Student Ratings System to Affect College Coursework in the UK

Created by Matt Pasiewicz (EDUCAUSE) on September 22, 2005
The Guardian has a fairly interesting article entitled:
Universities face wake-up call from new student ratings system

It notes that the new "system based on students' experiences will force unpopular courses to improve or close."  I'd love to hear some first hand thoughts about this from any of our bloggers and/or readers in the UK.
