Professor Ravat is literally the easiest teacher I've ever had. The midterm was exceptionally easy, and she offered 15% extra credit on the midterm since students didn't do as well as she wanted. The final was easy, and shes organized and dedicated to helping her students. The class requires bare minimum study, especially for an upper div course.

Bro I left a good review, don't take her, she's sweet but her tests r evil and everyone did so bad the average was a 50% and she still didn't curve and she said oh the test will be so easy, no it wasn't it ate me and spit me up and no curve just her “generous” 2% extra credit, don't take her unless u can teach urself EVERYTHING

Avoid going to lectures, you won't learn anything. She puts random complex formulas (slides) without properly explaining how they work. To get an A, put the lectures into gpt, ask it what formulas to memorize based on what criteria the problem gives/asks for and how to solve. She is entitled & can't teach (hence the rating) -also didn't curve.

Those who say the comments are racist and biased, there is definitely a reason why among many other professors, Uma is one of the ONLYs being rated at a low score.

Never post or claim anything about the midterm/ final average or median. She acts out being so nice and caring. The so-called extra bonus isn't really boosting anything. She is performing so hard to say "I wish you all succeed", and still making the grade as tough as possible.

Honestly I never EVER write reviews but she is such a sweetie and want to tell anyone that is thinking of her to take her. She is so caring and wants success for u, she offers EC, Online Quizes, HW that was graded easily. Yes her midterm was little hard but she understood we struggled and offered EC and modified grading. TBH people r racist & mean

i dont get the hate on here, its a hard class for sure and she has an accent, but she rlly is so caring and wants to see her students succeed. She doubled the curve for the midterm, and changed the grading system to give 2% extra credit to everyone who did the homework. RAVAT the goat

The issue is not in the way she teaches or the organization of the course, but rather the structure of tests themselves which were weighted so highly. She tries to trip you up on syntax and tests little things you can only get from memorizing things in lectures. It felt more-so like a memorization test than anything.

Good professor with fair grading criteria. Gives practice exams that are similar to the real exams. Kind lady with a real passion for teaching. Brought cookies for our class and gave them to those who participated

Great prof over all, really cares about her students well being. Talked about wanting to help students get into research and was very willing to give career advice outside of class time. You can tell teaching is her passion, and although her style isnt for everyone I think she was great. Don't understand the negative comments, it's unwarranted.
