“Are the professors ready to meet the grade?" by Jonathan ZimmermanIn "Professors Are Ready to Level Up," Jonathan Zimmerman talks about Yale University's failed attempt to shut down a website created by Yale students. The website shared previous students' ratings with prospective students each professor. Students have argued that they are entitled to this information, but Yale administrators have argued that this information should not be made available to students because students do not understand the reasons for the evaluations and make poor decisions based on the misuse of For example, Zimmerman says, teachers may receive high grades because they teach effectively, but because they give higher grades. For this reason, both university administrators and professors themselves can judge their qualities better than the students themselves students need in a professor. The students themselves do not know what they need to advance. Furthermore, the website does not promote constructive discussion about what students need. Therefore it does not contribute to improving the quality of students' education. Zimmerman does not believe the website should have been shut down. However, he worries that placing too much emphasis on students' evaluations of professors could, over time, reward college teachers for being less demanding. This is not the reward system we want. We should instead reward teachers who are more demanding, because more demanding teachers probably work harder and do more to increase students' understanding. In contrast, what really happens when students have too much influence on a professor's popularity is that their grades often increase even if their performance has not improved... halfway through the paper... they are more likely to succeed in their classes with a high rating compared to those with a lower rating. This is why Yale University should not have shut down a site that helps students succeed in their classes. In conclusion, this article reports on why Yale University should not have shut down a website that allowed students to rate their professors and do extremely better in their courses. The more we find a good fit will indicate how intellectual and diplomatic the students are. But, most importantly, students should not depend or rely on the website allowing them to rate their professors before enrolling in a course, but rather study harder to achieve their goals.
