"However, these ratings are never taken seriously as an evaluation of effective teaching." -- PSA for students: If you want to provide suggestions for your professors, don't phrase it like an angry performance review; the angry rant + "failing grade" some people give professors is at best cathartic for them but not likely to help anyone (including future students).
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.
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.
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.
It’s all glowing stuff profs wrote for themselves or really bad reviews from students who failed because they were terrible students. Access your school’s actual teaching evaluation results if you can. Some places make that info available and it is WAY more reliable than RMP. 8.
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 ...
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.
It is down for me. I was finally able to look up one professor on it yesterday. It is making it hard to decide my next class when I can't see reviews on professors. It's still down, but if you look up a professor's name + college name in Google their Rate My Professor page might pop up, and it works just fine. Is anyone else's rate my professor ...
Over here, we are ranking universities in something called TEF (teaching excellence framework) and handing out government support that way. This is very similar to REF (research excellence framework). Usually, there are like 20 categories and this is just a summary. RMP is highly self-selective.
This has been my experience for a while. However, if the professor has mostly positive or neutral reviews, and there's just the ocassional negative review, the professor is usually fine. The rare negative reviews are usually from disgruntled students. 31 out of 81 reviews being negative aren't too bad of odds.
