Pick-A-Prof Adds Applications to Facebook Social Network
In addition to Pick-A-Prof’s already popular Facebook affiliation, they have extended their involvement with the #1 college social network by developing two brand new applications. These applications echo services available already on Pick-A-Prof’s website, but extend their availability to all higher education campuses present on the Facebook network. “My Courses” and “Professor Ratings” allow Facebook users to plan their schedule, share information with friends, and take advantage of student written reviews.
Pick-A-Prof’s “My Courses” application allows students to add course sections to a schedule that is displayed on their Facebook profile. Future semesters can be planned out and shared with selected friends, while privacy settings allow students to choose who can see their information. As semester schedules change, each member will see how many of their friends are signed up for each course and each specific section. “My Courses” allows a student to plan their schedule with peers for studying, advice, and information sharing.
The “Professor Ratings” application is currently Facebook’s #1 professor review application. It allows students to post reviews for their professors as well as access reviews written by their peers. In addition to the reviews, there are questions that help provide even more statistical information for students looking to choose their classes for upcoming semesters. The quick rating feature helps students with little time rate a professor by simply giving them thumbs up or thumbs down.
Both brand new applications can be found under “Education” when browsed for on the Facebook Applications page. They have gained great popularity so far, and hope to familiarize even more students with Pick-A-Prof.
