A while ago, we reported the development and implementation of columbiaclasses.com, a new way to rate and search for classes. But have no fear, traditionalists! CULPA, the original professor-rating site, has come into the 21st Century with a new and spiffy website that might actually work when you need it! Bwog is giving you a brief tour of the site for quick acclimation.

on “Having Your Cake” Has a Whole New Meaning on Last Chance to Live and Learn
I’ve been missing a green notebook for my Evolutionary Basis of Human Behavior (EEEBW4010) class since Feb. 7th. It should have the name Kimberly Young written inside. It was last seen in the Schapiro computer lab. If found, please contact kty2102@columbia.edu
The purse has large red circles on it, and contained an ID card, keys, wallet, pink headphones, Metrocard, and other important things. Last seen in Schermerhorn 614. If found, please contact rdc2125@barnard.edu
Hi, I’m missing a black LL Bean Backpack, last seen in the lounge of Broadway 12 during the Super Bowl. It’s black, with the initials “BCB,” embossed in grey. It contains an Apple laptop and several important books. If found, contact bcb2131@columbia.edu.
I lost a Lion Laundry bag full of gym items. Contact sac2171.
Black puffy coat with two layers and Burberry plaid pattern on lining. Last seen at Lerner Party Space during Black Students Organization (BSO) party on January 20. Please contact jyc2130@columbia.edu if found. Reward offered.
Yellowish ivory scarf with a lot of print on it. Most likely to be found at 504 Diana or LRC SIPA. If found then you shall be rewarded with my eternal gratitude. Contact: an2503@barnard.edu
Last seen in the Hartley computer lab at around 9 am, on 1/30/12. No case; no password; background is a generic picture of a rower on a lake. About 2 years old and showing its wear. Contact: etp2109.
Last seen at Il Cibreo on January 19 around 1am. It’s beige cashmere with unique colors which complete the original burberry pattern. If you took it by accident please contact aln2133@columbia.edu. If you took it because you like it, not cool.
I lost my umbrella today in Schermerhorn 612. I had class until 12:15, went back tonight around 6 pm, and it was gone. It is Paris themed, so it has the eiffel tower, arc du trimpuh etc. Email lgg2110@barnard.edu.Thanks!
good lord that is an ugly website. and not good ugly either.
I checked it out– it’s actually pretty good! good job culpa webmasters. I can’t believe some form of technology in Columbia will actually function successfully. Miracles!
more students post to that site?
It’s pretty culpa-cated!
fuck you. Nobody wanted you here even when the puns were good, and that was an AWFUL one.
Cheesy puns could elicit more hatred than a simple pained groan. =/
more students post to that site?
go fuck yourself!
They’ve now moved from 1990 design to 1999 design!
I still prefer columbiaclasses.com, mainly for the schedule builder. I won’t go back to culpa till they can do that.
how can anyone prefer columbiaclasses yet—they dont have any reviews
Hot damn, 16,000 reviews?!?
CULPA!
i personally don’t care what anyone else says… i have had SO many good classes because of CULPA. i love it!
if you don’t care what other people say, then don’t read culpa
wow. good job. this is actually very well organized. and having already graduated, i can honestly say that culpa’s responsible for at least part of my very high gpa.
glad to see that someone uses CULPA for the only real purpose that it serves: to find the easiest classes with the least amount of work!
Seriously, if you were at all interested in learning something substantial, you would be able to find good classes to take by yourself.
Hopefully this newer design and press about CULPA leads more Columbia students to review their professors. A lot of people don’t take the time to review their professors and help their classmates out. Please continue to review!!!
there’s been too much change this year.
No objections to trashing those who want easy classes, but there are some truly awful teachers at Columbia that should be avoided at all costs. I just wish more people in engineering would post reviews.
Pls read this comment.
I notice that you have removed, under each review, the vote that asks “how many people find this review useful” & “how many people find this review useful”. Please bring them back! That is what I use to gauge the credibility of a review.
*how many people agree with this review
I hardly see how you could have considered those to be reliable gauges. It’s an anonymous review site! Anyone could have rigged those polls easily. Posting false/repeat reviews is much harder because of the orders of magnitude more time required.
I can tell you that few people thus far have tried to ‘rig’ the culpa voting. that is pointless sabotage. However, I could be wrong; maybe your class will be the first.
Having spent 3.5 years here already, I will say that those stats have been very reliable in predicting the accuracy of a culpa review.
very nice markup.
Thank you :). How do you mean exactly?
just very crisp and clean html (refreshing contrast to what Bwog looks like under the hood)
it should ask for an email address when a review is submitted, then spam everyone a few weeks before class selection season.
it would be really nice to have reviews for new professors/gsis whom have a first class in progress and an upcoming section in the spring.
that said, the culpa guys and the columbia classes guys should work together. having two competing review databases is a disservice to everyone.
bring back “how many agree”
