Rec'd w/ a technical glitch. --gw ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 4 Feb 2012 12:16:39 -0500 From: Michael Zimmer <[log in to unmask]> To: Open Lib/Info Sci Education Forum <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: RateMyProfessor.com This site has been around for quite some time, and has the same limitations of any online reputation ranking service: only those with strong opinions (up or down) tend to take the time to submit a rating, thus it can be skewed. I'd be surprised (and fight against) any department actually using it as part of tenure/performance review. -- Michael Zimmer, PhD Assistant Professor, School of Information Studies Co-Director, Center for Information Policy Research University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee e: [log in to unmask] w: www.michaelzimmer.org
