Comment:

Fantastic teacher overall! Very fair grader and keeps class engaged in thought and discussion. No need to go to lecture since tests are based on ideas based on section. He appreciates hard work and effort. If for some reason you have something against tall red-haired men would be the only reason why you hate his class.

Very good discussion leader. His finals and midterms are based on discussion, no need to go to lecture. PAY ATTENTION in class it will help you get an A in the class. Tough grader but fair. Go to OH and it should help with paper's.

Comment:

Richard isn't so much difficult as much as he is challenging. He involves the class as much as he can, and brings up a lot of great ideas not from lecture. Pay attention in section and do you should do well on tests.

Comment:

Good teacher, but tough grader. Sometimes you don't understand what he wants from you. My suggestion attend his office hours and write e-mails. He responds back very clearly. Finals and midterms follow his discussion and not lecture. PAY ATTENTION

Comment:

Great discussion leader. Very knowledgable and intelligent. He talks alot, but still manages to involve the class in dicussion. A fair grader, but not an easy one. Really likes intellectual history; try to incorporate this somehow into essays/exams.

Laid back, makes fun of himself on a regular basis, very fair grader. I hope I get him next quarter. His discussion groups are usually more informative than the lectures.
