I normally catch up on my ratemyprofessors.com comments at the end of every semester. I think it's nice to know what to work on and what to keep doing. However, in one of my most recent reviews, one of my students called my class "An easy A". I can't help but be offended. I know that's a glowing review, but that's not what I'm usually known for, nor is it something I want to be known for. How do you feel about this comment? How do you feel about this site? All of my students use it when choosing classes, but I'd hate to know I'm going to get a bunch of slackers next semester because of that.
BTW, I checked out some of my FB/Bump professor buddies on there too!
Re: NBR: ratemyprofessors.com
what was the class the kid took in relation to their major? I mean some classes are easy for some people, but not easy at all for others.
DH, for example, only has to read something once and he remembers it. never had to study, and could write papers the night before and have amazing ones every time.
me, on the other hand, struggled to memorize facts and writing papers has always been like pulling teeth. get me in a practical/hands on class and I do great.

Was it an easy A because the student did what they were supposed to do? I agree that it depends on the individual student's definition of "easy".
I wouldn't worry about one reviewer that said that. Are other reviews like that as well?
Yeah, for some students, what you described is an easy A. Sounds like you have clear expectations, which is awesome!
Fingers crossed that you are not inundated with students who think an easy A means they don't have to do anything!
Usually, I can't really choose my instructors, so I use the site more to see if I actually need to buy the book and how much homework is given so I can weigh it against my other classes to determine how heavy my semester is going to be.
SCANDAL!
