Good teacher who made concepts seem pretty easy.

Honestly, using the textbook to learn is better than her sides. I'd recommend using the slides as review material instead. The lectures were sometimes nice, sometimes not. However, the weekly quizzes made sure concepts stuck in your head.

I took her 120B this quarter and I really like her teaching style. There is a lot of interaction in class, and questions are answered patiently to make sure everyone understands. Exams and assignments are not difficult. Go to her lecture and study, then you will get good grades.

Don't be scared by her negative comments from Reddit. Dr. Ravat is a caring and respectful professor - I can see her effort to help students learn the material. Her homework encourages me to review every week and not to binge study before the exam. That's really helpful. Her exam is of reasonable difficulty; if you did learn you'll be fine.

She took over the second half of PSTAT 10 this winter quarter. I can see that she tried her best to improve her lectures and PPT slides. Questions in the final exam were similar to those in quizzes and homework. As long as you put effort into it, an A is not difficult.

She took over for Wainwright halfway through the quarter. Her notes were not that good and sometimes made me more confused (I could have made better slides). If you self-studied a little bit the class was fine.

Honestly I did not like this class with Ravat, she took over halfway through the quarter and the contrast was obvious. I was doing well in the class all quarter and suddenly got a C on the final after feeling confident on the entire practice test.

She is not that bad, deserves a 3.

I had her for the second half of the quarter for PSTAT10. Her teaching style helped me learn a lot and her slides were clear to understand. The only negative was that the final dropped my grade quite a bit. It wasn't particularly difficult, but I think since there weren't many questions, missing even a few would result in a B.

I was way above A before the final, dropping to A- after it. Professor Ravat is making questions in the way as if she is not intended to check your understanding on the course materials but just to make your grade worse.

She is as beautiful as an angel. She is so kind that it looks like she is sent to us by god. She inspired my logical methodology and enlightened my passion for statistics. Wading through beautiful programming materials provided, I was like a curious child exploring a mysterious but fancy castle. She is the best professor that I have ever met!

This professor is decent. I had her for the second half of PSTAT 10, and thought it was pretty good. I think she put a lot of effort into improving her slides from previous quarters (refer to scores below), and her explanations were pretty good. Multiple choice tests and quizzes for coding are always a bit annoying, but they were okay overall.

I was 93% before the final exam, but after the final, I got 73% in total. Super weird final, please avoid her!!!

She knows what she's talking about, but we don't. Doesn't care about students success and is a brutally difficult grader. I would recommend Mouti instead.

She was inadequate at explaining ideas during lectures, and tried to control our collaboration on assignments when we were left confused afterwards. Her wording on quizzes/exams were tricky and I often didn't know what certain questions asked for. I knew I wasn't alone bc her class forum blew up w questions after a new topic was introduced.

I study pretty hard and am decent at coding before taking this class. But the setup of is ridiculous and you are graded on so few things, it feels like she doesn't want you to do well. It really shouldn't be this stressful. There were so many mistakes in hw and quizzes, and responses are so slow. Even announcements posted will have mistakes.

This professor does not care about her students at ALL. Some questions did not even show up on her lecture slides and you can't review past homework or quizzes for your midterm/final exam. Just don't take her class.

DO NOT TAKE HER COURSES!

The most difficult professor i ve ever had. she is always unclear about the arrangement of the class and the final is tomorrow we still havent got the assigned seat sheet. you never know the answer of homeworks and quizzes cuz the one she posted might also be wrong. AVOID pls.

Tommorow is final but: 1. Failed to mark all the worksheets, quizzes and worksheets before final 2.Still haven't confirm whether there will be short questions, or even WHEN THE FINAL TAKES PLACE, haven't post seats arrangement but insist doing so for midterm and final Worst professor I've ever met for 5 quarters in UCSB, course is easy but prof suc

She sucks. You literally can't email her or points will be taken off your assignments, she hates helping students. F this professor, f this class, f the TAs, literally just wait until someone else is teaching it. Not worth it.

Just do self-study. Don't go to lectures because lectures are of no help! She just reads ppts and rarely explains her contents. Quizzes and exams will include sth. you didn't cover in lectures. Weak connection between lectures and practical work. You'd better be quite experienced in coding to dare to take her courses as letter-graded.

This professor will assign homework that hasn't been addressed in lecture and will never be addressed in lecture, and incorporates random details from lectures that are not related to course material in quiz questions. She is not a good lecturer, so just be prepared to do almost all your learning outside of class.

This was my 2nd class with Dr. Ravat, and it was a much better experience than 120A. She is unorganized and releases too many directions for homework/projects etc. However, she cares about students' success and wants them to leave her 194CS class with the skills to do well in real-life jobs. I would recommend 194CS with her, but not 120A.
