Yeah, so I’ve been rated and here’s my scorecard:

How about that?

My feeling about ratemyprofessors.com is a bit mixed. While I think it’s great that students feel like they can evaluate those that evaluate them, it’s been my experience that only those at either ends of a normal curve (students that *really* like you or *really* hate you) bother posting a rating. Which means that you end up with personal attacks which may be cathartic for those posting but are pretty hurtful. I mean, just writing “elitist” doesn’t really help at all. It’s just poor feedback.
