Rate My Professor is a student-powered platform for rating and reviewing university professors to help students make informed course decisions.
What is Rate My Professor?
Rate My Professor is a web-based platform where students anonymously rate and review professors at universities worldwide. Users input a professor's name, department, gender, and scores on criteria such as teaching quality, course difficulty, personality, student exploitation, PUA/respect, subject knowledge, and research guidance. Reviews are publicly viewable and searchable, enabling students to compare professors before enrolling. The site is independently operated (no parent company stated) and requires no account creation.
