He is very tough on students, gave us quizzes every single class session. No exam reviews EVER. Gives us homework but doesn't bother to check them

Comment:

an easy way to mess up your GPA. from a class of 25 three were passing. AVOID AT ALL COST. first F i got in math and the rest were A's. epic fail as a prof. moves way too fast and does not care if most of the class fails. he can be funny though

Tjis guy thinks he knows every thing. He doesn't even give you any chance to talk. Even if you go to his office he will keep talking and treat you like you know nothing. He is living in a dream world. Stay away from him.

Comment:

HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, do not take him online or in class. Very hard grader, does not teach or explains the assignment, and makes you want to take the quizes 1 week after the other quiz. Do not take Him even if your a Math major.

Comment:

He sucks! He doesn't really pay attention to how the class is doing. He also goes through the book with a increasing speed from the beginning to the end. If you take him try to pay much attention and ask as many questions as needed even if you don't have a question.

Dr. Riggs is awesome. I had him for two graduate classes and certainly one of the best in the department. However, other teachers are bad, he needs to do some housecleaning in the math department...
