Your Chance to Grade Your Professors & Courses

BOSTON--(COLLEGIATE PRESSWIRE)--Dec. 5, 2005--As the end of the term approaches, take a mental break from studying and grade your professors and courses. Capture and summarize the experience while it is still fresh. By contributing reviews and ratings you are helping all students, including yourself, make better course and professor decisions.

CourseReviews helps students choose their courses and professors. They recently launched a new and enhanced version of their highly acclaimed web site https://www.CourseReviews.com, formerly known as TeacherReviews.

The reviews are anonymous, so students are frank and direct in their assessments. Millions of students have used CourseReviews as their guide and preferred location for creating reviews and ratings that are actually helpful for making decisions about courses and professors.

Rachel Gehner, a senior at Truman State University, says, ''A friend of mine told me about the best professor he ever had. I checked out Prof. Brent Orton on CourseReviews where I learned a ton about the course and found that other students agreed. Taking his course was one of my best experiences ever.''

The information that students are providing and the additional tools provided by CourseReviews support a new level of interaction between professors and students. Professors gain helpful insight from the reviews, enabling them to understand issues and to address them and improve their courses.

The site was started by University of Maryland alumni Dylan Greene during his senior year because he had a great professor that he wanted everyone to know about. After several years as a part time project, working on CourseReviews is now Dylan`s full time job. CourseReviews has become a combined effort of students and alumni from universities across the nation, including San Francisco State University, University of Maryland, Purdue, George Mason, and others.

Dylan Greene says, ''My goal in the beginning, and to this day, has been to leverage the power of the Internet to build a free course and professor review and rating platform that everyone can access to create and read reviews for free, anywhere, any time.''

CourseReviews has been recognized for the quality of the user experience, the content and the community. The name was changed from TeacherReviews to clearly express a higher education focus.

CourseReviews serves as a trusted advisor when it comes to choosing courses and professors. This is social networking at its best, about decisions that are key to everyone given what is spent on tuition - making course and professor decisions.
