Reasoning by example:
You want Mrs. X as your teacher? I wouldn't choose her, I have a lot of friends who have told me about how mean of a teacher she is. They say she grades really hard and unfair. I also read the reports from ratemyprofessor.com and they all say she is mean. You should not choose her as your teacher.
