Picking Apart Pick-A-Prof - ANDREA L. FOSTER, the Chronicle

...Students at Arlington and other colleges are increasingly seeking electronic access to their classmates' evaluations of professors. When administrators at some institutions fail to meet this demand, Pick-A-Prof often swoops in to woo student-government leaders. Other privately run Web services rate professors, but only Pick-A-Prof charges students to use its service. (Most other services raise revenue from online advertisements.) In return, Pick-A-Prof offers something other sites don't: information about professors' grading patterns, which it collects through state open-records laws.
