Ravetch is great at teaching this class. He's terrible at being transparent with the grading though. His graders are some of the most picky, mind-numbingly inconsistent people of all time and they dock 10-15 points for the most random "mistakes" like putting a wrong shade of color. I ended the class with around a 96-97 and got an A- (needed a 98.5 for an A?!) Absolutely ridiculous downcurve
Useful class but my god the grading scale is BRUTAL. A 95% got you a B+ this quarter and an 87% was a C+... Ridiculous. Beware this class will definitely tickle your GPA in the absolute wrong direction.
Ravetch is a hilarious and engaging professor that somehow makes such a mundane topic like Excel feel exciting. However, he has a terrible power trip when it comes to grading. The grade is largely made up of 60 homework assignments that you have essentially no control over. No tests, but that's a trap. This class doesn't test you on your knowledge of excel at all, it tests you on how well you can follow directions. Don't let the past grade distributions fool you, he's made it impossible to get an A. Like genuinely, you gotta be an Excel freak if you manage an A in this class.
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.
