Is there a special Rate my Professor for Wharton?

I was trying to find some Wharton professors at rate my professor, but none showed up. Is there a special site that Wharton students use to find this info?

I see plenty of them... You realize that the departments Marketing, Management, Statistics, Finance, Operations & Information Management, etc. are all Wharton departments, right? You also realize that Wharton is not a university... they are found with the rest of Penn's undergraduate professors

Of course I realize that. However, for whatever reason many of the professors that teach accounting, finance, stat, etc. were not listed on Rate My Professor.

Yupp, www.penncoursereview.com is the place to go to get what you seek. Unfortunately, you must be a Penn student to access it.

Thanks! For the "difficulty" category, does a score of a 4 respond to very difficult and 1 correspond to very easy, or is it the other way around?

Yes. Although, speaking from personal experience, those difficulty ratings are very unreliable.

4 is very difficult. On the homepage, you can find a link to the "old" Penn Course Review; although it has an older interface, it also logs some written reviews of courses with specific professors.

I would say that ratings on penn course review aren't very reliable UNLESS they are in 1.0s (this probably means the class is easy by anyone's standards) or if they are anything above a 3.6+ (you can bet it's going to be a hard class).
