As if grades weren’t enough to make students anxious, a new website created as an answer to RateMyProfessors.com, may make some students quiver. Rateyourstudents.blogspot.com allows professors to log on and vent their daily frustrations.

And the professors’ comments about their students are often startlingly blunt and disparaging, some going so far as to tell certain students to shut up and prepare for jobs in laundromats or fast-food joints.

“I’m going to spray tartar sauce on you,” a professor in Chicago writes, “after you give me my change.”

In one post, a professor from Texas mocks the format of ratemyprofessor.com:

“[Student] MS

Hotness: 1

Intelligence: 1

Diligence: 2

“Don’t let M take your class,” it read. “She’s dumb as a polecat and works only hard enough so as to not drop off asleep in class.”

The blog, which began on Nov. 3, displays humorous rants and useful criticisms to students from about 50 posts from professors and 20 posts from students.

“And do you really have to pee slowly and deliberately twice in a fifty minute class, three times a week? Now, do you? Give us a little credit here. And if you do, for God’s sake go get that test at the health center. It’s free!” one post read.

“Wearing the mini skirt to my office hours was quite a thrill, but don’t mistake me for one of the brain-dead frat-brats you so easily seduce every weekend. This isn’t a reality show, so you still get the grade you deserve,” said another post.

The creator of the website, who asked only to be known as “The Professor” because of the sensitive nature of the content on his website, has been teaching for the past 20 years. He said he started the site for two reasons.

“I did it as a sort of joke, a kind of an attack on the hypocrisy of RateMyProfessors.com, a disingenuous site that allows wholly free and unmanaged rating of professors, listed by name, available to the public,” he said.

The Professor added there is often little basis for poor ratings about professors, whether it represents the truth or not. He also expressed disappointment with the “hotness” rating, which he said is not a reflection of how well a professor does his job.

The Professor also said he wanted to create a “public forum where professors could tell students how to succeed,” adding that he is frustrated with the poorly prepared students who do not often meet professors’ expectations.

The Professor partially attributes his site’s popularity to publicity from The Village Voice and many other papers such as the Chronicle of Higher Education, college papers and daily papers.

The Professor added that his mail went from a few comments a day to more than 250 a day.

“Faculty don’t want to admit that they check” that site, the professor says. “But I find us talking about it in the faculty lounge almost every day.”

Boston University Judaic Studies professor Michael Zank said he thinks the site is a positive way for professors to voice common concerns about teaching.

“This is something vital for our sanity as teachers, to see that others have similar problems with classroom management, maintenance of standards, separating the personal from the professional, et cetera,” Zank said.

Zank added that some of the posts are slightly outrageous, but he has an understanding for the general purpose of the site.

“College instructors are not usually trained teachers and have only minimal supervision or help in becoming better teachers,” Zank said. “Hence, the great amount of frustration and helplessness and confusion about one’s role that emerges from some of the posts on the blog.”

Zank said that although he had some training and experience before teaching at BU, it took about ten years to “develop a truly productive and professional way of managing in and out-of-classroom teaching and mentoring.”

“The Professor” said the site is not about rating students, even though there are some anonymous ratings sprinkled through the site. He added that he has received email from students who prefer their professors to exert more control over the behavior of their students.

BU School of Education junior Greg Boyd said he was disappointed with the unprofessional nature that professors conduct themselves on the site.

“I just think it’s silly because the point of ratemyprofessor.com is that the students who don’t like you will try to avoid you, but teachers never get to pick their students, so why complain about it in such a public forum?” he asked.
