Anybody, can put up ratings on these sites. I worked with somebody in grad school who wanted me to post on his profile (on my professor sucks), so his rating would look better. He ended up typing something up himself. Moreover, the MRAs could easily get pissed and go over and try to slam Hugo since it is very easy to figure out where he works. I don't think the site is a total waste of time, but I do think it shouldn't be taken too seriously. Just about every school has faculty evals, and those are much better than this. I know that my school is working to make them available to the students on line, so they can check them. Body issues aside, the bigger issue is credibility, which I think Hugo addressed fairly.

I don’t think the site is a total waste of time, but I do think it shouldn’t be taken too seriously. Just about every school has faculty evals, and those are much better than this. I know that my school is working to make them available to the students on line, so they can check them.

I've been reading Hugo's blog for some time now and I'd have to say that this characterization of Hugo by NPR is spot-on. Where have you been Dennis? Obviously NPR knows its business, so IMO they were just doing their job re. getting to the heart of the issue in the most efficient manner.

Also, the conclusion they draw on your behalf (that some of the "students" reviewing you have never met you) does not follow from the premise they stick you with (students are calling you fat, but you're really definitely not): it could also be the case that these folks are your students, but they know exactly where to twist the knife.
