One of the most amazing but yet strangely unknown things about university is a website that rates the profs. You might think there will be a lot of people banging on their profs because they got a low mark. Sure, some do but you can tell who those people are who are doing it. For most profs, there are so many ratings and comments that the general picture that emerges is pretty accurate. That's what I have found, anyway.
I look the profs up on this site every time before I choose my courses. It has saved me from taking a few classes with professors that got rated pretty badly by many students. I've been able to choose a different section of the course, or a different course altogether. Once you're in the course, there's actually valuable information about the prof to be found as well -- like if they're a hard marker, what their exams are like, if they're willing to help you on an individual basis, if they go off on tangents a lot, if they favour people who participate a lot: all the things you need to know.
Look at the website now! You'll be amazed, fascinated, and enthralled.
