Reviews of professor Raymond Tafrate

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Tafrate did a solid job with the course! There are labs every week that you can redo for full credit, and two exams along with a project that are simple and include lots of help from Dr. Tafrate. If you focus, study, and get things in on time, this course is guaranteed to go well for you. Textbook is not needed to pass!

I took research methods with him and he is extremely understanding. He isn't a crazy hard grader and he made class interesting for his students, I highly recommend taking his class.

Lectures are dumbed down, boring, and packed with excessive/unnecessary video examples. He makes class feel like a middle school level. Grades depend on two exams, weekly labs, and a final paper. Sometimes labs are done in class, so make sure to be there. Don't buy the book. Easy A as long as you understand the concepts he presents in his lectures.

Prof. Tafrate is amazing! He cares about his students and wants everyone to pass. There are 11 very simple labs and he lets you retake them until you get 100% Only 2 tests and he does jeopardy the class before to review. He is also very funny, and nice to talk to. Also there's a lot of group work in class so be prepared to make friends.
