In one way, it would be good to have ratings for courses based on their epistemologies and ideological content but in the current climate, I think it would lead to greater polarisation which would outweigh the benefits.

No, as I said in earlier threads, an objective measure is needed. Its not too hard to rate either of these & it could work for people who wanted postmodernism in their courses too.

You need data to do that. I don’t think there’s a better way to get data than letting these courses play out and see what their graduates do
