Professors Reveal 46 Of The Most Entertaining Student Reviews Left About Them Online

One of my professors in air traffic control school was especially strict and ran the simulator for the air traffic control tower. A student wrote in a review, "sometimes when he is running the simulator, I wonder who is running hell.".

My dad was a prof and his best was from a guy who had missing his final exam. The guy said he walked into my dad's office 40 minutes after the exam ended and pleaded for a chance to take it anyway. Instead of making up an excuse, he decided to be honest and admit he slept through it.

Apparently my dad laughed at him, called him and idiot, then let him take it anyway, saying "*ahh, you remind me of my son...*" That's right guy, if I hadn't been such a failure, you would have failed that class. You're welcome!

My Calc 3 professor told us on the last day about some of the stuff he has read about himself. The one I remember him talking about most was:
"He is very oddly shaped and flails his arms about to try and depict 3D shapes"
His response was:
"Even though I do flail my arms, I believe I am not oddly shaped. Just look at me...this is 100% math bod right here".

Not me, but one of my writing professors would always share her favorite review she'd ever been given. "She's a good professor but I'd be able to focus more if she didn't look like a hobbit.".

My boyfriend had a review that complained about his obsession with the Romans.

He teaches Classics.

I know a high school teacher who tells all of his students to rate him on ratemyteacher, but say something 'squiddy'. He has tons of reviews like "Great class but I think I saw a tentacle hanging from his desk drawer one day...".

One semester I helped an ancient professor with some of her research. She was one of the most disorganized people I've ever met. One of her reviews nails it: "I am pretty sure that she was unaware that she is a professor. For that matter, I think she was unaware that she lives in the state of Wisconsin.".

One of my O-chem profs had "Looks like a Calvin Klein model and teaches like one too.".

Not a professor, but there's this work of art one student posted on koofers:
> [professor]'s eyebrows suit the man with a perfection rarely found in nature. They bristle from his forehead with the stubborn arrogance of a bougainvillea hedgerow, defying all attempts to question their inexorable will. Perched on his face like a pair of unusually hairy caterpillars engaged in a passionate kiss, they meet at an angle only slightly less obtuse than the man who wears them.

One of my professors has an evaluation that reads: "knowledgeable great funny. drinks two bottles of snapple per class. thirst is his only weakness"
... It's true.

TA in Calc.

Pretty much broke down to 3 different types - good reviews, bad because the class was 'too hard' or them complaining about my handwriting.

Did have one memorable one something like this:

'Does a great job teaching, I am not a math major and did well enough in his class. BUT he takes off his wedding ring before class, I'm sure in hopes that he can pick up students. I saw the tanline on his finger.'

Not married, never have been, and have never worn a ring of any kind.

My favorite professor was my Intro to Geology professor. He was an old man who had been a geologist for over 30 years. Saying he loved rocks was an understatement. Here are two real reviews from his RMP.

"Jim is clearly passionate about two things: Rocks, and teaching people about rocks!"

"Leave your cell phone in your car. Don't show up late. And be prepared to get rocked."

Another student goes on to talk about how he has a major man crush on the prof. and countless others talk about how much he ROCKS.

Not a professor, but as a TA we get semester reviews. I had a student who didn't show up once. On the 'anonymous' review, one student said, "I know I'm not passing this class, it's not PM_ME_DUCK_FACT's fault. My parents wanted me to be a doctor and are paying for my school so I had to 'try' their way. Since that didn't work out, now I can take classes I actually want.".

There was a particularly difficult class and the teacher got this review:
"Taking a class from him is like playing Russian roulette with five bullets loaded."


After taking the class, I would have to agree.

"Our keyboard harmony professor has first-hand experience in how to *Handel* a large organ.".

Coach Jusjerm is oddly knowledgeable about Harry Potter, and has strong opinions on 90's rap.

I teach college level aviation (professional pilot) courses at a local college.

"No one has ever taught me so much while making me feel so worthless and stupid, and I keep going back for more because it makes me feel good when I get something right after being told how [stupid] I am."

In his defense, he's not wrong.

Mr. X is a beautiful and intelligent human being who inspires all those around him to achieve greatness. There is nothing that compares to the opportunity one has to bask in his magnificent glory. That being said the sudden changes in facial hair can be somewhat unsettling .

My dad is a professor and is very proud of his ratemyprofessor reviews, his personal favorite that he brags about regularly includes the phrase "sometimes I feel like biting him".

My professor had a review that said " moves so little in class that a fly died on his head and it didn't fall off until he got up to walk out at the end of the day".
