My MLS is __________ has drawn on the successes and failures of the following two student-feedback models, and considers them to be competition for our target audience:

RateMyProfessors.com, a predecessor of My MLS is __________, describes itself as "the Internet's largest listing of collegiate professor ratings" and boasts several millions reviews. However, Pratt SILS students are not able to take advantage of this service, as professors from said program are not featured. My MLS is __________ is not only the Pratt SILS answer to the professor-ranking void left by RateMyProfessors.com, it also works in concert with additional resources to provide students with section availability and course content, thereby becoming an all-inclusive "one-stop-shop" model resource for course registration. Nevertheless, RateMyProfessors.com has been online for over ten years and has accrued popularity among many million students over this time; given the site's ability to reach a much larger audience, My MLS is __________ must take advantage of the fact that regardless of how much exposure our competitor may have, only our site can fulfill the needs of our fellow students.

Although Pratt SILS has had a student evaluation system in place for quite some time, the evaluations are only available in print and at the library. Given the popularity of RateMyProfessor.com, and the tendency towards digitization in most aspects of the SILS program, My MLS is __________ is the natural evolution of an antiquated system. The website enables multiple students to consult the same professor evaluations at the same time, remotely and at any hour, and perhaps most importantly, provides a forum where no comments are censored or excluded. Comments can be added at any point during or after the student's enrollment in the course, and are stored in the archives of the site indefinitely.
