Reviews of professor Jason Rancatore

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I would not voluntarily take any class that this man teaches. Very unclear as to what he actually wants in your papers. Also very snarky, when you try to answer a question, he puts you down and discourages you from participating. No bueno.

I really expected his class to be terrible after I saw his rating on here, but he was a really nice guy. The class was a little confusing but that's more of a me problem. He does a very good job of explaining concepts as much as possible, maybe even too much, and tries to make sure everyone understands and is following along.

Terrible feedback. He'll tell you one thing in his lectures then mark you down for the very thing he told you to do. He's friendly in lecture, just not good as a professor and does not teach well. Take anyone else.

He's an alright guy, and the class is pretty easy and straightforward. Your graded off of a set of 4 short papers you write throughout the semester which aren't especially difficult. If your an SIS major looking for some interesting concepts this isn't a great class, it focuses on a lot of other random topics like ethics and case studies.

very passion about what he teaches, and the assignments and easy to complete. only downside is lectures are boring but he does include a fair amount of peer work which sort of balances it out

Prof. Rancatore was a really nice guy.  There was a reading due each class but honestly you could skim them.  Only a couple of papers that were really short, and he was a lenient grader.  The content was a little hard to follow if you don't pay absolute full attention.  Also, participation is important.

Rancatore is fun and engaging. I had no interest in the topic, but he was so passionate that it was hard to not listen. It was a lot of reading, but you could get away with not reading most times. A lot of partners and small group discussions and I had a good class which made it interesting. Overall pretty solid core choice

Prof Rancatore is nice, personable, and sets clear expectations. I had him for the class you take to get academic credit for an internship and it was so easy. Just do the work, participate in class, and be real with him, and you'll be fine. He's an interesting person that cares about his students. My rating is skewed because it was a fluff class.

I wish 0/5 was an option. Truly the worst class I've ever taken, you will learn nothing. His feedback and lectures don't teach you anything you need to know. I received As in all of my other classes so I know it can't be my fault. I've rewatched all the lectures and reread all the readings at least a few times each, still wasn't enough to help me!
