Why should students care? Students use RateMyProfessors.com as a way to learn more about their professors and classes they want to take in the future. Students need to consider that not all the ratings on RateMyProfessors.com are accurate. Some students write negative comments because of the grade they received or because they didn’t like the textbook used — not because of the professor’s teaching style.
