Abstract

When students register for their classes, they often form predictions about the potential grades they will earn in the course. Factors such as RateMyProfessor scores, the class level, and the department offering the course influence these expectations. The question arises: are these just assumptions or sound projections? This project takes data from Georgia College & State University and RateMyProfessor and studies the association between the grades students earn and RateMyProfessor scores. Utilizing the software RStudio and its statistical tools, we analyzed the data collected on the courses, grades, and professor ratings. This project allows for a deeper understanding of the dynamics between student grades, scores from RateMyProfessor, and course characteristics.
