<p>Like, are people truly honest on it? Do students use it as a means of choosing a course or not? I’m curious.</p>
<p>i usually go by the ranking of the professor on ratemyprofessor and by word of mouth.</p>
<p>I think the CAS Eval Guide is better than ratemyprofessor.com, but neither are that good. People do no work, get a well-deserved B in a class, and then write things like, “Omg such an unfair grader!” on the evals when there’s really no problem with the professor.</p>
<p>I agree with missamericanpie that it’s good to go on word of mouth, so you can at least judge the trustworthiness of your source.</p>
<p>on the CAS Evaluation guide, i only look at whether the students recommend the professor. if a VERY low percentage said yes out of many of those respond, it’s probably a VERY VERY bad professor. ratemyprofessors.com is good but the comments are not always that accurate.</p>
