Worst prof. of my college experience, he actually almost prevented me from graduating, there are three exams in his class and no way to try and improve a grade. He is a ridiculous grader that constantly insults people through his comments, DON'T DO IT!!!!

Yes he is a tough grader because he expects that your in the class to read, listen, and take notes. I pulled a B off in his class and while it was difficult, it can happen. Only 3 chances to earn a grade, but participation counts too. Read then you can participate more and you will be memorable. Make intelligent comments or questions.

Worse prof. ever! RUN DON'T TAKE HIM! He has tons of knowledge but very dull! mid year exam, Essay, and Final are the only opportunities to earn a grade. He is a difficult grader! Lots and lots of reading. He doesn't care about his students he will give you an F. 38 years of teaching in the History department.

Riess is everything you don't want in a teacher. He is very dry and monotone. He can not engage his students and to disagree with people, he is not impartial in his grading. I am a history major, and have gotten A's in all my courses and am looking at possibly getting a low B or high C. He is NOT a teacher you want to take.
