Comment:

Dr. Rivers is probably one of the coolest guys ever. I had him for Honors Forensics and the class was so interesting, but no one had any idea what to study for the tests. They were all essay tests, with each question being worth like 10 points so if you don't know one question, you're screwed. Also, there are two LONG papers: 8 pages and 20 pages.

Dr. Rivers is the best professor I've had in 3 years at LC. He is a hard grader and expects his students to know the material well. Fascinating class. Wish he taught every bio.

One of the funniest guys I've ever met ...makes you want ot be at your 8am MWF, which I can't say about many teachers - tests are difficult but if you go to class and ask for extra help you'll do well
