Replies penguincube Posted at 8:36 pm on April 9, 2008 I usually go on after I'm in a class to see if I happen to agree with the comments for fun, but I never use it when picking classes.  It's hard enough to pick classes with a daily schedule that I like, I don't want to make it even harder by factoring in the professor into the equation, nor do I think it is a particularly good idea to go into a class with preconceived notions about how hard someone is going to be. drifting Posted at 5:40 pm on April 9, 2008 Quote: from death2fairytales at 8:13 pm on April 9, 2008 Quote: from drifting at 8:11 pm on April 9, 2008 You might want to take it into consideration.    I would NEVER rely on one source in particular. so what other sources? Well, you should try to get there and talk to some people, and you may want to ask about sitting in on a class for some of the professors you are considering. Alot of colleges and professors will be willing to accommodate new students in their search for classes/teachers.
