It began as a small project I made for someone I love after watching her struggle repeatedly to choose professors. I eventually realized the same problem affects students everywhere. What started as something for one person became something I wanted to share with everyone. Professor Matchmaker doesn't try to tell you who the “best” professor is. It helps you find the professor who may be best for you.
