Venting: Sometimes I feel like I work at the TV show Community!

Your right. In the end with this specific instructor, he is known as a full timer who treats it as a part time job. I also reviewed his official evals and they were very poor. Then on top of student complaints, I lost my temper with a person who bascially told me he didn't want to do his job and administration is supporting this.

Its interesting you say that about Rate my Prof. I have had faculty say this to me for years. So I decided to put this to the test and see if this is true during the pandemic. I also administer the official college end of course evaluation system. I selected 10 low and four 10 high performing instructors. I then did an average score for the last year of official evals for these 20 instructors. I then compared these official scores to their rate my professor scores. I found that if the instructor had 15 or more reviews, then their offical eval scores would line up nicely with their rate my professor score. If they have under 15 scores, they tended to not correlate and either students with an ax to grind or review bombing skewed the results. In the end, rate my professor isn't that off in accuracy if you have over 15+ reviews.
