This teacher is really laid back. This doesn't mean he doesn't give work because he does. This teacher is very easy and down to Earth. He is VERY willing to help you in ANY way possible. Need to take freshman seminar? Take this teacher!

Comment:

Michael Rich was the best professor I ever had at Chico State or anywhere else. If there is one professor I would suggest to take it would be him. I still read his notes from the class I took 2 years ago. Listen to what he says with an open mind, it could be profound!

Very good teacher! He keeps class interesting. He doesn't keep up with responding to emails or posting homework grades.

Comment:

Reason and Religion is great! Rich is fun, smart, and snarky. Be ready for some controversial statements and deep thinking about faith and religious beliefs. Heavy use of packet, no actual use of the "Jesus" book (I think it's a waste. Share a copy or buy used.) Tests are straight forward, based on class lectures.

Michael is a very awesome teacher! Sometimes you feel like: Why is he talking about this? its totally irrelevant. But he has a way of connecting everything. His teaching style is awesome and keeps you interested. His stories are also pretty interesting as well!

Comment:

Outstanding teacher. His energetic lectures and stories are simply HILARIOUS & educational. He makes fun of students often, but its great. As long as you are competent in writing and understanding, you will thrive. His tests are perhaps too easy, they are T or F. Yet I guess if you retain the information is whats important. TAKE THIS MAN.

Comment:

If you are socially awkward forget about it cause he'll tear you apart. Get in there, be confident and contribute to the class and he'll respect you. I've never had such a captivating professor and I believe Professor Rich has much to teach the entire college system with his methods. Perhaps the best teach at Chico State.

Comment:

Did not like this professor's teaching style at ALL! He required four texts for the class, only one of which was barely cracked throughout the entire semester. His three tests were 50-75 true false with two short answer questions. T or F for a philosophy class?! Really?? Was often unprepared for class and quite excentric. Has acult followingofstude

Very interesting professor! He's a funny guy and his lectures will keep you entertained even if Philosophy isn't your thing. Attendance isn't mandatory but I wouldn't recommend missing a class. Take EXCELLENT notes because his tests have at least 25 true & false questions. I literally memorized 8 pgs of notes for each test, but it got me A's.

Hilarious teacher. Grade is based mostly on exam scores. Not much homework. You need to have a tough skin with this teacher.

Great teacher, great class. It is a rare teacher that can keep 100+ students engaged during a 1.5 hour lecture and Dr Rich has got it going on. I would definitely re-take this class. Take notes, pay attention, come to class - you won't want to miss class.

Comment:

Crazy guy. He is also very funny. Not afraid to pick on kids but he picks on everyone so its funny. Dont take what he says too seriously, and dont be afraid to throw it back at him. Uses funny examples, but his quizzes were kinda hard. Looked foward to going to his class to see what crazy thing he was going to say.

This guy is crazy, but he is a good teacher. Pretty easy class. Dont be late. Try to get the class in a big lecture hall because he will call people out in the smaller classes. No homework.

Michael Rich is one of the best teachers I've ever had. He's a lot of fun and he keeps the class interesting, even when the material is boring. Going to class is important and taking good notes is essential to getting a good grade. I've had him for two classes now and I loved both of them! His PHIL 101 class will change your life!

Dr. Rich is so funny and down to earth. His first impression was intimidating, but once you get to know him through lectures, you realize he just wants his students to learn his theory on having a "Good Life"&become better people. He is an amazing teacher, I've never looked forward to a class so much. Study lecture notes&youll ace tests, fun hw
