in the academics of the prof you can google them on the google scholar or something.</p>
<p>Thanks for the links, Merlin.</p>
<p>i have used ratemyprofessor.com, but i often dont agree with the posts.</p>
<p>I am a member of a greek org so I ask around my sorority to people who, i think, are like me (similar academic goals, academic calibur, etc). That has been pretty successful.</p>
<p>I didn't mean real bg checks ;) </p>
<p>Thanks for the links</p>
<p>ok so ratemyprofessor.com I never liked, and professorperfomance has like 3 teachers for my entire school; what was that about myspace?</p>
<p>Well, myspace has professor reviews.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pickaprof.com%5B/url%5D">http://www.pickaprof.com</a> is a useful tool for assessing how a particular professor assigns grades. It is less useful, however, for a professor teaching a class for the first time.</p>
<p>what is professorperformance? i have never heard of it</p>
<p>ratemyprofessor has always been accurate for me.</p>
<p>"Well, myspace has professor reviews." can't see or find what you're refering to.</p>
<p>On myspace you have to add your school, and then on your homepage, right under where your picture and profile editing options are there is a link that says "grade my professor! try now!" and it has a little picture of a graduation cap. It's the first link on the white page under the blue square in the top corner.</p>
<p>I think flgirl04 has the best idea. Your peers, who have similar interests, agandas, and academic goals will have you a more useful evaluation than random strangers on a website, especially if the professor in question only has two or three ratings.</p>
