Submission + - Historical Univeristy Grades
An anonymous reader writes: When I was in college, choosing professors was pretty much luck of the draw. But now it looks like it doesn't have to be: students at the University of Colorado have put together a website that takes much of the guesswork out of finding the right professors. Students can write reviews of their professors, but more importantly, they can see the grades that the professors have given in the past (apparently from data coerced out of public universities from state laws equivalent to the federal freedom of information act), and then decide who to take. Not really a new idea, but they appear to be the only ones doing it for free. Does this provide useful information to students who wish to exceed, or just make it easier for slackers to skate through college?
