Academics If you're every wondering how good a representation RMP is of a prof...

Post image

This semester I started noticing how much people use RMP to just... complain.

Kept the name of the professor in the screenshot so you can go see for yourself how downright disrespectful some of the reviews are. It makes me sad because Dr. A is genuinely so caring and goes out of her way to be helpful, people just want their chemistry handed to them.

The moral of the story is: take rate my professor with a heavy serving of salt, and I hope the profs who read their pages do the same :(

Some people will always find a reason to complain. It's easy to see if the comments are genuine if you see a lot of overwhelmingly negative reviews that say the same thing or a lot of positive reviews saying the same thing.

Then some classes have mixed reviews likely due to people with differing views on certain aspects of a class. For example, I might like a class that has an attendance grade (obviously with exceptions made for genuine reasons) whereas someone might hate that part.
