Professor evaluations 2.0

An untraditional list of best professors and institutions was released this morning by marketwatch.com. Unfortunately, this ranking probably won't be taken into consideration by news magazines as they compile their issues about the best colleges across the nation. That's a shame, because I'm willing to bet that this rating system is fairly accurate.

The winners were not determined by the amount of financial aid the schools provide or the breadth of their academic programs. These top finishers were chosen by students on ratemyprofessors.com. The Web site allows the people who are actually experiencing a professor or the college to cast their vote. That sounds like a smart idea to me.

And here's the extra fun part: Marietta College has a page on this site. If you'd like to visit it and cast your vote, click here

After all, people should know the truth.
