I know I lot of you like to use "Rate my Professor" and while that is not inherently bad, I do want to encourage caution when using that resource. I use the following analogy to illustrate my point:
If you go to a restaurant and have an amazing experience - everything was cooked perfectly, brought to the table on time, the waitress/waiter was attentive, etc. - are you going to write a positive review about your experience? Perhaps, right?
If you go to a restaurant and have an okay experience - nothing spectacular, but nothing bad - are you going to write a positive review? Probably not, right?
If you go to a restaurant and have a terrible experience - the food was terrible, brought to the table cold, the waitress/waiter kept ignoring you, etc. - are you going to write a negative review about your experience? Probably, right?
It's the same thing with "Rate my Professor" - most students will only write a review if their experience in that course was terrible - and even then, it was probably related to their poor grade and nothing the professor did! Or maybe. All I say is take "Rate my Professor" with a grain of salt and know that all reviews are going to skew towards bad.
All of you should utilize, at the end of each semester, the course survey - that information is available! You can access it here: https://scsonline.oia.arizona.edu/index.php

In addition to individual appointments, Joslyn will be hosting curriculum requirement review sessions open to ALL students regardless of assigned advisor. Sessions are organized by class standing (first-years, sophomores, juniors, seniors) but open to all students.
Each review will last about 35 minutes, followed by Q&A until the scheduled end time.
Students may join at any time, but information may be missed if you join late. You are also free to leave early if needed.
These are not drop-in sessions, each session has set start times and other students will be present.
