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 a great professor. 10B overall is not too tricky of a class, but it is statistics. Ratner is great about answering questions and his lectures are clear. He clearly wanted us to succeed.

Ratner is a really good professor and tests more than fairly. He does not record lectures so it is a really good idea to show up to class. His in-depth lectures tend to be pretty tedious and he talks real slow. I found myself having a really hard time paying attention in class. Tests are pretty easy though!

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!
