Tips for your first semester class registration!

What da eff is “Columbia’s anonymous professor and course rating site”?

With course registration upon us, staffers Charlotte Slovin, Charlie Bonkowsky, and Elizabeth Walker take a look at all the options…

For the first-years, transfers, and the rest of us who will be finalizing course registration in the early fall, here’s a quick guide to smart course decision-making.

After a delay in the site update, Bwog reports on CULPA’s newest plans.

CULPA, or Columbia Underground Listing of Professor Ability, has announced the launch of their website redesign. The new page is scheduled to go live on September 10.

Tis true. As one anonymous tipster so eloquently put it: CULPA IS DOWN CULPA IS DOWN CULPA IS DOWN CULPA IS DOWN CULPA IS DOWN CULPA IS DOWN CULPA IS DOWN CULPA IS DOWN CULPA IS DOWN CULPA IS DOWN CULPA IS DOWN CULPA IS DOWN CULPA IS DOWN CULPA IS DOWN CULPA IS DOWN […]

As the final week of refresh button worship SSOL registration comes to a close, Bwog pays tribute to the team that created the Columbia Underground Listing of Professor Ability (CULPA).

Columbia, let’s be a community. Let’s show the collective action problem who’s boss! Let’s rate our professors on CULPA. Don’t you see that when you review, and other people review, everybody mutually pools their experience? What…you’re not a chicken or something, right?
