College Students' Views of Teaching Practices for Early Morning and Evening Classes: An Analysis of Ratemyprofessors.com
Christopher M. Seitz; Muhsin Michael Orsini
Journal on Excellence in College Teaching, v36 n2 p89-99 2025
This study explored the ratemyprofessors.com (RMP) site for student comments about what is valued and not valued about teaching practices unique to early morning and evening classes. A total of 412 student comments regarding 153 instructors from a variety of academic disciplines were systematically retrieved from RMP and analyzed using thematic analysis. Five positive themes emerged from the data: (1) Interesting, (2) Humorous, (3) Easygoing, (4) Enthusiastic, and (5) Interactive. There were also two negative themes: (1) Boring, and (2) Attendance-oriented. The findings reflect previous studies and have several practical implications for instructors who teach classes early in the morning and in the evening.
