When students pressed a department chair for access to the faculty evaluation data, he refused (they are considered personnel information), but told them to just check Rate My Professors. (I'll note that many other universities have negotiated with the faculty unions that student evaluation data, at least the numeric stuff in the aggregate, is ...
Rate my professor is one data point. It tends to work better for gen-Ed’s and weed out classes. It’s great for first years that need aggregated info about who to avoid. It’ll tell you if a professor routinely ask the class to stay late or locks the doors 5 minutes after class start. Reading the comments is more helpful than the rating.
You can’t just go off the rating as students will rate a professor 1 just because they were strict with deadlines. However, it’s easy to tell reading the review if it’s a bad professor or bad student. One of my best professors was rated a 3.0 but the reviews mad it clear he was rated down just because his class was hard.
Yes. I think for the most part, they’re pretty accurate. One time I had a professor whose reviews were all about how disorganized her classes were… absolutely spot on. Another time a professor got stellar reviews (like 4.5 stars), the reviews only mentioned his personality.
Rate my Professor is horrendous. I've been taking college courses for some time now, but this semester was the first time I ventured to review my teachers, and I can honestly say this site sucks for what it's intended for. I always wondered why the ratings were either scathing shit talking or the highest-please-raise-my-grade praise, and now I ...
I’ve tried for my school and could never find anything. I wish they used rate my professor. I think it's illegal here in Europe. Update: There is one now, https://universify.it/. There is only internal. for the prof to read and improve.
Part of it is that RMP tends to be really terrible in terms of credibility. It is easy to game in either direction. For example, one student was frustrated with me because I told him he wasn't allowed to spam other students in the class. He systematically left a "review" for each of my classes - most of which he had not taken.
Rate my professor is a must in college. If you are in the econ, phil or stats majors, ignore the orientation shmucks. RMP will make or break your GPA. If there’s a lot of reviews very accurate like more than 5-8. 75% accurate depending on dept/teaching style.
CirKill. •. This approach makes sense, yeah. There's one particular professor at my college whose reviews are literally split down the middle; average score of 3.0, 10 reviews, 5 high ratings and 5 low ratings with 50% of students saying they'd take her again.
Felixir-the-Cat. •. Honestly, Rate My Professor is pretty accurate if you look at the evaluations as a whole as opposed to just one or two that diverge. If there are a lot of ratings for a professor, you are likely to get a more accurate picture, and can see commonalities in the feedback that are likely to be accurate.
