					<description><![CDATA[I agree with both of the points you made here. The grading reputations of professors have always been passed around on campuses everywhere, so the fact that there&#039;s now &quot;hard data&quot; for students to refer to isn&#039;t exactly groundbreaking stuff.

However, you&#039;re also right that students will overwhelmingly choose profs that are known as easy graders, which might cause strict professors to react by loosening up their own requirements. I think that could deifinitely lead to a less-than-desirable situation where the course content itself takes a back seat to the kind of grade the student could reasonably expect to obtain.
