Columbia Tribune: Law requires posting of professor reviews
Penciling in standardized instructor reviews is an end-of-semester ritual for college students. But a new state law will give students easier access to these ratings as they register for classes.
The law requires that Missouri public colleges put at least some instructor review information directly onto their Web sites. Proponents of the idea say it will help students make informed decisions as they pick their professors.
“It’s treating the student as a consumer,” said Zora AuBuchon, general counsel and legislative liaison for the Missouri Department of Higher Education, “so that the consumer can make a good decision about what classes to take.”
