Professor reviews can be quite helpful to students. I use professor reviews provided by www.gradecalpoly.com and I must admit that the website has helped me tremendously. Yes, some of these reviews may be biased and reflect a student's personal opinion. However, for the most part, students tend to evaluate professors objectively in terms of grading scale, teaching style, and knowledge for the subject matter.

Students write professor reviews to help other students make an informed decision as to whether or not he/she should take a particular professor. Yes, I know students like to pick a professor whose class will be easy for them to help raise their GPA. Keep in mind that students also want a professor of good quality:1) someone who will deliver the material in a straightforward manner without making it too complex to understand and 2)someone who will help expand your knowledge and critical thinking skills. These reviews can help determine which professors are of good quality compared to those that aren't very good.
