<p>How do you read the comments of each professor?</p>
<p>It has like the first 9 words of each rating, but you can't click on it to see the rest of the comment.</p>
<p>How you do see all of the comments?</p>
<p>it used to not be like that.
I think its broken or messed up right now. =/</p>
<p>Yeah, just check it out, that's a new error. Maybe it is because they have switched to a new site?</p>
<p>Does anyone know when this new site will be up and where? It's been frustrating because SenateCourseGuide stopped accepting new reviews about two years ago and seems to lack many of the newer professors now teaching classes. This leaves you relying on old reviews or the incredibly uninformative and dated scores posted by the school itself (I've been in classes where students mark 4s or 5s down the entire column just so they can leave a few minutes early).</p>
<p>The student senate needs to get their stuff together, because the guide was probably one of the most frequently used and genuinely useful resources offered.</p>
<p>My daughter went to both sites and they are both identical information except one you have to use the USC ID to log in. Is this right?</p>
<p>Columbia, which two sites did she visits? I'm only familiar with the one at USC's</a> Senate Course Guide, which as Tim notes is currently truncating professor reviews. Is there a second site up and running that now requires a USC ID?</p>
<p>There is also the third-party site RateMyProfessors.com, though I think this site is used less frequently.</p>
<p>Wait...</p>
<p>there a multiple sites?</p>
<p>can someone post the link for both</p>
<p>USC</a> Undergraduate Student Government</p>
<p>That is the new website. There aren't many up yet, because people are just learning about it.</p>
<p>She used all 3 to get an accurate reading. The ratemyprofessor site does not have some current professors. However, which rating should she pay the most attention? She picked the last bar rating, which I do not know if that is accurate. My internet is acting crazy when I go on that site so I can't post what it says.</p>
<p>Here is a sample, which one is more important criteria, is the last line the more important criteria?</p>

<p>PS: I'm not shouting. I'm having fun with size, I just learned how to do this today. :D</p>
<p>the new USG guide is rubbish, there seems to be only a handful of reviews and I submitted a few courses to be added a month ago so taht i could write my reviews for them and it hasn't been approved.</p>
<p>USG needs to get it together if they want to replace the senate course guide</p>
<p>why did they put down senatecourseguide? URGGH this is really frustrating</p>
<p>My understanding was that the Student Senate felt the Course Guide needed to be more secure and only allow reviews from users who log in, hence the cumbersome submission process now.</p>
<p>I don't know why the old guide was taken down so quickly, though maybe USG felt it wasn't reliable or timely any more. Anyway, it is a bad situation all around and we are left with very few, if any, reliable resources in choosing classes.</p>
<p>I wonder how we can get involved with Student Senate. On Dec 09, 2006, they removed the Top Ten Professors lists, which I thought were helpful. I can understand that some can be offended by such lists, but if readers understand the inherent biases in such a system, the rankings can also be helpful. I found that they were fairly accurate - certainly Gene Bickers deserved/deserves the high effectiveness rating he had.</p>
<p>i love the new usg course guide, i think it's way more helpful than the old one and there are way more reviews on it now than there used to be. everyone should log on usg.usc.edu/courseguide and use it cuz it rocks now.</p>
<p>let's take a look at the number of reviews available...</p>
<p>COMM - 0 professor reviews
BISC - 0 professor reviews
CHEM - 2 professor reviews
Keck-HP - 1 professor reviews
WRIT - 0 professor reviews
HIST - 0 professor reviews
Marshall-BUAD - 5 professor reviews
MATH - 0 professor reviews
PHYS - 0 professor reviews</p>
<p>...i think the point is made.</p>
<p>yeah you can tell how they only have one post...</p>
<p>but yeah i'll review my classes I guess... for the next decade of students..e.h
yes it's about this time when building schedules that the lack of a proper senatecourseguide kicks in</p>
<p>Hey everyone, I just found out where USC publishes the results from the course evaluations that we do at the end of the semester. I don't know if this has been up for a wihle or not, but I had never noticed it before. It is under Single Sign On Quicklinks on My.usc.edu and here is the link

<p>Hopefully this isn't old news.</p>
<p>thankyou! =D</p>
