Even if you skip every class you can still get an A as long as you skim the notes and maybe the book.

This class is painfully boring and if it weren't required I would not take it. He is a nice guy but extremely monotone and not clear. His tests were difficult but assignments were easy.

Comment:

This class was difficult for me. I'm not good with technology, but Riden is really cool. He's not too difficult, and if you ever have questions about information, or homework, he will answer them. He talks fast though, but I never even bought the book or notes, and got a B easily. He makes some dumb jokes, but I think he's a good teacher.

Comment:

Do yourself a favor and save your GPA by not taking CSE180 from this guy. I do not think I can take anymore of his jokes, it is ok the first few times, but he pauses for laughter when clearly he needs to stfu. I hope my final grade matches his age, I've never gotten higher then an A+ before.

He has a fun sense of humor and he is very nice. The class itself is a bit BASIC at times but Chuck is a cool prof!

Comment:

I took this class (Spring '06)?, I think it was absolutely worth it. I still use half the stuff I learned for writing papers, etc. You must read the text for this class to pass. Nice guy, and helpful, he just wants you to do well. No way you could fail. Only unpleasantness was his TA with the Napoleon complex, what was his problem?

Comment:

His class can be very hard and he is oftentimes hard to understand. However, if you pay attention go to class every day, and do all the assignments, you'll have no trouble passing the class. Just make sure you come every day and pay attention. The assignments are also very easy if you can follow along with him during class.

Comment:

this is just a class you have to take. you can buy the notes from alphagraphs so you dont really need to show up. it is good to show up sometimes because he does random bonus points where he asks pointless questions on the day's lecture so its easy points. the tests are scantron and basically from the notes, you dont really use the book at all

Comment:

It was the most boring class I ever took, probably because of the professor. He was a terrible teacher and the only way to get a decent grade on the tests was to read the chapters really well, or be able to read his mind because it was ridiculous. I recommend taking another prof. for sure

Comment:

Lectures are worthless and the only way to not fail the tests is to read all of the assigned chapters as his test review is a joke. Between being the most boring class I took this semester and never knowing what was going to be on the tests I would say definately take it from another professor.

Comment:

do not take this course... and if you absolutly have to, take a different teacher. Riden gets some sort of enjoyment out of tricking his students. He'll tell you what "might" be on the test and only give you a broad idea of what it might look like. When you sit down to actually take the test you will experience the highest level of frustration. NO!

Comment:

riden is a nice guy that is willing to help. Make sure you goto class when he demonstrates the assignments. Take good notes because thats all you got to do them. Tests are kinda hard because he doesnt tell u exactly whats on them.just buy the slides for the lectures and the assignments book. tutorials is a waste. only 3 tests and 12 assignments

Comment:

well....his class was hard and my friend and i almost failed.... he doesnt tell you whats going to be on the stupid tests so just study the text book and the best way to pass his class is to study for his tests with study groups, and the homework assignments were really hard too.

Comment:

Chuck Riden will work with you. He helped me several times because I asked nicely. He gave me points back on assignments I messed up on. He saved my butt on the final. You have to pay attention and take good notes. There are a lot of bad reviews because so many freshman take this class who are not prepared. The class does suck but that doesnt make

Comment:

He's got a 'funny' sense of humor but I learned nothing from his class. His lectures reflect nothing that you see on the tests, and unless you're a straight up computer nerd, you will fail every test. He gives no review or study guides, and you're just suppose to know what's on each test. He has random attendance quizzes & the assigments are hard!
