-----2/07/04----- "Thank you, thank you, thank you for this wonderful website! I was a 4.0 senior before I encountered a biased teacher. This could have been avoided had I only discovered your site sooner! I think it is interesting that professors do not like this site (based on your critique page) because they think it is not right that students can post unfair messages based on personal opinions... Actually, though, I looked at the reviews of my instructors (past and present) and found all of them to be accurate. The good ones had good reviews, and those who are poor were presented as such... This site provides an excellent opportunity for students to see what they are getting into before enrolling in a class. In the past, I made enrollment decisions based on the course description in the university catalog. However, the true nature of the class is determined entirely by the instructor. One student can take a class with one instructor, a peer can take the same class with another instructor, and their experiences can be completely different... Thank you again for all the great information!"

-----1/19/04----- "Reviewum.com is a college student's best friend! I saved my self many semesters of grief by checking out my teachers before I signed up for their classes...and even after. For instance, Fall 2003 at DVC I found out that one of the teachers I was to have was extremely hard to understand due to her accent. I am a student not a translator, so I changed my class, and later found out from fellow students that it was indeed true. Because she was difficult to understand they did not get as much out of the course as I did. I owe it all to reviewum.com and the students who participate. Tell your friends about it and I assure you that they will thank you over and over. It just takes one time for this site to save your butt, for you to come back again and again. And hey if you plan on transferring to a 4 year college, like many of you (and myself) do, be sure to get reviewum.com started at your future campus before you get there. Check with the reviewum.com site admin to get more info. Thanks again to all the hard work from everyone at reviewum.com! Cheers!"

-----10/23/02----- "Hey I really like you guys site, I find it to be really user friendly!."

-----06/26/02----- "I really wanted to take some courses that weren't required in my last quarter at CSUH, but reviewum.com saved me the anguish and GPA damage of taking classes students said would be a total waste of time. What a great service, especially for CSUH, a state commuter school where word-of-mouth info doesn't usually spread very far."

-----02/28/02----- "What a wonderful website! This saves me so much time now, trying to talk to other students and asking them if they've had this professor before at CSUH and avoiding the frustration of taking a turkey prof."

-----02/09/02----- "I really love the idea of this site. I would like to thank whoever created this. This is long overdue service that you are providing. I really think it will improve the teaching standards of these teachers. I really think the days of being bullied around by a bad teacher are over. Now we will have teachers that love what they do, not do it just because they don't know what else to do. I will pass the word on to all of my class mates"

-----11/28/01----- "I actually heard about this place from one of my profs... and I think it's wonderful. There is finally a place we can rate the people who are 'teaching' us. I gave the good ones their props, and the bad ones their justs.. I only wish I could sign my name!"

-----06/20/01----- "Hi, I love your site and am a big fan of this idea. If i can help in any way, let me know."

-----04/01/01----- "THIS IS MY FIRST TIME VISITING YOUR WEB SITE, AND I ACTUALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE HARD WORK THAT YOU'VE PUT INTO THIS…I'LL MAKE SURE THAT I LET MY FRIENDS KNOW ABOUT THE WEB SITE."

-----03/08/01----- "This is a much needed, well overdue service that you're providing."

-----03/07/01----- "hey there! I don't know who you are or how you built this web site, but it is great!!! It has saved my sanity by helping my avoid terrible teachers. Thanks! I recognize and appreciate all of the hard work that has gone into this web site. THANKS!"

-----03/06/01----- "I think the site is great. I have come across two or three national teacher review web sites and came upon maybe 5 entries max for any CSUH professors. I actually considered making a few flyers to post around campus to get the word out about those, but it's much more efficient to have a site available that focuses on CSUH. Kudos! I hope plans for the site are permanent…"

We hope and expect that this service will continue to help students as well in the future as it has so far. We are grateful to those who have sent feedback and posted reviews, and strongly encourage others to do so.

If there is anything we can add or change to improve this site, please let us know via our feedback form.

Thanks for visiting us here at reviewum.com.

Sincerely,

Rob & Sean
