"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).
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.
In my experience, it was mostly reliable. The 1 or 2 out of 5 star professors that they got consistently were definitely the truth. But if something is 3 out of 5 star with a few bad reviews, I guess it really depends on the students experience and performance if that makes sense. Reply reply. TheHappySufferer.
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 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 ...
A professor not getting students to supervise would not mean that he could not do research. I would care more for students getting a bad supervisor than for a professor not doing a good job. Not doing a good job could also be not being supportive for less gifted students, while being great with the super smart ones.
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 ...
