he gives great lectures, provides slides before class and recordings afterward, moves through content at a very reasonable pace, and always is open to questions. He is very kind and makes class an enjoyable and interactive experience if you want it to be one. the grade breakdown was midterm, video presentation, and final.

He is terribly boring, and goes over 10 examples per topic, without actually teaching anything, I personally would avoid like the plague. Probably my least favorite proffesor I've had at UCSB.

AMAZING. Ratner is very passionate and caring professor. The grade breakdown of this class was very intimidating because it was heavy on one midterm and the final. If you go to lectures, read the readings, and study a fair amount you should do great in this class.

Ratner is an amazing professor and genuinely cares about his students. He is so amazing, I had to come on here and write a positive review for him! His class was interesting and clear. For tests, he doesn't try to trick you. Class is graded only by a few things. He is a really awesome professor and teaches really well. Super caring & wants to help

ratner is one of the best upperdiv psych profs. lectures and exams are very straightforward in terms of material. he uses a lot of studies to explain terminology, which is helpful to understand the meaning of the term. assigns reading that is tested on exams but they're interesting so i would say j do them. highly recommend taking this class!

Loved his lectures. Pretty engaging and easy to follow. His quizzes are straight from his lectures so there's no surprises/trick questions. Grade consisted of 8 quizzes (10 points each) - online 15 minutes due every sunday. Timing can seem a little stressful but youll be fine honestly.
