Marshall Hunt (ID: 000000ecb34c1c79) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/25/2018 Fantastic Plug-in. It's too bad UCSD itself doesn't have a more robust system like this. I would love to see the school have more comprehensive information on each professor (and before ratemyprofessor got into a legal battle with the owner of this plug-in that was a great resource too). If you are at UCSD and registering for classes, I highly recommend it. Good luck at school!
