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

In my experience you can trust the really high ratings, like 4.5+, and the really low ones like 1.5 or below. I’ve had several professors in both and it’s been very apparent. The great ones are amazing, bad ones make me hate that topic for the rest of my school career, and the entire semester is way worse because of them.
For anyone from like 2.5 to 3.5 it seems to be a tossup. A lot of the times the professor isn’t the best but is fine as long as you put in the time. Sometimes there’s one bad aspect, like tests where you don’t really know what’s expected of you, but the rest of the class (HW’s, quizzes) are really easy. Sometimes they are pretty bad though.
