Dr. Riley's class was fairly easy, just study the night before and remember your units/sig figs and you will be completely fine. Oh and study the old exams, ALOT.

Comment:

I failed his class the first semester and blamed it all on him, but then after retaking his class a second time I learned alot about him. He is a wierd guy, but loves his job and honestly wants you learn. He just hates when people dont try and expect answers to be given to you.

Comment:

If you're terrible at math...why would you choose pharmacy? Or at least you should try to get good at it. All you have to know is baby math. He might seem scary at first, but he's actually nice! But make sure to pay A LOT of attention to sigfigs...including mentissa law and addition/subtraction.

Comment:

Dr. Riley is an odd old man but his class isn't as bad as people make it out to be. If you ask a stupid question in class he kind of makes fun of you, but if you go to him for honest help he is quite helpful. Read the lab before you go. Learn sigfigs. It really isn't that hard.

Comment:

This teacher is not one someone can ask for help outside of class. He is very unaproachable. He will point out flaws of students and complain about good qualities in the student he does not see. The majority of lecture, the man will mumble and most of what he mumbles will be on the tests. Not reccomended.

Though he'll mumble, tell random semi-understandable jokes, complain about the dumbing of the textbooks, he's an easy teacher and will clarify.

Dr. Riley is a very smart man and willing to answer questions if you ask. He is one of the best teachers at the college, at least his tests come from the material he teaches unlike a lot of other teachers.

He is very unapproachable and not very willing to help students. He mumbles during lecture and is difficult to follow. He doesn't explain things very well.
