Pick-a-Prof on its Web site
(sga.tamu.edu), which allows
students to view the breakdown
of grades in any given course by
professors from as far back
as 1985, Landgraf said
This service is free of charge,
but lacks student reviews.
“When I register for classes I
first check the grade distribution
from the SGA Web site, then
check the student reviews from
Pick-A-Prof,” said Anna Hollier,
a sophomore finance major.
According to feedback from
panels of students in focus
groups, the student reviews
posted on Pick-A-Prof are what
keep users coming back to the
site, Bragg said.
Pick-A-Prof also offers a new
service called Professor Support
System, which allows professors
to post their syllabi and biogra
phical information on the site
prior to registration. Professors
can use this feature to make their
own course evaluations.
Associate professor of
English Paula Matthews said
while the information should be
available to students, she would
have mixed feelings about par
ticipating in the Professor
Support System
“Why don't we just have this
for the University instead of on a
commercial site,” Matthews said.
Matthews said she
full disclosure of informatiom
students, admitting
looked herself up on the Pick-
Prof Web site when it fin
began. But she said the sil
would work best if every pent
in a class wrote a review.
The Pick-A-Prof servit
began as a pilot program
A&M and the University
Texas at Austin, and is now
lized on more than f
nationwide.
