Can anyone help me? I have heard there is a database that posts bad teachers... and maybe good ones. I'm in college. Anyone now where to find this list? I heard there is a website devouted to this.

I have visited the rate my professor site and it was a negative popularity contest. It had a former professor of mine as very negative and I enjoyed his classes. He had a reputation of having high expectations for his students, but some thought he was unreasonable in the amount of work he expected.
Ask around at your school to identify which professors that are good and which ones to avoid. Find the professors that have been elected teacher of the year or have strong connections with others in their field. Most academic offices should have public files on any professor.
If you want to know how good a professor is, talk to them personally. A five minute talk with professor could give you the edge during class or if he/she was grading your test.
A database may be good for ranking a person, it does not show how good they are at their job.
Selectively chosen words can give the wrong impression about people.
Example 1: A carasimic and out going preacher and members of his church had their lives ended prematurely in 1993. This event happen a few miles from Baylor University.
Example 2: In my travels, I meet a beggar in India. She gave up all of her possessions to live with the poor. She refused to obtain a job to earn a living. Her pride kept her from accepting gifts for herself. She refused to leave the lifestyle.
David Kerish and Mother Teresa described from a different point of view.

On MySpace.com, if you belong or join, you can name the schools you attended or are attending. Below that is link to "grading the professor." Some of the grading is pretty cold. Maybe you can check this out.
