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. | |
plain and simple.. DON'T TAKE ANY OF HIS courses. my class was full with students, and a month within.. there was only 15 left. monotone voice,dull, very difficult grader, and only three exams (which is the only chance to get a great grade). | |
dont take him! | |
He is a far and very accommodating prof. ! Great knowledge ! | |
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. |
