What's your opinion on Selecting Courses ?

We don't really have different professors teaching the same courses at my college, but I think at other colleges they do. I think it's an excellent idea because students can choose whatever professor they most want to take the course from. Syllabuses will be different and they can pick whichever one they want. I wished at my school we could pick the TA section we wanted because some TAs were better than others and I'm sure it's the same with professors.

Well this seems like a good idea in theory, but not a good idea in practice. There might be one or two teachers that are rather popular, because everyone likes their teaching styles. Therefore, it is going to be packed. It is going to hard to balance everything. That option is not available where I am going to school, but it is something that is happening something these days. Yeah, its a nice thing in theory like I said. However, there will be an imbalance. The only thing would be that it might send a warning flag about teacher's who are not that good, when hardly anyone is choosing them. Of course, this might work if it is limited to students who get a certain grade point average, who get their first choice and everyone else takes what they get. This could really encourage better grades.
