You’d think so right, but apparently that’s a thing from monitoring the professors subreddit

Take it with a grain of salt, some professors purposefully have colleagues boost there reviews or make fake accounts to boost there reviews. Sometimes you might see a professor with a very high score who in fact has never taught the class you are about to take and thus it ends up being a miserable experience for the both of you(happened to me). And sometimes truly god awful terrible students who don’t do anything or show up to class end up failing and posting poor reviews on it when in fact if you just do the work the professor is actually amazing and will work with you.

I really only use rmp to give myself a briefing of what to expect in course, ie if multiple reviews talk about a final paper I know to expect that.

Has definitely helped me find some really good professors though if your thorough and carefully review the profiles to make sure what your getting is accurate info

Ahh, I see, well thanks for the information, didn't know that :)

I don't spell-check Reddit posts so it is a very likely possibility I screw some stuff up when typing it out.
