"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.
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.
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.
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.
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 ...
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.
