Rating classes and/or teachers

[watersamy]

Hello everyone before I sign up for any nursing class I ususally check the teacher's out on http://www.ratemyprofessors.com I have a few friends who are also nursing students for both BNS and MSN and whenever they have options for certain classes with different instructors, they check this site as well.

Anyway, I was just wondering if any of you who are still students would mind going on this site and rating the professors at your schools for the classes you're taking or have taken. It would be such a wonderful service and a heads-up for those of us who are behind you in classes at your particular school. Teachers have different styles of teaching and any information provided would be tremendous help.

Thank you.

I stopped participating on that site when I noticed that they removed an appropriate comment. Just because the individual being rated does not like a rating or ratings, does not mean those ratings are not valid.

I understand what you mean. Its just that some teachers are terrific at teaching and others have no business teaching at all. I would like to stay away from the latter. Nursing school is expensive enough as it is.

You can't stay away from a wolf in sheep's clothing if you have no idea of their true colors. The negative experiences are not always talked about in the "general population". The rating I referred to was a 100% bull's eye, but you would not know it by the other ratings, most with the flavor of being written by the same person.

I noticed the same thing, multiple ratings with the same spelling mistakes (This teacher is grate). Another poster mentioned it in their negative review and it was removed from the site.

If someone wrote that a teacher was "grate" and it was a positive review, that right there would steer me away. Any teacher who let their students get away with such stupid spelling mistakes, and obviously give good grades despite them, is not a teacher I want. :anbd:
