It will be ridiculous if this changes anything. This RYL website has been a long time coming. It is about time lecturers were assessed as the current system does not work. Standards are not as good as they should be. If competition is ok and we must teach our children we have to try harder, then so do the 'adults' whining about being rated. If your teaching standards are fine then you shouldn't have a problem should you? As far as 'data protection' is concerned the name on screen is just a name and only relevant to those in the school so home addresses, mobile phone numbers and inside leg measurements are not provided. To the outside world the lecturer name could be Mickey Mouse, it makes no difference. This websites sole purpose is to give the lecturers that require it a kick up the bum to improve through competition with other lecturers. Peer viewpoint works, it's tough but so what, so is life! Stop whining, get on with teaching and improving!
