Female professors are consistently rated worse (28% worse on average!) than male professors when compared to their true college evaluations.Quality ratings are really just a rating of easiness. Professors who are rated easy are also rated “awesome” and vice versa.In other words, difficult courses or courses taught by women are “awful.” If a course is easy, then the professor is “awesome.” Go figure.īefore we get to the details and supporting evidence, here is what we found. We will show that when compared to true college evaluations STEM professors (math, computer science, engineering, etc.) are rated worse than those in qualitative subjects (theater, art, humanities, etc.). We will show that when compared to true college evaluations women professors are rated worse than men in every field. We will show that ratings on Rate My Professors are likely nothing more than a “hardness” rating. In this post we dig into the numbers and we will show quantitatively that Rate My Professors is nothing more than poor students showing their disdain for the learning process. That post was primarily qualitative, dealing with the unethical and irresponsible behavior of the site and its leadership.

Our first blog post on the click-bait site known as Rate My Professors was an introduction to the anti-intellectual nonsense that Rate My Professors spreads.
