How does Rate My Professors verify the reviews are written by students?
We aim to verify as much of our data as possible. Considering the reality of our digital age, however, we're unable to fully confirm our users' identities, the truthfulness of their contributions, or their student or class enrollment status.
Through our Terms of Use, we do require users that post reviews to certify their student and course enrollment.
Along with our online moderation team and our commitment to review every contribution, this certification helps us identify suspicious users or posts—and ensures our confidence in the information we provide students.
