Reviews of professor Ellen Ratajack

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Ellen is pretty good, she's funny sometimes and gives a lot of real world examples (using sitcoms to make psych examples, etc). You HAVE to do your research participation early, spots fill fast.

I took health psych with Ellen and I really liked her class, and its structure. There are a lot of points which is really nice. Exams were not too bad at all, I would usually read over lecture notes like 3 or 4 times before and get an A. I recommend you go to class though cause she does in class participation points as well as extra credit!

Ellen is an extremely good professor. She explains the course material very well. I hardly ever read the text book. There are little online quizzes you have to complete before each exam and she uses the same questions. Never had to study. I just showed up to class and got really good test scores. Papers are kind of graded tough depending on the TA

Ellen is very good at explaining the topics in ways that are easy to understand, she also answers a lot of questions in class and is always ready to clarify a topic. She is also very relatable and makes attending lectures fun. She does have a lot of clicker questions and daily response questions, but they are helpful for exams.
