| Dec 26, 2017 at 7:13 | comment | added | xLeitix | It's an interesting data point. That said, my criticism of RMP isn't that the data isn't correlated with popularity in official evaluations (I am not surprised it is - why wouldn't it be?), but that RMP reviews are often fucking unprofessional and hurtful. As a faculty member, I reserve the right to not be judged on my "hotness". Of course, the more interesting question would be whether any anonymous evaluation is correlated with actual teaching performance (this question may also be the source of the pushback you received). | |
