'Rate My Professors' Success Means Being Hot, Grading Easy (Switched)

Apr 21st 2010 10:07AM Well, Rate my Professor.com or talking to other students on campus…what’s the difference? If students want to prospect a professor they are going to find out one way or the other! And besides, if it’s my money I’m paying just to have a poor learning experience from some lackluster professor I think they would deserve a little comeuppance, wouldn’t you? Hell, even layman’s logic dictates that if you buy something that has substandard performance what do you do…you do what any body with half a brain does, you complain, right!?

Aside from all of that, I don’t take what is posted on Rate my Professor.com as gospel; neither does any other student I know. If anything most people are just “reading across the board” and use it as a guide when they want to learn about the teaching proclivities of a professor. But I will say this: almost all of my professor experiences have mirrored the comments by those posted on Rate my Professor! And no, I’m not looking for the easiest instructor either; I want a good instructor which sometimes can be hard to find!
