It's over! (officially)

It was kinda lame actually. I loved my astronomy class, but all of my other professors were very boring. But I still preferred it to high school immensely.

For next semester, I looked up all my teachers on ratemyprofessors.com, so hopefully I won't end up with anyone as bitter and stubborn as I did this time.
 
Congrats absolutely! I have a couple years left (should only be one, but I fucked around too much) and couldn't be more excited to finish!!!

I look on that site and on MySpace's Professor grading thing, but in all truth they're not that reliable. I took a teacher last semester who got absolutely HORRIBLE reviews on both sites, and it ended up being one of the most interesting and fun classes I've ever taken; the teacher was extremely nice. I find a lot negative reviews are just from students who didn't do the work or bother to talk to their professors, and were somehow offended when they were failed.
 
Well... the two really terrible professors I had got nothing but bad reviews, so for this semester I'm taking classes where the ratings were at least mixed. I'm going to take an anthropology class, and the teacher didn't have great reviews, but most of them said that she was passionate but disorganized. Which I were prefer vastly to structured and boring.
 
Yeah, if a trait comes up in multiple reviews, it's probably accurate. I'm taking a class in the spring with a professor who is apparently boring, but these upper-level courses are stressing me out so I wouldn't mind something dull once a week right about now. :lol:

Yup. I had a really old guy for human evolution who got bad reviews on ratemyprofessor. Mostly because people weren't interested in the subject and didn't understand his humor. One of my favorite professors to listen to. Either than that, the reviews on other professors have been correct.
 
I just heard about ratemyprofessor a few weeks ago, at the end of the semester, but I decided to look up all my past professors and see how it went.

My microbiology professor is probably one of the best professors I've had as far as teaching skills and making the class interesting go, and all everyone would rate on that site is OMG HE IS SO TERRIBLE HIS TESTS AREN'T MULTIPLE CHOICE AND THEY TAKE US 4 HOURS TO TAKE AND ALL HE DOES IS TALK ABOUT MICROBIOLOGY CUZ HE'S SO FULL OF HIMSELF CUZ HE USED TO BE A FAMOUS RESEARCHER BLAH BLAH BLAH


uhhhhh
 
yay kawen, congrats! it's awesome that you're able to make such a quick transition to such a good and high-paying job actually using your skills and knowledge. i know so many people who worked so hard in college only to be working a job that has NOTHING to do with what they studied (aka - people at home depot lol)

congrats to isabel, too!

The Art Institute will hook you up, yo.

If you can afford to go there :loco:

Exactly! Some of my best classes were with professors who got bad reviews from students that failed because they didn't do the work/ were lazy ..
Some dummy even wrote that he stayed up playing Xbox until 3 am, and was late to class and the Art Institute's policy is when you're more than 15 minutes late to class, you are marked absent, so that dummy wrote
the professor wrote him absent and then gave him a 0 for the day because he didn't have his work done and i'm like: IDIOT, you were playing xbox until 3, weren't you?
Some people should be banned from giving reviews...

That's probably the best way to go, Izabel! mixed reviews is what I used to go by as well, and hopefully, your next semester won't be as lame as the first... ! What's your major?
 
I'm always disturbed by how obviously homosexual all the guys are in their commercials.

haha, It's true! I even looked up AID (Art Institute of Dallas) and the men
on their website are also gay-looking (not that there is anything wrong with that!)

Hey, it's a really great school :) I loved going there. The teachers and staff
are all so professional and awesome. Most of them are also 'real life' art directors or people who work and do awesome things in the industry, so they really prepare you for real life experience.

Thank you Lawra!

..and hey, it's ok sometimes to go to college and do something that is completely un-related to what you studied!
 
didnt read all now. but i kind of agree that people giving professors much shit are normally quite retarded themselves. if you want to know how profs are just ask people from higher semester of which you know that they are not total failures and stuff...
