Classmates app review: be among the first to rate your teachers, and get tips on how to do well

Reviews

Introduction

College, University, and Trade School students are going to absolutely love this app, which provides a social platform from which to rate your teachers and communicate with your fellow students to receive hints and tips to help you perform at your very best in your given class.

The best iPad apps for Preschool (Pre-K)

I think this is a great idea for an app, and one that I wish I could have had access to back in the day. Of course, I didn't have an iPhone or iPad then so it's kind of irrelevant.

This is basically a social networking forum exclusively tailored toward students, and I think the developer has done a truly fantastic job at providing a safe and high-quality environment for those of you who are still in education to communicate and collaborate with one another.

Exchange Helpful Hints With Fellow Students

The first thing you’ll need to do to get started with Classmates is create a user account. This process involves filling in some of your specifics, as well as creating your own avatar so that other users can more easily identify you.

The best back-to-school apps for iPad

Once you’re all set up, it’s time to start naming and shaming your professors. Just kidding, do try to be nice!

If your professor isn’t currently in the system, you can create an avatar for him or her so that you can begin rating. You can also add various attributes for each professor, specifying what they specialize in, among many other things.

 

Rate Your Professors

This is great for tracking the progress of professors over multiple semesters so that you can see how their classes are conducted and how their students typically fare.

I would say that one of the more important aspects of this app is that face that you will have access to detailed information on how best to prepare for midterm and final exams. Of course, you can also pay it forward by lending a helping hand to other students who come after you.

Another cool feature enables you to add co-lecturers to courses. This is ideal for adding lecturers who only teach part of a course, thus preventing you from having to re-rate the entire course from scratch.
