Students use Rate My Professors to select classes
Many Elon University students, like college students across the country, use a website called Rate My Professors when selecting their classes. Rate My Professors has become popular by providing an online forum for students to rate their teachers on several factors. The overall score, which students pay attention to the most, is an average. Freshman Cal Dougherty said that for the most part, the ratings lined up. “There were certainly some that seemed unnecessarily low, but I think that’s just because students personally have bad experiences with certain professors,” he said. But not all students use Rate My Professors when selecting classes. “I have never used Rate My Professors,” said freshman Sara Carlson.
