A few reasonable questions.

Can students enjoy a class that requires effort?

All time · At least 4/5 for both raw quality and difficulty

Yes. Hard class, still left a good review. Huge day for personal growth.

Sorted by adjusted quality. Enough reviews required. Nobody measured how much entered anyone’s brain.

Is Rate My Professors biased?

All time · Three eligible professors with the largest spread in quality ratings

Yes. Anonymous reviews are biased. WOW. Groundbreaking and earth-shattering.

Who gets better ratings than expected?

Rated higher than expected. Highly recommend.

Alpha is rating relative to expectations, not an official RMP score. Positive means higher than expected.

Are students just bitchier now?

No. We complain about the same amount every year. Tradition matters.

The mix of professors and courses changes every year, so this is not a controlled test of student bitchiness. Also, 2026 is partial.

What happens when Robins students encounter numbers?

Finance is the hardest part of Robins. Man, those Excel coloring books must be brutal.

Raw department averages. Student ratings, not proof that one major requires more work.

Is Robins actually easier?

All time · Robins Business vs. Gottwald Sciences

After accounting for course level and review year, Robins reviews still report lower difficulty.

Economics is excluded from Robins in both comparisons. This is an association in self-selected reviews, not a causal effect of attending a school.

The numbers say Robins is easier. They also say Jepson is harder than Gottwald. You can’t accept one and call bullshit on the other.

Do students rate harder classes lower?

All time · Descriptive review averages

Harder classes receive lower ratings. Whether that is academic judgment or post-final emotion is between us.

Each point is the average quality score for reviews at that difficulty level. It shows the pattern; it cannot prove that difficulty caused the rating.
