My Shakespeare professor started our first class off by reading the horrible, horrible reviews he got on ratemyprofessor.

He was awesome.

Interesting. So I guess the reviews were wrong then?

The reviews were pretty unfair.

"Too much reading."
Well, it's a class on Shakespeare, genius.
"He's completely obsessed with sex."
Again, it's Shakespeare. There is a LOT of sex. We're adults, quit being so squeamish.

The only really accurate review was one complaining about how the professor was unfair in expecting us to remember specific passages from plays and being able to name their speaker, but at the same time it's a college level course.

We had to memorize that kind of stuff last year in English with Macbeth, so a college leave (upper level at that right?) should require the same if not more.

Like I said, I'm sure a lot of the rates on many of the professors are incredibly biased by people who didn't do the work, didn't go to class, etc.

Many of mine say the professor hated them, but I'm sure they had a reason to if they really did.

It really wasn't bad. He gave us the passages, we just had to name the speaker. And he was funny as hell.

Sometimes the reviews are good. All of the ones I read warned me away from a particular history professor I had a couple of years ago, but it was too late. His class was the last one open. The reviews were right. :(

I didn't get a choice professor wise, I just got my classes and the profesors were already picked/assigned.

Well there were multiple classes on the same subject taught by a few different professors. I needed WestCivII. There were three different WestCivII classes.

The local collegiate branch in my city (small one at that) has like three professors for each class, too. For most, anyways..

It's pretty common, just because professors teach so many different courses and there are time conflicts.

Yeah. There was one class that was 9 hours and met once a week. Uhh. No thanks. xD But really, I doubt the professor actually keeps them that long, because they don't want to be there that long, either.

Oh good lord, I would never register for a nine hour class. I went out of my way to avoid a three hour lab. XD The longest class that I've ever taken was two hours; I took a two hour screenwriting course and a two hour psychology course.

Loved the psych course. I never minded it being a bit long.

The class I'm in is said to be 5 hours. The longest we've actually stayed is just a little over four hours, though. The earliest we've gotten out is three and a half hours early... And I'm good with getting out earlier each time :#

No, but it is similar. It is called the summer's scholar program, where you just take one class over the summer for a 4-week period and that's it.
