Fall 2022 - Professor Ravetch is a very chill professor, always cracking jokes during class. One of the things I struggled with is his weekly assignments that had vague instructions. Since majority of your grade is dependent on your weekly excel assignments on Pearson and labs, if you miss a few points on them it could drastically affect your grade. No exams though, which was great. However, I do use a lot of the skills learned in the class in practice.
