Comment:
She teaches an online International terrorism class, and asked questions in her quizzes that weren't on the syllabus. She also is a harsh grader, and doesn't give guidelines or rubrics for her papers. The class is okay, but If I could go back I wouldn't take it.

Online book. The material is extremely helpful with understanding government and politics. I had little interaction with the professor due to the course being taught online but I found that this class was pretty easy.

Comment:
I have taken Dr. Ratan for two online courses, World Politics and Intro to global affairs. I made an A in both courses. I am taking her for politics of Islam. She is much better in an in class environment. Online course was boring, but it is an easy A if you try on the essays. She's incredible in class. She has amazing knowledge and insight.

Comment:
Professor Ratan was a tough grader. She is very unclear about her expectations for assignments. Then after you submit she gives long responses about what you forgot to include. Sometimes the articles we needed to base our papers on did not have anything to do with each other. Definitely read before taking the quizzes if you want to get a 100.

Comment:
Likes to give very shortvague instructions for homework then gives you huge elaborate critiques and many points off because you didn't discuss things that were never even mentioned in the instructions or readings. Some of the readings are interesting, but video lectures are horribly monotone and bored sounding. Not that hard, but not recommended.

Horrible teacher. Took the online version of Global Issues and I must say though I passed the class, I learned virtually nothing. Very condescending when you make a mistake on one of her papers (as if you should know what she does), yet she offers no materials or lectures to learn from other than 20 page long articles.

She uses class time to lecture and discussion. For us, she gives out study guides that cover every question on her exams....its basically verbatim to the book she has us use.

Dr. Ratan is a great teacher. If you show up and pay attention, you will do well. She is very passionate about Political Science and is able to make everything very understandable.

One of my favorite professors at ASU! she is comical and she makes everything crystal clear! She is not an easy A, but she also is not really hard! her test are typically essay...but if you have gone to class and flipped through the book you should be okay! I would def say take her if you have the chance!

Loved this class! Professor Ratan was clear and kept the material very interesting. We had daily current event topics, a few papers and three tests. The tests were hard but she was more than willing to explain the material several times. Would highly reccomend her!!

Ratan is a great teacher. Now if your wanting an easy A, this may not be for you. She is helpful if you ask, she tries to make things as clear as possible, and she prepares you for the tests....you know ahead of time what to study. She is not boring...most of the time, but you normally only have like 3 or 4 grades in her class..Id recommend her!

I also had Ratan for Global Issues. I really like her as a person, she's sweet and she'll work with you on things. Pay attention in her class NOTES ARE IMPORTANT and you HAVE to read thats what the test are based on. In bpth classes we barely had any grades and a big project (that was take home and simple) was the last thing due.
