I looked up my dad. I didn't think he'd be on there since he only teaches 1 class a semseter, but there he was! He ends up teaching two different econmics classes, depending on what the University needs. Some of the comments:

As long as you come to class and pay attention to his methods you will do fine on the tests. He uses very simple models to explain things and the math is not too heavy at all. He likes to keep that stuff simple so that you can grasp the main concepts of international trade. He gets an A+ in my books.

Good professor and makes things look really easier. Only one thing, watch out for his tests. Some of them are fairly twisted! Take him, but pratice the practical part A LOT

Makes advanced economic theory so easy to understand.

I'm going to share the comments with him. I know at one point a former student sent him a letter saying that Dad made economics so interesting he swtiched majors.

Well, I wouldn't call him a directing genius....

I don't think it is favoritism per se, but you have one chance and one chance only to get on his good side and otherwise he really doesn't want to work with you at all.

Rick, if it helps any, I have a chaste crush on you. And I don't even know about the broad shoulders, just the Big Brain and Dry Humor.

I didn't actually read any of the professor reviews, just checked to see which professors that I had are still teaching and what color smiley face they got. Students at my stepmom's school clearly haven't discovered it yet (or the campus netnanny blocks it).

Hey, Oprah's got a rating from my school! (She guest-lectured at the business school a few times.)

Stupid eye. My next opthamologist appointment isn't for another 3 weeks, but recently I've started seeing a lot of floaters in that eye, so I gotta see someone sooner.

Taking classes with older professors is making the rating page less fun than I'd hoped. Looks like my favorite profs have retired.

This one cracked me up:

(Name)'s one of those few professors that can honestly gage students. He assigns some ridiculious assignments to challange those interested, while understanding it's not for everyone. However, you read the boring documents (that grad students don't even bother to read) and you're rewarded for it. I also, luckily, got to experience (Name)'s last drinking binge.

Though it makes me want to lecture (Name), if this was a recent student, because (Name) was supposed to lay off the vodka after his stroke a few years back.

I feel weirdly protective of my old profs.

I think it's an Evergreen thing.

Those are hilarious. I found one professor I had as an undergrad, who got good ratings and also HOT.

My favorite professor also got a Hot rating. It's true, in that sort of distracted professor way. Which I understand some people find hot. *ahem*

It's very odd. Looking up people here, I keep thinking "someone thinks he's hot??!!" Whereas when I look at my undergrad school, it's all, "how could they give him a 3.7? He was wonderful!" (And agreeing with one "maybe he was great 30 years ago" comment.)
