If you’ve recently tried to find out what professors you should take in the spring by using the website ratemyprofessors.com and couldn’t find GW, don’t worry – it’s back. The George Washington University listing on the internet’s largest listing of collegiate professor ratings has had some problems.
Students attempting to use the website for GW and typed “George Washington University” into its search option have only found a listing for the GW Law School in its results. But, GW was actually listed under one of the options – the listing for Boston University. When clicking on the BU listing, the GW page appears with all the correct information for the university and its affiliated professors.
GW students requested for the site to change the mislabeling and it has since been corrected. The website is a common source of information for students determining what course to take. The site offers peer commentary on professors and rates them based on easiness, helpfulness, clarity, hotness and overall quality. Since 1999, the website has had more than 6.8 million student-generated ratings of over a million professors.
