Comment:
Professor Ratliff is a very nice man but does not know how to teach math. In class he would do problems wrong and the students had to correct him. His tests do not reflect what he taught in class at all. Avoid him if you can.

Good teacher, a math teacher that actually knows math! Not many of them left. Very helpful and will go over things until you understand.

Comment:
Unhelpful, very strict grader and didn't allow calculators. Only graded us on three exams and no other grades for the course. Huge amount of chapters between tests with no way to know what to expect on the exams (took it over the summer in 5 weeks). Don't take it with Ratliff, and don't take it over the summer.

this dude is a pushover for assignment deadlines, but sucks cause he is hardcore about not allowing the use of calculators... his homework is all online except for homework quizes. Tests are online too. take someone else.

Comment:
Brilliant mathematician. He's also a good instructor - very thorough and helpful. Still, the average test scores are quite low. If you're not math oriented, always show up to class, do all your homework, visit him when you're stuck, and you'll survive. Whew! This class completes my math requirements. Toodle-oo!

Mr. Ratliff cares about his students, and if you pay attention and do the homework, you will be fine. I did allright in his precalc I class, and I am not even math oriented. Additionally, I noticed that most students don't visit during office hours and wait until the last minute to ask questions. Whose fault is that?

Pretty hard class, but if you listen and take notes, it shouldnt be that bad. And if you struggle, definately go to him. He was the most helpful professor I had at BRCC.

He simply can't teach. He's a great guy if you're just shooting the breeze with him, but he can't teach. If you need to take math classes at BRCC, take Fields or Johnson.
