Reilly is super boring BUT his class is literally a study hall, the class is not hard all you have to do is occasionally show up. Had to do one presentation and a 2 page paper got an A, but his voice will haunt you forever.

Comment:

Professor Riley is boring at most times and always get off topic. There is a quiz every Friday, he give you the textbooks pages to read & give you 1-5 questions in which you pick one and have to answer in 3-4 sentences. There are 2 tests and an optional 3, one research assignment or a powerpoint presentation. Easy A!

Comment:

This guy is perhaps the most boring teacher on the planet. But he's definitely a easy grader. If you have some basic knowledge of history from your time in highschool, you'll get through this class with an A. He drops the 3 lowest quiz grades (out of 12) and gives 3 extra credit opportunities. There's also a long paper assignment at the end.

He'll go on about random things a lot, but honestly easiest class I have taken so far. Pay attention, weekly quizzes, and 3 chances for extra credit. Super easy grader. Awesome teacher and would take him again in a heart beat.

the class was not that hard he was a fair grader but his class was very very very very boring. I took him for a 3 hour class and he talked for the whole time without giving us a break. dont take a three hour class with him you will regret it.

Comment:

No, Dr. Reilly isn't the most exciting teacher but he is very intelligent and knows what he is a talking about. He isn't a tough grader either. And he is a nice guy, he just needs to stay on topic a bit more and perhaps be a little bit more organized. He really isn't a bad teacher.

Comment:

I'm still taking this class but felt i needed to share. I agree with everyone that said his voice will put you to sleep. But his quizzes and tests are pretty easy.Only reason i didn't give him a higher easiness is because his lack of organization and boringness make it impossible to pay attention to his lesson. Also there is a 8 pg research paper.

One of the smartest men at the Mount. This professor is 'old school' and really knows his field of study. I would take him again in a heartbeat if given the opportunity. He really cares about his students and helps them if they should seek him out.

Comment:

This man is the most boring man alive. The only reason I got a D was because I never went. I couldn't bare the thought of listening to him go on and on about the Hudson River or DNA or something that had nothing to do with the course. The quizzes are easy and you don't need the book. Just google the answers.

Comment:

Reilly is super easy! You do have to study for the quizzes but if you write something related to what you should have than you will be fine. His lectures are a bit boring but just breeze ove the chapters he tells you about and you will sail through. He is a nice guy and fair enough. I would take his class again.

Comment:

Very intelligent, nice and passionate about history. His down fall is his lack of organization and is boring. He doesn't use a powerpoint to guide him so he tends to go off on random tangents. Although he is one of the most boring professors I've had, I like the fact that he is one of the only professors that actually uses the book when I buy it.

He isn't a great teacher but you learn somethings from his class and he knows what he is talking about. It is not a difficult at all. Also his voice may put you to sleep.

useless teacher. didnt learn anything in the class. you have to teach yourself by reading 20 page chapters. he talked about newburgh or other random things during class time. waste of time and money in my opinion.

He is a wonderful person; the class is very easy. There is usually a quiz a week and 3 tests as well as a paper. He takes the highest three and drops the rest...extra credit is always available...this is an easy "A" just a boring class.

Reilly is a knowledgable and respectable man. Not too personable but you have to know how to deal with him to do well.He wont hold ur hand through the class so anybody who says he cant teach is probly a big baby and not ready for college. its up to the student to read the material and reilly will clear up anything you are condfused with

He was a smart guy but could not keep your attention for the life of him. He would go off on tangents that were completely unrelated and lose track of the topic.
