Although I did it after taking a class UMaine, I visited a website titled: ratemyprofessors.com, to find out what fellow students may have thought about a particular class and the professor charged with the delivery of academic excellence. Unfortunately, the website really is just a place for students to vent their frustrations for having done poorly in the class, although there were a few positive reviews to keep things in perspective. I often wondered if the professor actually even cared that the critiques existed.

I remember a course where the professor was largely absent for pretty much the entire semester. She would often send a student assistant into the classroom wheeling a TV and VHS player with the intent of showing another video, which would have been fine, except when the next class arrived we would seldom go over what we watched. Yep, a lame course. However, I aced the course just the same, so I  really couldn't complain. I did get something out of it. But my some of my classmates were so cruel.

Here's a video of some professors reacting to reviews about them from ratemyprofessors.com. They do have feelings.
