Rate your professors

Wired's "Prof-Ratings Site Irks Academics" found me smirking: it's about time! The internet can really level the playing field when it comes to information. Now with ratemyprofessors.com it's easy to complain or praise teachers. Teachers will have harder time hiding behind tenure because if the students fail to sign up for bad teachers (i.e., the students avoid them), the school has to dump even the tenured professors, no?

It's things like this (or revisionism) that I love about the internet (at least the libertarian in me)....
