Students use Rate My Professors to select classes

By Chace Blackburn

Many Elon University students, like college students across the country, use a website called Rate My Professors when selecting their classes. Rate My Professors has become popular by providing an online forum for students to rate their teachers on several factors.  The overall score, which students pay attention to the most, is an average. Freshman Cal Dougherty said that for the most part, the ratings lined up. “There were certainly some that seemed unnecessarily low, but I think that’s just because students personally have bad experiences with certain professors,” he said. But not all students use Rate My Professors when selecting classes. “I have never used Rate My Professors,” said freshman Sara Carlson.

A major part of his plan includes making the first two years of community college free for any student with a C+ average or better. By 2020, Obama hopes that the United States will once again have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world, and that community colleges will produce an additional five million of them.

45 años después de los primeros casos de VIH/SIDA reportados en Estados Unidos, la lucha contra esta enfermedad está lejos de terminar, especialmente en el sur del país. Según los datos más recientes de los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades, el sur representó el 52% de todos los diagnósticos de VIH en Estados Unidos en 2023. "Sabemos que el VIH/SIDA ha afectado de manera desproporcionada a las personas de color y a las personas LGBTQ+ de color en este país", afirmó Jeff Bennett, profesor de estudios de comunicación en la Universidad de Vanderbilt. "Hay muchas personas que viven en zonas rurales, existe desconfianza hacia los profesionales de la salud y persiste el estigma social".

"You have many people living in rural areas. You might have distrust of medical providers, you have the social stigma.”
