Q. How do you rate?
A. There's no single number which can capture how good (or bad) a professor or course is. So we've broken down ratings into six categories (1-5, 5 is highest):
- Clarity - Is the professor clear? Does she/he present the material well?
- Helpfulness - Is the professor helpful? Does the professor answer questions? Is the professor available outside of class?
- Easiness - Lots of work? No work? Pointless work?
- Knowledge - Does the professor know what he or she is talking about? Or are they just blabbing?
- Recommended - All that being said, would you recommend taking this professor?
- Comments - Categories always leave something out. So you can comment on the professor, your overall experience and thoughts.
