Reviews of professor John Ratliff

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
An Easy A, show up, participate. Will warn he does go on random tangents on his past life and experiences. He curves all exams, and lets you use a cheat sheet on exams. Super easy class, and an easy A.

His class is the best. Super easy, he curves all the exams and you can use all his notes for the cheat sheet to help you on the exams. only have 3 papers to write but he gives you feedback. He's also very easy to talk to.

He's kind and knowledgable, but his lectures are disorganized and disjointed. He jumps around between topics, so his lectures don't have a logical flow. He constantly talks about himself, his family, and his time in Japan, so many off-topic ramblings. He means well though and seems to care about every student successfully completing the course.

This is going to sound harsh, but you're really trying to fail if you don't get an A in his class. He rambles a lot (mostly about his experiences in Japan and the 70's) so you'll want to rent the textbook to get more info on the chapters. He also grades on a huge curve. Look over the study guides and you'll be fine.

Professor Ratliff is a simple but great professor. He will tell you exactly everything you need to know to pass exams. Lets you use a cheat sheet front and back for said exams. Study guides and notes are online in his website. Ratliff himself is a very nice guy, and tells many stories about his life as well as connecting things to today. Nice class

Great guy, but not the best at staying on task. As much as I loved hearing about his knowledge from over the years, I truly feel like I did not learn much in this class. It became a class that I easily wouldn't show up for because I knew I could teach myself the online lecture notes on my own.
