He is a great professor that explains his content very well. His slides are organized but can be improved. His test questions are fair but not easy. Sometimes he does not record the lectures because of technical difficulties that only happens for him!!!

In my opinion, Riddell is a great prof. he isnt boring or monotone like some profs at York and he makes the material he teaches fun to listen to by being open and sharing personal experiences that help you remember certain topics.

He has the facial appearance of a bald eagle for some reason. His course is great and tries to engage students in group discussion. Highly recommend the course.

He is a great lecturer but I think he is a little full of himself. I have heard he isn't the best person but don't let someones real personality get in the way of having a good class. Highly recommend him :)

Comment:

Dr. Riddell is one of the most caring professors I know at York. He is such a nice guy and always tries to make his lectures fun and engaging. He answers all your questions. His jokes are really funny and the man knows what he talking about. He makes kinesiology much more fun. He is one of few professors who will actual teach and fun to learn.
