is rate my professor a good way to go to a new school?

Question

I based my schedule on this and picked all of my teachers with atleast a 4.0 on ease.

Answer 1

Excellent this is great now me and you will both have good teachers. I did the same thing!

Answer 2

Ease isn't the only way to rate a professor. If don't want to fail classes later on you should worry more about how well the professor teaches and less on how many classes you can skip and still get an A. Some professors are ridiculously hard and are poor teachers, these are the types that rate my professor can help you avoid. But for your own sake consider my than ease when choosing a professor.

Answer 3

Yes because I find that the ratings and comments on the site are pretty accurate, as long as there's more then a few students commenting on a prof. Your policy of taking classes based on ease I don't recommend because you setting yourself up to fail in higher senior level classes where you don't have enough variety to choose an ideal prof.

I tried using this site to pick out my courses but it doesn't work for my school, the University of Calgary, because the classes are overcrowded and you basically take what you can get. If you have a similar situation at your school, then don't bother it'll end up being a waste of time and a fat headache, otherwise GOOD LUCK!

Answer 4

Maybe. But alot a good teachers are not always posted on those sites. So your overlooking some really good teachers.

Answer 5

You can use www.syllabusrate.com in conjunction with rate my professors. That would be ideal.

Answer 6

No, because someone could be the proffesers friend and the rating could be biased.

Answer 7

Eh, sometimes it works...sometimes it doesn't. What use is an easy class if you learn absolutely nothing?

Answer 8

My sons use Pick- a-Prof they like it and find it helpful, they are seniors.

Answer 9

good
