As I read the essay I couldn't stop thinking how dry and boring it seemed. It was filled with facts but no fun. The first half of the essay is filled with description of how the web site was set up and what it looked like, down to the last little detail. Considering that the introduction to the essay told us that the site had been redesigned since this essay was written I couldn't help thinking how pointless her description was. Especially since I knew that I could easily go online and see the site for myself much quicker than I could read her essay. I kept finding myself wanting to just skip over it and move on to the next essay so that I could finish my homework faster.
The writing did become more interesting when she started to explain the rating process and just what kind of information could be found about my potential college professors. Even then it was still peppered with boring technical information that I really just didn't care about.
It was a good subject and lead to some useful information, but I think it would have been just as informative and a lot less boring if she had just said, "RateMyProfessors.com is a great website where you can find students ratings and opinions of thousands of college professors across the country. If you are interested in information on professors at your college it's a good place to start."
The essay did get me interested enough to check out the website, which I guess was the whole purpose. (No, Chelsi isn't on it, maybe we'll have to add her.)
