Swipe Left or Right on that Professor

Gabrielle Taylor Reporter

As the fall semester approaches some of our new students might be signing up for classes. Rate My Professors is a website where you can find reviews or make them yourself for the professors teaching at whatever university you attend. You can simply go to the website and enter the name of the school you are attending. You could also go ahead and just look up professors. You can check to see whether a professor is good or not before joining their class. This is a website that uses accounts but you don’t need one in order to leave reviews. The account costs nothing.

This tool has been helpful for several students throughout the years. You can use it to find the good professors and just try to get into classes with the professors you like using the advanced search feature when signing up for classes through Idaho State University. It is also helpful to find a general level of difficulty when it comes to how a professor teaches their classes. The reviews also contain several words or short phrases that the reviewer thought applied to the professor. Those can be a great indication about whether or not that professor is someone you can learn from.

You are also able to review professors you have had before. This can help other people who are looking for whether or not they should take a class with a professor. The review process is fairly simple and does not take much time either. You rate how well you like the teacher, then how difficult it was. You answer some yes or no questions then write the actual review. You also select three words or short phrases during the process. You just pick which three you feel fits that professor best.
