Pretty much everything gets a review these days. It’s not just restaurants and movies anymore, but things like hospitals, pretty much every single product on the market, and of course your performance at work. We all are under scrutiny like never before.
Naturally, Rate my professor are not exempt from this. Under pressure to deliver not only practical knowledge to be used to pass courses and kick-start careers but professor ratings also includes sections like ‘hotness’ and ability to deliver classes with charm, wit, and entertainment. Failure to do so risks a scathing anonymous review on the review site ‘Rate My Professors.'
Of course, there is plenty of mischief at play on the site, and most professors do not take such trivial and funny reviews seriously. Or do they? While few would admit to it, who wouldn’t have a peek at what others had to say about them? Its human nature, particularly for the naturally curious as most academics must surely be. Even I have a look below the line now and then to check out what you guys are saying about my appalling grammar!
This professor decided to turn the tables and deal with his criticisms in the best possible way, with humor and grace. With so many keyboard warriors out there lashing out anonymously because their excessive demands weren’t met, this guy has found the blueprint for dealing with the mean things people say about you online, and it has inspired others to tell their own review stories.
