Dr. Rak is very patient is super helpful when answering questions on labs, individual assignments, and projects. He basically shows you how to do all of them if you come to class. He makes research and Excel easy to understand. The exams are open note and his PowerPoints are really clear, so just show up to the review sessions and take notes.Rate My Professors ↗

Rak gives good lectures and always clarifies when students have questions. He is very kind and helps out with any assignment if you ask. As long as you show up to class and takes notes from what he says and the PPT's you should be good. Also, study for the exams by going to the exam prep and using the study guide even though exams are open notesRate My Professors ↗

This class is easy and he is not a bad teacher, but he gives extremely false expectations going into a class and changed the final curve at the end a ridiculous amount which screwed over numerous students. If you get him, take the class but be aware of thisRate My Professors ↗
