well you could do NLP on the reviews and sort it using some lexical grammar. if you're into sorting and all that.

mort importantly the ybb reviews are basically useless from a reality perspective due to the way the data is collected (gateway for letter grades) -- they never told you anything important no matter their format, and never will.

if you want to know what a professor is like you just ask around or drop in on the class during shopping period. ybb+ is not an improvement on that process.

digital equivalent of 'dropping in': coursera or open yale. digital equivalent of 'asking around' ... ? not ybb+

personally i think it would make sense to get each professor to record a video introducing themselves and the material. then skip that awkward first lecture. actual teaching video would be tops...
