WashU Professors Read Their Rate My Professor Reviews 

I think that was on purpose lmao

"They wrote that my lecture is boring? Trash!" Yeah...

A-tier comment

the gustafson is definently not a good prof. loomis, and dashy is cool and the other guy is funny

@@QemeH ten years ago.

exactly

....you can leave now lmao

hahahaha you gonna be a great dad

The definitely get the reactions from the crowd

@@D4rkDust What comes after chemistry? Biology😏

you had ONE JOB

ikr

they’re work wife/husband lol

Would you say they have a lot of... chemistry?

@@trendrekt8363 KIUYGFDGYU

@@trendrekt8363 get out xD

Chemistry is honestly not that bad, I realized how easy it was once I started to take biochemistry and organic 😭😭

Chemistry is also super fascinating, so hearing these nerds infodump would be awesome to hear imo.

Really depends on the department. When well organized and ran it is as you say, otherwise....

gustafson was that good

The subject matter isn’t too bad, but some departments absolutely suck. I’ve seen multiple chem departments in my state get investigated for discrimination because they were so unwilling to accommodate disabled students

Well that's typically why people don't do good in a class... lmfao.

@@empyreanite2294 Not necessarily

@@djsaidez271 "Typically", learn to read

@@empyreanite2294 Some students are intrinsically better at some topics than others, some students go out of their way to study outside material that the professor doesn’t bother to elaborate on, etc. It’s just as likely that the students in a low performing class that did well performed better due to things they did outside of instruction, which should never be the expectation unless specifically laid out by the professor. And I’ll gamble a million that “look up this concept on RU-vid to understand it” isn’t on a syllabus anywhere.

@@timeup2549 By that i mean that's the case less than half the time

Psssssss. Burn of the third degree.

I was in his class. He's actually a really sweet guy

​@@rustydagon598 then why didn't that sweet guy you're talking about show up for this video instead of the bitter prick who seemingly took his place?

@@rustydagon598you poor soul

I honestly kinda like the vibe he is giving off, this whole video is supposed to be fun and playful, and this guy definitely made me laugh.

💀💀💀💀💀

I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE LOL

Anthropology isn't generally the study of old stuff. Anth is the study of human

@@-Meric- shut up nerd its literally the study of shit thats often thousands of years old

@@David22092001 Are u thinking of archeology cuz anthropology is not that.

Very true! Many such cases!

How so?

@@jonesr227 I think when you constantly have a bunch of people in a room depending on you and only you, you can probably pretty easily forget your place

I’ve found that science professors typically are always super friendly (maybe because they constantly have to work with many other professors given the complex and intertwined nature of science so regularly have the same experience as students of having to learn a new high level concept from a professor giving them a lot more empathy and understanding for students) whereas social studies and fields like that where a professor can do a lot of work with minimal input from other professors can become much more prideful and condescending. An example would be that a history professor could specialise in a specific war and would not really need input from other history specialists beyond papers and research whereas a biology professor specialising in a specific protein still needs input from biochem, physics, statistics and computer science specialists to get a clear picture of the topic and perform experiments with advanced equipment. Obviously, pretty much all professors should have a deep passion for what they research and the main differentiator between a good and a bad professor is typically if they teach because they want to spread their passion or if they teach because the university/college requires it in exchange for using the university’s facilities and resources. I think its really obvious even with only a few classes to tell if a professor is the former or the latter.

@@cahan557 I’m a Mech-E and had a lot of science teachers due to the nature of engineering, and I completely agree. Just about all of my teachers were insanely friendly. They had there standards that you had to comply with, but they were fantastic.

You could say they have.... Good chemistry

I’m sure it’s all fucking, awesome!

That's very sad,

same lmao, he still had a 2.5 average tho lol

There’s a professor at my school who’s rated 1.9. Multiple students said he wrote some of the reviews lol.

Spoiler alert: He doesn't.

Love how the anthropologist said “that’s so old it doesn’t even matter” to something written in 2011 Probably a little tongue in cheek but he is definitely a tool

@@SpacemanSpiff1715isn't that like 11 years ago tho

@@SpacemanSpiff1715 Missing context may be that the course is not offered anymore so the feedback may not generalize to the layout of his new courses. Or, he may not even remember how he taught the course in 2011 so the criticism may not really point out things that he could change to be a better professor. IMO I feel he is doing a bit for the video over everything else, but that is just my take.

@@mansamusa8191 which shouldn't be that long ago for an ANTHROPOLOGY professor 🤣

What’s calling somebody a tool mean? So curious

@@millioncola7367 pretty sure if someone is a tool they’re annoying and a jerk

Also wanting to know the name of the person who called him a hottie??? Idk how he’s even employed!

@@junohawthorne7658 thought it was a prostitute

@@grady_youngit’s clearly just jokes lmao

They are clearly not seeking the lowest energy level. I'm sorry too

Good one!

They certainly had the best reactions

“because we’re jobless” 😂

lol what a rating scale. 0/5 punches to the face, 5/5 punches to the face... the only difficulty with implementation would be that it's an inverse scale, so a bit unusual.

chem professors are either the most fun people or demons incarnate and there's no inbetween

I’m going to use your scale of rating people in the future.

also, feris buelers day off is a great movie so another positive for the anthro prof. that would bump him to a wouldn't punch in the face for me

Why are you judging so much? If he knows something isn't true, he knows something isn't true.

Yep. The review that said he was a tool is 100% accurate based on how he acts

sure man the good reviews were botted lmao

@@archlifts947 I didn't say that. I was sharing my opinion based on his behavior. Maybe I didn't make that clear, that's my fault. I believe that teachers who can't take criticism or are unwilling to admit where they need to grow aren't good teachers. For instance, Richard Loomis and Megan Daschbach read multiple less-than-favorable reviews, but they're both still able to admit where they may have struggled because they know they aren't always right or perfect. This shows me exactly how they behave while teaching and I'm willing to bet they are significantly more accommodating and more of their students actually like them. Overall, I may have exaggerated slightly by saying Mr. Gustafson is a bad teacher, but he still isn't a good one in my book.

@@blanky7064 I would not say 'A clearly bad teacher' the only problem he has is his pride. and pride is not enough to lable some one as bad or good its just an unwanted quailty if there is too much of it, I would say he is just too pridefull

@@archlifts947 If you read the last sentence in my reply to you I corrected myself. Out of frustration I made a big statement and I shouldn't have. And again, everything I've said is just my opinion so the idea of what is good and bad or whether things should even be labeled that way is subjective. I don't plan on having a long conversation about this, but thank you for checking me.

I know some great professors, hell even some of my own mentors when I was in grad school, who seem like complete a dicks from the outside, and maybe there is some truth to it, but as soon as you put in some work to get beyond that, you would find that they are rockstars in their field, and really care about what they teach and as a result find it personally insulting when students don't show that same level of dedication into the course and field of study. Generally, they were also no bs straight to the point people, they were not afraid of calling out students and generally had the experience to back it up. Now I would never judge someone based on one RU-vid video, but just a quick look over of his research and career tells me that he very well could be one of those people, he has the creds to back up his attitude. Not every professor is going to try to be your friend, or even care about your feelings, and some are prideful, as this is their life's work, and many students will walk all over you and your work if you let them, despite the fact that they refuse to work hard enough to succeed.

You could even say he’s sharp as a tack.

this really was my school too

It was the opposite case at my school

Its the opposite at my school

Perfect reflection on society

I was thinking the same thing.

life imitates art

Fr

I once emailed the professor a very specific question that basically boiled down to "I read the syllabus, can you clarify this part a little more?" Dude literally just hit me back with "it's in the syllabus". I hated that dude and that class. Unfortunately I ended up having three classes with him before I got my degree - hated every single one of his classes and learned nothing from him as a professor, and remember nothing from those classes at all. Still aced them though.

I have a question, is this real or comedy??

@@Bella-wp7wz This is real

good thing before I started college, my highschool told me about the rate my professor website.. and oh boy it saved me big time when selecting classes

I mean, some professors got funny reviews. Those professors just got straight up insults hurled at them (from 15 years ago, no less). I would've paid it no mind either. Be constructive, not rude.

@@jonaza2105 They said what was wrong with them, that's not what I would call "straight up insults".

@@jonaza2105 My thought exactly. It's fine for them to ignore a comment like "lecture was boring" because that comment is subjective and contains no helpful information. Helpful information looks like "use more examples based in current affairs" or "develop a slide show about topic X". Besides, they knew they were being recorded for entertainment purposes, and probably have seen this kind of review many times before.

Well the point of that comment seems to be that he has improved and so the comment is not an accurate reflection of him now, so it’s ironic that you say he has no capacity for self improvement. Also if a student misses something that is on the syllabus and then complains that they didn’t get something, that is not necessarily the professor’s fault

💀

8:54 He definitely deserved the review he wrote of himself as if he were a student.

lol

Same lmao

same goes for high school AP chem teachers. I remember Mr A and his explosions fondly.

You are not customers, you're students. If you want to be a customer go to a for-profit university and get a degree no one accepts.

​@@KoruGo You are wrong. Universities are businesses because they offer goods/services in exchange for money. Therefore, students who pay must be considered as customers/consumers.

​@@KoruGothey are customers

@@burrybondz225 That's like calling someone who has a social worker a customer

@@TrevLucas-nz6zj both are irrelevant

"Wow this review is from 2011 is almost the exact same as the ones from 2004 and 2015 I must be doing a good job" Like you'd think that if people across 10 years are giving the exact same criticism then maybe you're doing something wrong. He even went on to call their criticism trash because they called him out lmao

I'm not a chemist and I've memorized the periodic table
