Headed back to school? While you've likely registered for classes and tackled your Summer reading list, the next item of concern may be your professor. You don't have to be in the dark about the ins and outs of your instructor, thanks to a little help from your peers.

A number of online resources are available to solve the mystery of your professor's personality, teaching style, and grading curve. Use these sites to your advantage when preparing for coursework and tests this Fall. At the same time, take everything you read with a grain of salt; often, negative reviews are a result of a poor grade that may not have much to do with the professor's competency.

• RateMyProfessors.com: As the largest online site for professor ratings, with over 1.7 million professors already on this site and over 7,500 schools in its database, Rate My Professors is your best bet to get the scholarly dish. The best part about this site is the range of qualities taken into account for a professor's performance: helpfulness, clarity, and, if you're interested, attractiveness. Since there are two sides to every story, the professors are allowed to rebut any ratings.
• myEdu.com: The goal of myEdu is to upgrade your entire college experience, not just that of your professors. Although you have to register to access professor ratings, the information is rather comprehensive. Recommendations include study tips, exam styles, attendance policy, as well as official school evaluations. MyEdu works closely with universities to post official course grade reports and GPAs.
• In-School Ratings Systems: If all else fails, turn to your own school for ratings and advice. Many universities have created their own online rating system, like UC Berkeley's ULoop or Cornell's CourseRank. Many students are willing offer advice to peers, rather than an anonymous outside source. Don't forget your can stop in and speak to your major advisers, the true professionals, for honest opinions and direction.

We've given you the 411 on how to buy an engagement ring and told you how much the average person spent on an engagement ring, but it's now time to tell you where to get one! Here are some websites that will help you on your savvy quest to find the perfect ring:

• Diamond Search Site: PriceScope.com is a site that lets you compare the prices of over 350,000 diamonds from retail and Internet vendors. All you need to do is type in the specifics of what you're looking for, and it'll take you to a full list of retailers, which you can filter through by city.

• Diamond Wholesalers: Internet retailers like BlueNile.com or WhiteFlash.com don't have to pay the price of having a brick and mortar store, which lowers a lot of their overhead costs. That in turns lowers your cost too!
• Brand Sites: Although you'll be paying much more for the brand, perhaps buying a ring from a well-known retailer will give you peace of mind, and you won't have to worry about the quality. Check out sites like Tiffany.com, or if you're looking for less costly options, you can also take a look at Zales.com.

>> Every time Karl Lagerfeld opens his mouth, he says something newsworthy — and now that he has his own website, he'll be that much more quotable that much faster.

The new site, Karl.com, was created mostly to sell the masstige line he designed for Net-a-Porter, and it will also host his higher-end Karl Lagerfeld Paris collection when it debuts this fall. The best non-shopping part of the site is the "World of Karl," where you can find out things like where he gets his glasses or what project he's working on next. But the most fun posts are the ones that simply quote Lagerfeld directly. A sampling of his musings, below:

On scheduling: "If someone gives me a to-do list, I say, "Thank you, this is nice." One needs things to throw in the wastebasket."

On his temper: "I know how annoying, impossible and hard to please I can be. I wouldn't recommend myself as a guest to anyone."

On where his inspiration comes from: "The best things I've done in my life, I saw them in my sleep. This is why I have a sketch book in my bed."

On cleanliness: "If you put things away in a too tidy way, then you will only find what you are looking for. You will never be surprised, nor delighted by fortuitous discoveries."

Of course, if you are a homeowner, are self-employed, or invest, simple free filings may not be for you. But curious to know the basics of popular free tax software compared? Find out the major similarities and differences between five such programs after the break.
