Reviews of professor John Ratliff

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Professor Ratliff's class was nice. Lectures go in depth into what he wants to talk about, has online notes if you can't keep up. Sometimes goes off tangent but I didn't mind at all. He lets you have a cheat sheet to use for tests (front and back). As long as you can fit it on a paper it's game. Great guy to listen to as well as a great teacher.

Great professor! Really cares about his students and you can tell that he loves what he does and what he teaches! Graded on a few tests and two essays that are relatively easy. Understands that you have other classes so he grades on a curve. Love his lectures and videos. Talks about what is happening at the moment. Take Professor Ratliff! The best!

great teacher if you show up to class he will pass you. not much homework maybe 3/4 assignments and he curves you test grades which is awesome! I would take him again for another class

I really like his lectures. His grading is very clear. He messages the students right away. He is very specific on what he wants us to write for papers, which is really great for me. I WOULD LOVE IF HE TEACHES OTHER THAN SOCIOLOGY 100. He should teach sociology 170. Palomar needs more teacher like him

Professor Ratliff is a great man. He goes off topic a lot during lectures, but most of his stories are pretty interesting. Exam are easy... they're right off of the study guide. A good quizlet list will help you study and you'll be golden.

Class overall was easy, but I cant say I learned much. He tends to talk a lot about his experiences in Japan which can sometimes get redundant. Basically, he rambles a lot, but all you have to do is the study guide to ensure you pass the class. Was a great professor during Zoom lectures; he was really caring and understanding.
