Since I am almost done with my prerequisites, I wanted to share something that I thought was fun and interesting. If you are signing up for a course, or done with a course, you can put your two cents here and rate your professor. You can see what other students have written about the professor before you take the class.
Of course we all know that some professors you just can't get away from. I thought this was an interesting site regardless.
I love this site. I've been using it as valuable source for planning my schedule for 6 years (architecture school and then pre-nursing). The ratings need to be takin with a grain of salt b/c ppl rate inconsistently from person to person and depending on their feelings when they rated them. The comments are what I look for and I write comments in return when finished with a professor. I only wish I could write more on comments b/c its hard to fully give adivice and viable information with such few wordings and instead ppl end up over-exaggerating to get their point across.
I love this site 2. Kinda find it quite accurate as far as the teacher. I just looked up my Chem teacher for Summer Session 2 and I do NOT like the reviews. Gonna make for a very LONG summer class :-(

lol me too. my current summer chem has 16/22 posters with the words "avoid him" on their comments... i'm current trying to get a different chem instructor w/ a "5" rating all around but his class sure filled up fast! i'm waiting for someone to drop his class so i can get in there atm
For a basic conversation, sure, but when the teacher can barely speak English it's hard to understand them teach on a complex subject in my experience. If they talk fast it is even worse.
I think it says something bad about the school if they would hire an instructor who could barely speak English.
Well, for the two teachers I looked up (for last semester A&P I and this summer session A&P 2)..the reviews were pretty accurate. I also think my professor from A&P I posted as a student..lol.
I may not base it solely on the reviews..but I would consider it when choosing my professors. Students have no reason to lie.
rate my prof is a great website but not always 100%..it provides great insight but asking around at school may get you better/more honest answers about the prof's
It's been 100% dead-on accurate for the three colleges I did my general ed and prereqs!
I took a developmental psych class online with a professor thinking there is no way she could be as bad as everyone said for an internet instructor. SHE WAS WORSE! I ended up digging deep and found out the instructor, a clinical psychologist with a PhD, had lied under oath, falsified records to allege child abuse in a divorce case, had been stripped of her license to practice as a PhD and demoted to psych tech! It explained SO MUCH about her behavior. Wish I'd thought to do that ahead of time-- and now I do!
I think with RMP you either love it or you hate it. For me personally it has been a life saver. The main problem with that site is that too many angry, bitter, slackers go there to dog great teachers. But for the most part if you look at the overall rating average it is still above 3.5 for the truly great teachers. It's funny when you see a teacher who has a low ease rating and a high over quality rating, and the only negative thing people can say is "her exams are hard" or "attendance is mandatory"...UGH DUH!!!
