Students can now grade the teachers. Did your professor make the cut? Don't get stuck with a bad apple anymore. Having a bad teacher should be a thing of the past. This site is very helpful to find out if it is worth the money and time to take a class with a specific instructor. Professors are graded on a number of criteria, primarily overall quality of teaching and level of difficulty. In addition you can select three tags as individual options as to whether she/he is heavy on textbooks, requires class participation or is maybe laid back and cool. One major option that was eliminated was the controversial hotness rating. In the past you were able to grade the instructor on attractive appearance. Sad to see it gone but maybe it's for the best.
I have seen a disgruntled student submit 3 reviews changing the wording only slightly which definite intent to harm a professor who held her accountable for late assignments, poor work and plagiarism. RateMyProfessors LLC just blindly published this misinformation. The professor does not even work at the institution under which this information is published. This is very similar to encouraging and spewing out hatred. RateMyProfessor LLC needs to be held accountable.
The site has built-in biases:
1. Bad ratings must be substantiated with examples or they get thrown out, whereas good ones never need supporting evidence. Double standards?
I know of teachers that regularly work on getting their bad reviews removed, AND some that write fake student reviews for themselves.
2. Comments about preferential treatment get thrown out. I feel that as long as I tell the truth, it should not be censored.
3. Very limited word count (max 350 characters). You can't even finish a proper story.
Other than these, I found the general depictions of professors quite spot on.
A superficial rating site that doesn't genuinely take in account the quality of the class or teacher. Example if a teacher sexual harass a student or eats in class, the site will still give high rating as long as they have the minimum of Easiness/Helpfulness/Clarity/Rater Interest. Apparently integrity is not factor at the site.
It is also easy for teacher not to take accountability. I notice teachers with consistent bad reviews over months or years seem to have them magically filter out or disappeared. This defeats the purpose of the site, or honest recommendations. This is disservice to student or really hard working teachers who earned their score.
