Wikipedia is the premier libre encyclopedia. Gobblerpedia strives to imitate its strengths and is powered by the same software. Where Wikipedia fails the Virginia Tech community, however, Gobblerpedia aims to pick up the slack. For example, not all interesting and useful campus knowledge meets Wikipedia's notability standards. We encourage such histories to be chronicled on this article collection instead.
Rate VT Teachers, Koofers

If the licensing allows it, displaying the overall ratings for teachers from these sites or writing about the average response is helpful and recommended. If you really want to write a personal comment about a teacher, feel free to use the article's discussion page.
