Lol many of the professors with dog shit reviews both from RMP and in-house student reviews are still teaching at my school for like decades now. If they didn’t fire professors back in the day for being boring or talking a lot or being useless, I can’t imagine them doing it now due to RMP

It would be more worrying if this was “RateMyTeacher” because you’ll get a lot of “why don’t they teach us taxes?!” type students complaining and deranged parents complaining about rainbows and litter boxes. Teachers are usually not afforded the luxury of institutional protection.

I suppose one could abuse it with review bombing. I’ve never used it before so I don’t know how robust their authentication checks are. But other than that, it’s no different than having a bunch of kids complain during end of the semester surveys or spreading word of mouth. It’s just that with RMP, I can avoid wasting my time 80% of the time.

Ratemyprofessor's pretty much solely a tool for students (often to vent), pretty much zero chance of that ever happening

Our uni emails us feedback forms for all our professors at the end of every semester tho, but I think it's more for the professors to see. And you expect some people to complain, that doesn't dictate anything
