Write like a student, not a stranger on the internet

Reviews are meant to help the next batch of students decide whether to take a course with a specific professor. That means the useful signal is your experience of the class, teaching style, how grading felt, how difficult the material was, whether attendance mattered.

• Focus on the course, not the person.
• Be specific: "explains from examples" beats "great teacher".
• Be fair. One bad exam is a data point, not a verdict.
• Skip anything that could identify you (your section, your grade, unique classroom incidents).

We remove content that breaks the rules below, whether we notice it during moderation or you report it. We do not remove reviews just because they are negative. A low rating with a real reason is exactly the point of the site.

• Profanity, slurs, or discriminatory language of any kind.
• Accusations of criminal behavior (harassment, corruption, favoritism as bribery). Report these to your institution. They belong in a formal process, not a review.
• Personal attacks: comments on appearance, religion, family, sexuality, disability.
• Content that identifies a specific student ("the girl in the second row who…"). This makes the platform unsafe for students to write on.
• Off-topic rants, ads, spam, or content clearly not written by a student who took the course.

Reviews on Poray Kemon are opinions of anonymous students. We are a platform for those opinions. We are not the ones expressing them. We do not verify individual reviews before publishing, and one review from one student is one data point, not a judgment we endorse.

If a review breaks our rules, we remove it. If a professor believes a review is defamatory or false, they can email us and we will review the specific claim under our policy. But the platform existing does not mean we agree with any given post.

The reviews table in our database has no user_id column and no relation back to any user record. There is a separate ledger that records the fact that you reviewed a course (to prevent duplicates), but it stores no rating, no text, and shares no id with your review row. Even we cannot join the two.

We use Google sign-in only to detect duplicates; we do not store your email, and we never see it. Google itself knows you signed in, we can't defend against that, but nothing in our database can be used to link you to what you wrote.

Bangladeshi academia is small. The professor you review may one day be your recommender, a colleague, or the person on the other side of a job interview. Write things you would still stand by if the anonymity were removed, not because it can be, but because that is the standard of a real critique.
