She talks fast and makes the class more difficult than it should be. She is difficult to understand as well. Get the other econ teacher.

Ms. Ramoo makes the material very hard to learn. She completely turned me off inr egards of Ecnomics. Ms. Ramoo does not seem to know how to teach, although she knows the material (she just can't explain it).

Ratha Ramoo is one of the worst teachers I have ever had! She is incredibly stubborn if she makes a mistake or if a student is confused. Avoid her classes - she is awful!!!

she is a horrible teacher who over does it on the homework and has an attitude

She is not a good teacher. I was in her class every single session, and i learned practically nothing because she uses too many abreviations, she is very boring,and she doesnt care about her students. only take this class if you know a whole lot about economics when starting her class, and can pass the tests withough being there.

She was basically the worst teacher I ever had... becuz she didn't respond 2 emails fast enough 2 help us in time... when you ask her a question, she belittles you with her answers, & she overall recommends 4 you 2 drop the class instead of being helpful and encouraging like a teacher should be!! Highly NOT recommended & stuck up!!!

Very rude and unsupportive. Did not respond to questions asked, belittled people when responding to e-mails, and pretty much continuously tried to get people to drop the class. On her online class, we had 6 hours of homework per day. It was ridiculous. I am proud of the "C" I got in that class because I busted my ass for it.

I did not like this class at all. I now hate economics becasue of this teacher I would avoid this teacher at all costs. The tests are much harder than they need to be.

This women has something to prove to the world. Very arrogent and thinks she is always right. She will belittle you if you try and question a theory. I have had some bad instructors, but never this bad. I'm suprised she's still teaching given the high drop rate in her classes. Someone in the Deans office must like her.

Took her class and it was terrible! Most dry teacher i've ever had. Take B. Koller over her!

Don't even bother to take her! Ever! She is one of the worst teachers I've had, really unhelpful and snobby. Really discouraged me to get into economics.

DO not take her class, she is arrogant, will not assist in almost everything. Requires typed work in an econ class, no partial credit given on problems you either get them or not, one problem may consist of questions a-q!! As in 1a 1b 1c, any of those wrong the whole problem is wrong. Treats you like an idiot. Write the test questions for myeconlab

This teacher is ridiculous. She talks to everyone like we are stupid. She says "are you following me" every 5 seconds. She is very arrogant and rude. She thinks she is better than everyone else. She won't answer questions if you don't understand something and she looks at you like you are stupid. She is a horrible TEACHer.

This class is absolutely ridiculous. She treats it as if it were an upper division class. There is an excessive amount of work. This is the most boring class I've ever taken in my life. I strongly recommend you do NOT take her online class.

Hard to believe teacher is still there. This was the worst class I've taken at DVC. She is a nice lady but the explanations of the material just don't make logical sense. Also, I love econ and this class was just intolerable.

Ramoo is a terrible teacher. Her online class is impossible to pass. She takes pride in making the course as difficult as possible to stroke her ego--in knowing she is a "master" of economics. I hired an MBA in Econ to tutor me, she suggested I drop and take another teacher.

Terrible professor, test questions are all trick questions, takes pride in failing students--which in turn makes her feel like an elitest. This is my last lower division class and I drive 30 mins to Las Positas to re-take. Newsflash-- measuring deadweight loss and consumer benefit applies minimally to the real world.

WOW!~ She is the worst teaher in my life. Dont even get me started! I got a good grade, but WOWWWW!! I have no words for this one. You will probably not pass if you take her. <<<<<<AVOID AT ALL COST>>>>>>>

HORRIBLE, I took this class online during the summer because it was the only way I could take it. She was completely unresponsive to questions and her grading system is so convoluted that you pretty much just need to hope that you've got a decent grade. Her tests are badly written, the material sometimes isn't even in the text or the lecture notes.

Id recommend taking a course taught by another professor. Her lectures are awful/boring and she is very snobby. not to mention she has one of the most annoying accents i have ever heard in my life. She is also very reluctant to help students and will not take time to explain things in class if a student needs help understanding.

FYI Ramoo is an Indian lady that's about 4'8". She speaks with an accent that distracts me and I feel she is a snob. She shoots you down if you ask what she thinks is a dumb question and she uses unnecessarily big words to describe things that are actually simple, leaving you in a whirlwind of confusion and anger. "Can you undastand?"

Ramoo is probably my least favorite person in the entire galactical universe. I got a good grade in the class, so to those people giving her a good review and thinking youre too legit to quit....youre not and you should acknowledge that she is not helpful, not clear, and is a horrible teacher. take the class if you want to hate your life

I've had some bad teachers at Dvc in my day, however, she is by far the worst. The class is basically taught by Aplia(the online course you must purchase for 90$) not her, and homework has little or no relation to the tests that you take online and in class. Do yourself a favor... do not take this course if you enjoy occasional free time.

Along with everybody else here I agree that this is one of the worst teachers I've ever had. How she is still teaching is beyond me. She doesn't explain the material well or actually teach(the online course does that), acts arrogant and demeans students with her attitude and has extremely hard tests and quizzes that don't reflect what's in the HW

Shoddy! Inflexible test days, vague/poorly written workbook and test questions (another econ teacher who helped me got 3 out of 5 questions wrong), and Ms. Ramoo's defensiveness led to my "above and beyond effort" for a grade of B, and an almost defeated purpose of taking a class online. Ms. Ramoo's answers made me stop asking questions.

I have rated a professor before but Ms. Ramoo is such a bad teacher I had to do it. I have been a straight A student throughout my life, always known my subjects and got awesome result at very difficult classes. Yet Ramoo confused me, gave me wrong definitions, and made the test extremely hard. Not worth the time or the money at all.

Until Ramoo I have maintained a 4.0 GPA. Not because I take easy classes, but because I am dedicated to studying, learning the material, and succeeding. However this class derailed me. I put all my effort into this class, and did alright on home works and pre-tests, but actuall tests were nothing like the prep. I seriously regret this course.

Hybrid course. This professor was not helpful whatsoever. Her mandatory "study guide" that she put together was beyond atrocious. Chapters did not correlate with the book, and the pages weren't in order. $40 for a non-study guide. Ridiculous! Work the Pearson study plan and download the publisher's study guide for free with book/code purchase.

Terrible! Don't take her, especially online! You can get through the HW, struggling and it's graded based off of accuracy! HW is 40-50 questions a night! She doesn't even bother to post any of her own materials or lectures! Tests are extremely hard and don't correlate with the book! I basically learned nothing...

I'm usually a 3.5-4.0 student and I did not pass this class. I took an online class and everything was through the Aplia site. The main book and the actual testshomework don't match up. Get ready to do a lot of independent research! I spent hours on the material and still didn't pass. And not a single lecture from the teacher the entire semester.

WORST professor ever. She forgot the first test was password protected, didn't fix until 3pm (due at 11) Last test she forgot to even upload until 1pm. Test material not from book. Class AVERAGE test score was around 60%. Disorganized, yet chided students for not being responsible. Not helpful at all, if you can even get her to respond. STAY AWAY.

Taking this class will ruin your GPA!! The tests are ridiculously too short, class average was low and still not curve. Project in online was never works out well. Hard grader, a ton of homework. She is smart yet expects you to know everything, even material not in the book. Tests and hw have material not in the book. I wouldn't recommend!

Worst professor I have ever experienced or heard of. The one positive: she's quick to respond to emails, but her responses are extremely rude and unprofessional. Class averages on assignments/ tests are in the failing range, yet she won't curve, stating "you clearly all need to work harder." NO respect for students, extremely unhelpful. STAY AWAY!!

Absolutely garbage teacher. Online means it's basically self taught with her. Feedback and grading on the group project was a 180 degree contradiction from the instructions, so you fail the project no matter what you do. Tests are very hard. She makes it nearly impossible to pass and is very rude if you ask for help. Took everything I had for a C

I took both of her econ classes at the same time and her micro class is easier than macro. The midterms are extremely difficult and it's important to have your textbook handy. Try to avoid her class

Took her class because I needed it. I would take her again. Worst instructor I have had.

This instructor is incredibly dismissive, abrasive, and rude to her students. I'm an adult going back to college to learn and would like to be treated as an adult not a nuisance that is below her level of intelligence.

You have to be familiar with the content, or you won't pass. Its ALL self-taught. There's two assignments/week and lots of self-studying inbetween. If you are good at econ and decently know the stuff, take the class. All she does is summarize a chapter in one email to you. P.S. Dont buy her book.

Took her online Econ course this fall semester and I wish I had dropped. Incredibly difficult. SO MUCH HOMEWORK! 2 assignments due each week, Pearson online homework was 70-80 questions per assignment! She expects too much of her students. She did respond to my emails promptly, though. Look forward to retaking the course w/ a different prof.

Prepare to teach yourself the entire class. No lectures, No Notes, No guidance on problems. Emails you about your lack of knowledge & what to do this week. When the class average is 60% you know the instructor lacks support and concern. Depends on Aplia to provide materials. Exams notes are irrelevant. Too many questions each exam. 30hrs a weekB

Worst Educator ever!! Words to describe her: arrogant, condescending, rude, uncommunicative, unhelpful, disrespectful, unreasonable, rigid. I'm not sure why she "teaches", it is clearly not her strength. Anything you learn you'll have to teach yourself, she doesn't help. Stay away from this Professor!!

This class is going terribly. I am a 1/4 of the way through the semester and this is by far the hardest class I've taken, MIND YOU I'VE GONE TO SFSU as well! She has homework due on Wednesday's and Sunday's. If you don't have the textbook you won't pass at all, just cause you have to teach yourself everything. Lecture notes textbook glossary

One month into the semester & I regret taking her class. I am a full time at a university as well & the amount of work she assigns surpasses those courses collectively! HW is due 2x's per/ week and can take up to 4 hours to do the reading and answer questions. Avoid her if you can. She is rude & doesn't teach at all & expects you to know everything

Despite taking her online, from the few times I emailed her with questions, she was incredibly rude. The thing that plummeted my grade the most this semester was her group discussions. I got a C and F on the 2 we had. She has extra credit opportunities that can raise your grade 3%. The online homework and reading takes forever, but it's doable.

2 chapters due every week, 30-90 questions p/learnsmart ex 50-80 homework questions. Material not based in online book, emails only for class averages and how we need to work harder. Doesnt teach, class all self-taught. Heavy workload for those taking harder classes and/or working. Heavy grades on test/homework, basically like a pass or fail class

Very disappointed by this teacher. She offers little in the way of teaching and a lot in rude criticism of her students. She comes across as very unprofessional and seems to have little understanding of how to respect her students. I'd stay away, there are many better Econ teachers and many better online teachers.

Her class was extremely hard, there's so much reading even after reading its not clear. You'll have to take that class on its own to have time to do all. Average grade received on Exams are a D, wonder why.

This class is a horrible. We have gone from 40 students to 22 and the semester is about halfway through. The class average for our exams was a D, got a very rude reply when giving feedback she ASKED for. All of her classes clearly have low exam averages and high dropped rates but she takes no responsibility. I haven't dropped a class until now.

PLEASE JUST AVOID THIS CLASS. I cursed every single time I took quizzes and exams. Each quiz and exam contains more than 60 questions. hard as hell.

I can't even begin to express my frustration with this professor and her online class. Shes another example of a low-effort, copy-paste online prof who does little to suplement the McGraw-Hill content that she's sent. The homework is labor-intensive, tests are confusingly worded, and her feedback is almost negative in tone. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

I am taking her online micro class this semester and it's been a horrible experience. Keep in mind this is an online, CC level 200 class and she treats it like this is the most important class in the world and you need to dedicate at least 12 per week. The class is confusing and unflexible. She is very unprofessional. Avoid at all costs.

I take this fast-track, 8 ONLINE week class. Class is VERY HEAVY: 2 chapter reading, 1 quiz ( 2 attempts, about 50 questions, no timing), and 1 Discussion each week (explain one question in the quiz, and 1 theory in the chapter). There will be 2 exams ( 72 questions in 120 mins for each exam). 1 Comprehension exam (optional). She expects a lot.
