The flava:Imagine a world where humans based their societal interactions on review-style ratings of other human beings. You don’t have to envision this Black Mirror episode plot because it already happens every semester on college campuses across the country.
The article in The Reveille:

So the students themselves are finally catching on to this, after all these years? Took 'em long enough.
ReplyDeleteFair play to the 18-year old who wrote it. She'll at least be able to avoid some of the mistakes many of her peers will likely make.
ReplyDeleteWhat was the name of fake Prof back in the CM / RYS days? Martin Bell, or something like that...he got rated for all kinds of courses, apparently in earnest.
Hmm, perhaps the current crop of 18-year-olds is wising up. Thank you, Greta Thunberg!
ReplyDeleteIn Greta-related news: Jeremy Clarkson (from Top Gear) is calling Greta "an idiot" in public. Umm, Jeremy, you look like a worse idiot when you punch down, which a grown man can't avoid doing when he picks on a 16-year-old.
While we're on the topic.... I was just reading my colleague's ratings. "These bad reviews are unwarranted. True, she's weirdly strict about using your phone or sleeping in class..." lmao - ok at least they like her but can you be "weirdly strict" about egregious behavior?
