Comment:

The best prof I've had at Sprott. This class has been one of the most demanding classes, but only because he wants you to work for the grade you want to get. We're the last class he taught before retiring, so I'm sad that the others won't have him as a prof. Can't get any better with Robert. Cheers to your retirement! We're truly thankful.

This course is really something special, but definitely a large workload. Make sure you get along with your teammates because there's so many presentations and 2 large assignments at the end of the semester that you have to do together. Robert is a funny, well respected and helpful professor.

Good professor. Helps you with stuff that's course-related and stuff that's outside of the class. Gives good life lessons and advices. Helps you understand the class contents in a friendly opening class environment. Overall the professor was like an older version of Wayne Horn, but the class content is like drinking from a fire hydrant. GLHF LOL

Ive never met a professor who is so focused on wanting to see his students succeed. Although he makes you work hard for a good grade, he will give you the materials you need to achieve. Great lecturer. I wish all profs were like Rob.

The course has a lot of content to it. Which means you need to keep on top of your deadlines. Always read the textbook before each lecture as there is a quiz for it each week. Try your best to get along with the group members as there are presentations each week and 2 group projects at the end

What an amazing prof! He pushed you in his class but it's worth it. The skills you learn in his class go way beyond school. You cannot skip class and expect to do well. Whilst his class was challenging, it is probably the greatest class I've ever taken. He is staying one more semester I believe, so take him if you can. You wouldn't want to miss out

Rob is an amazing professor! He really cares if you do well. The classes were super interesting! I would definitely recommend taking a course taught by Rob before he retires at the end of the winter term! Really sad to see him retire as he is one of the best professor's I have had.

I was in one of the last classes he taught. Complex course with a lot of group work and assignments, but he has a great sense of humour and applies topics to real life situations. I would take one of his courses again!

Robert Riordan is such a nice guy. The course in its self is a lot, as there are crew challenges, online class quizzes, and assignments. But, he makes you work hard. Unfortunately, he is retiring this year, but I wish him all the best. Love ya Rob

This class really challenged me and pushed me outside of my comfort zone but I loved the prof. Makes jokes, knows his stuff and really wants you to learn and succeed. Lots of group work, need to read the textbook to do well. Every week there's a possibility for you to present with your assigned group, and about 2 things to do a week but loved it.

Robert was an amazing professor. I really enjoyed his class even though I did not enjoy the course content. Textbook is written by him and is online (free) but it needs to be edited and fixed up. Participation and class attendance is a must. Lots of small assignments and activities but he makes the class engaging and enjoyable. AMAZING DUDE!!!

Love Rob and love this class. There are a lot of things going on in this course but he lays it out well and makes it hard to miss things. Very creative setup and a fun environment. The class is online next year so Idk how it will go but I know he'll make it great, gonna miss him!

Honestly one of the best professors I've ever had, really funny and he genuinely cares about his students. I loved the way the classes are structured it really engaged me and help me learn, there's a lot of work to do but i wouldn't say it's difficult it just requires a lot of reading.
