**Professor evaluations UT’s public results**

UT posts its course evaluation results as one public list per term. [Look up a class or professor](https://utaustin.guide/ut/colleges/professor-evaluations) for its syllabi and UT’s results.

**Sources UT grade reports**

We averaged every A to F grade UT reported in BIO classes from fall 2023 to summer 2026, using UT’s grade points (A is 4.0, A- is 3.67). This is a course-grade average. A class is listed once it gave 100 grades across at least two terms.
