Think you have one of the best college professors in the country? Now you can find out if he or she made the cut! RateMyProfessors.com, the highest-trafficked U.S. college professor rating site featuring more that 8,000 schools, 15 million ratings and 1.8 million professors, has released a list to tell you which professors have earned the highest overall ratings.
On the site, students rate professors on several dimensions: clarity, helpfulness, easiness and rater interest (interest level prior to attending the class). However, a professor’s Overall Quality rating (which informs the highest rated professor list) is determined by an equal weighing of only two criteria: clarity and helpfulness. 5 is the highest rating and 1 is the lowest rating for each of the dimensions.
Here is this year’s list of the top 25 professors in the country, according to RateMyProfessors.com!
