GUEST ROOM | Is Cornell Ready to Navigate the People’s Republic of China’s Political Challenges with Nuance?
|
Criticism of the Chinese government is not an insult to the Chinese student community at Cornell University, nor can acting as a mouthpiece for the Chinese Communist Party fully represent all Chinese students. These truths should be self-evident. At Cornell, the critique and resistance against the political violence of the Beijing regime never stopped.

ABOU-ALFA | We Can Do Better Than Rate My Professor
|
However, Rate My Professor reviews barely differ in their form from course evaluations, as both ask for written opinions on course and professor performance. If one student were to have written an especially poor review on Rate My Professor, the natural inference is that they would do the same for Cornell’s official course evaluations. To this effect, it is not particularly surprising that Rate My Professor shows correlation with course evaluations, considering they solicit identical forms of student feedback.
