Rate My Professor (RMP) has, I think, needlessly become a source of anxiety for many instrucors. If you're unhappy with your rmp ratings, then add some of your own!
After all, a disgruntled student could load your profile with multiple bad reviews, so it's clearly unfair to have anything important depend on these ratings. So, rather than worry about RMP, have some fun with it.
Alternatively, if you'd feel more comfortable with "genuine" comments, borrow some from colleagues at other schools substituting your name for their's. Thus:
"Dr. X is a legend. It was an honor to have her as an instructor"[Borrowed from Joyce Carol Oates' RMP profile]
"If you miss Dr. X's class, you'd do well to open a vein. There's no one on earth who shoots straighter, digs deeper, and years later, I still feel her influence daily. Get your act together, and take her courses.[Borrowed from Camille Paglia's profile]
Dr. X's seminar is an experience more than a class. It's intense and relatively easy if you remember to agree with him. Worth taking just to be in the presence of such a large intellect (and ego)."[Borrowed from Harold Bloom's profile]
