Ask around at your school to identify which professors that are good and which ones to avoid. Find the professors that have been elected teacher of the year or have strong connections with others in their field. Most academic offices should have public files on any professor.

If you want to know how good a professor is, talk to them personally. A five minute talk with professor could give you the edge during class or if he/she was grading your test.

A database may be good for ranking a person, it does not show how good they are at their job.

Selectively chosen words can give the wrong impression about people.

Example 1: A carasimic and out going preacher and members of his church had their lives ended prematurely in 1993. This event happen a few miles from Baylor University.

Example 2: In my travels, I meet a beggar in India. She gave up all of her possessions to live with the poor. She refused to obtain a job to earn a living. Her pride kept her from accepting gifts for herself. She refused to leave the lifestyle.
