AMAZING PROF! Interesting lectures with lots of real-life experiences likes participation but makes it easy to participate. Exams are not too bad as long as you pay attention to his outlines and fill them out either during a lecture or while you're reading.

Comment:

Mr. Ravelle is a real gem at Moravian. He truly cares about his students' well-being and wants them to succeed. Classes were based on an outline he handed out, and we had to fill in the missing pieces based off what he said. There's 1 group project that was super easy and exams are 4 open-ended questions each. Definitely would take him again!

Comment:

Literally best most intelligent teacher. He knows his stuff, he's a lawyer and claims he has only lost 1 case in his life. Just study the material for exams and you will get an A. And go to class!

He's OK in class, but NEVER available to meet with students outside of class, even during office hours. It seems as though dealing with students is an inconvenience for him.

Comment:

Dr. Ravelle brings real world experiences into the classroom that make it easy to learn (and retain) the material. He's very intelligent too -almost superhuman. And while his jokes are sometimes at the expense of people in the class, they're all in fun and makes for a casual environment. By far one of the best at MoCo -whether you're in Sigma or no

Comment:

A southern gait [exuding prudence and charm] cloaks his superb legal ability.When his innate sense of the reasonable man rouses his aura switches to that of legitimate power, nigh intimidation, & cunning. Contrary to prior he avails himself to those outside sigma; but waste his time and it shall near never again be had.He teaches Law-for-Life.Well.

Comment:

Knows everything about the law! Took several of his classes-all great and he's funny/nice. Tests are all essay though and he is a tough grader. Must memorize notes and you should be ok. Doesn't use the book at all. Sometimes gets too into himself which is annoying. He also doesn't return emails ever.

Comment:

He's a good professor, but IMPOSSIBLE to meet with - even if you get "lucky" enough to have concrete plans with him he'll probably either meet with someone else over you that shows up before you do, or he won't be at his office at all. He's a tough test grader but overall if you worked in the class it'll be reflected in your final grade.

Comment:

You'll do well if you're a Sigma girl. He'll do whatever he can to be the Sigma's darling papa bear. If you're not a Sigma girl, but still a good student, I still recommend being good friends with at least one Sigma so that your name has a chance of being remembered.

Best teacher ever! I wish he taught more classes! And the person that left that bad remark is probably just doing poorly in the class bc he is the most helpful teacher at Moravian!! I highly recomend any of his classes!
