I'll try to come up with some of my own original thoughts, but YES to this ^^^

I know they updated BlackBoard, but go to the MyMiami portal and search "grade distribution". The first link should be a PDF file with all of the grades given out in every class the previous semester. Ratemyprofessor is nice, but it can get skewed by a couple of bad apples who didn't deserve to be in that class in the first place. I always placed more trust in the average GPAs myself...
