It's registration time again, and finding the best classes for your lifestyle isn't always easy. Ila Mar brings us some helpful resources to find classes that are your perfect fit.

Here at Texas State there are many online options available that help you find classes to your liking before registering. One outlet that many students don't realize is available is the public access page on the Texas State website. This webpage allows students to view details about a particular class and even view instructor evaluations. Many Texas State administrators want to remind students that this resource can be better than other course rating websites.

The public access page offers professor resumes, specific course syllabi for comparing classes, and student critiques in a bar graph format for easy reading. Dr. Thorne believes that public student evaluations are more credible than ratings on other sites, because every student has to complete them.

Freshman Justin Lee, says he doesn't know many students who have used the page before, but after using it himself, he highly recommends it.

Texas State syllabi are uploaded before each semester, and evaluations are updated a few weeks after each semester ends. For Bobcat Update, I'm Ila Mar.
