Now you guys don’t mind.
I have strong opinions about Rate My Professor.
You don’t care if I go off on Rate My Professor?
These are real rate my professor reviews from our own?
Wow, okay.
I was the first person to write a review on my Rate My Professor page.
I checked about 9 years ago and then decided not to check again.
It’s not very complimentary.
I’m going to cry.
I’m going to weep right here.
We all know that some students love you and some students hate you and some students are
like why do we have to do assignments in this class?
Oh, this is a sweet one.
Looking for an easy A?
RUN!
That’s all caps.
Only one exclamation point.
This is a real college lever class.
L-e-v-e-r.
This is a real college lever class.
Matt Hinkley is the sexiest professor on the planet.
He’s super smart and knows how to use the twitters like a champ.
Gosh, I hope they don’t find out that I’m the one who wrote this.
The only real pluzzling…
Pluzzling?
The only real pluzzling this about him is why someone with intelligence would choose
to waste their time studying history.
I ask myself that question all the time.
This guy is the worst.
He thinks the class is easy and he is not very helpful at all.
I would never take him again.
Jk.
What the hell is JK?
Professor Noble is the best professor I have ever taken in college.
He makes the class fun and the way he teaches is perfect.
He actually inspired me to become a history teacher.
I’m sorry.
You’re going to be broke the rest of your life.
Just get use to it.
Professor Kat is beyond awesome.
She is so energetic and fun.
Obviously this is someone that has me after I’ve had my coffee, because if you see me
in the morning without my caffeine?
No no no, not the same person.
Ask anybody.
Ask anyone.
Plus, she hands out candy for right answers.
Of course I do, I have to bribe them.
Plus students, here’s a kind of a tip.
Students are so much nicer with candy.
So much nicer if you give them candy.
I kind of doubted that he was the teacher when we walked in.
He looks like he’s no older than 26.
I would wonder when this was written actually, because being a coordinator of my discipline
has aged me.
I didn’t really give him a chance, because I got scared and dropped his class on the
second day.
I’ve never seen a book that thick.
Me neither.
And I think I wrote that one, but it’s called fillers.
AKA many photos.
This class is not for slackers.
That is true.
That’s a side note.
This is definitely a class to be taken serious.
She also hates stupid questions.
There is no such thing as stupid questions, but yes I do.
O-M-G.
This was most definitely a favorite class for me.
It’s so many group discussions that you can’t help but pay attention and gain interest.
O-M-G.
I got an O-M-G that’s pretty cool.
Dusty Reasons is one of my favorite professors.
Love love love her and will be taking another course of hers.
She doesn’t let anyone get away with anything.
Miss class?
Better have documentation.
Excuses don’t fly.
Seriously.
You can’t beat her in an argument.
That’s true.
That’s totally true.
No one can beat me in an argument.
This could’ve been one of the students who had a grandmother die twice.
Same grandmother.
Died Twice.
Same semester.
Mr. Noble is the kind of teacher whose class you miss only if you’re dying.
He’s funny and extremely knowledgeable.
Made history so much wazy?
And fun to learn.
For our final, he played Highway to hell, which set us in the mood.
Well if there’s one thing I like to do, it’s get my class in the mood.
One of the few teachers I’ve had that value content of the submission more than the formatting.
That’s a pretty positive one.
I don’t know if that’s worse for my colleagues or not.
I had a really good experience with prof Morris.
He’s got a dry sense of humor.
It reminds me of grumpy cat, but that makes the lessons more entertaining.
I have more hair than grumpy cat.
I had a good experience?
See this is why I don’t like to read them.
Even the good ones make me go what do they think we did?
What did I do?
She never accepts late work.
It was crazy.
I do recommend her, but it drove me crazy how she takes so long to grade stuff.
Sigh.
Very long sigh, because that is very accurate.
I start out really good grading stuff and then not so much.
Yeah, I’m sure I drove them crazy, but they drove me crazy too.
Dr. Shazia Ali deserves to get an award for professor of the year, wow, representing Eastfield
College.
Very organized and replies e-mails fast.
You’re welcome.
Did you write that?
No.
He literally only teaches when students have questions.
The rest of the class is wasted on pointless conversation about whatever comes up.
He says don’t expect him to just teach us the information, we have to have questions.
You know, God forbid you come to class with questions when you read something you don’t
understand.
The whole point is to relate what you’re learning to the real world and that’s why
we talk about current events.
I love the vocabulary on these cards.
He’s a hoot.
And a pleasure to learn from.
His catchprases are hilarious and he’s known for his map of the United States when he lectures.
I do draw a map and it’s well done.
It’s like something between a cow and a tooth.
Yeah, it’s always a toss up.
Is it a cow or a tooth.
And I have a chili pepper.
It’s been a while.
Oh, look there’s chili peppers on top, so how exciting.
I love you students, but you do make me crazy too.
Congrats!
You were the blank male chili pepper on ratemyprofessors.com for our group of contenders.
Thanks, y’all.
Okay.
So, congrats!
You were the hottest female chili pepper on ratemyprofessors.com for our group of contenders.
Um, thank you?
We’re all looking for the chili pepper.
(off camera) Are there any pointers or advice you’d give to new students who will be reviewing
their instructors on Rate My Professor?
Yes, don’t bother.
It’s a complete waste of time.
Rate My Professor, for example, is about as reliable as yelp.
Don’t do it drunk.
It’s important to understand that you’re listening to complete strangers.
As a writing instructor, of course, we always know who says what, because we know how they
write.
So it’s like, this is anonymous.
No.
It’s totally not anonymous.
So, I like for them to actually to go in and say what they think about the class because,
you know, any publicity is good publicity kind of thing.
For better or worse, It’s good for students to have that voice.
I don’t care what you say, as long as it’s not the truth.
It’s a good tool, but you want to use it with caution and I think you should always
talk to a professor and see, because maybe they’re not as bad as some of these comments.
Come see us just to find out how we are.
Good or bad.
Don’t read this.
Yeah, I’m a hoot?
What the hell.
