Comment:

Rick is very intelligent and he expects students to learn the material rather than memorize it. Trying to write down everything he puts on the board is impossible. His tests are easy if you understand the material, but they are nearly impossible if you are just memorizing things.

Comment:

I do believe that if being difficult was an olympic sport that this man would take the ultra Gold. I wish i could say something positive but nothing seems to come to mind. I will never ask anymore questions in fear of more questions. And ps i will not watch that movie that was made in WW1 to teach me machines.

Spends more time saying "You should have learned this in 113" then actually teaching relevant course material. Has forgotten what it is like to be a student.

He puts more hours then any other teacher into his work but he so hard understand and his teaching methed is horribal. If you ask him question he will answer your question by asking you 5 more questions, even sometime he asks you the same question that you just asked him.

Comment:

If there were two instructors who should be in this program to make it a better place, you would be the first to go! Maybe if you'd open your ears and listen to people instead of having your own argument, the class atmosphere would be much better.

If you say "Well what you have to realize is....", OK what you need to realize is, giving notes, listening to students, and admiting when you are wrong are all traits of a good teacher. NO redeming qualities of an instructor
