I used it when I was in college from 2003 to 2008.  Pretty accurate.

Use it to schedule classes as we speak.
I have found that if they hate the teacher, the go out of the way to rate, but they have to REALLY like them to give them a great rating. YMMV

Always, without fail.  

Any rating that uses poor grammar and just sounds bitchy should be disregarded.  Look at the meat of the bell curve and throw out the highs and lows, you'll usually get a pretty accurate review.

Nice!

They don't ultimately score you on how easy you are as a professor.

I used it in college.

It was pretty much essential for picking GUR's. Since I knew in advance I wouldn't be a women's studies major, it's the smart thing to do when trying to balance your real classes from the ones the University makes you take to subsidize lame departments.

I've posted a bunch of reviews there.  I noticed that some of the profs who I thought were pretty good got several poor reviews, and I suspect the reason is that the reviewer is a dumbass who wasn't able (or willing) to do the work.  However, I do think that the site is useful, and I use it to try to select classes.

Yes good indication. I was in college from 03 to 07 and it seemed accurate. Might also want to check if your school does its own survey. Mine did and that was good too.
