Howard Rice is an amazing professor and a better man. The impact that he has made on me is immeasurable. He really cares about his students. I graduated from Temple 24 years ago and I still keep in touch with him. Everyone should be lucky enough to have someone like Howard Rice in his or her life.

i already miss professor rice and his classes . he made learning interesting and fun, whether it was writing workshop or media advertising. he knows his stuff for sure. but more, he knows how to teach, how to keep students engaged. truth is, i will ALWAYS be his student, and that feels good and right.

everything you want in a good teacher and then some. it's like the man was born to teach. goes out of his way to make sure you understand everything. always willing to meet with you if you have any concerns. great sense of humor, makes classes fun, you learn more than just the subjects, invaluable life lessons as well.

by far the best classes i ever took and best teacher i ever had, not just at Temple but in all my years as a student. my only regret is that he didn't teach more courses; i'd have taken them for sure. made learning a pleasure and i really learned a lot, not just about advertising and writing but also about life.

right from the first day of class when he puts on the syllabus I WANT YOU TO DO WELL in very large letters you really get the feeling that prof rice DOES want his students to do well and from the perspective of a student who had him for 2 classes he goes out of his way to help you do well. i will miss him

howard rice went out of his way to make sure we understood everything and were well prepared for the tests. his syllabus was comprehensive and he followed it point by point throughout the semester. he always treated us like adults and always showed how much he cared about us as people, not just as students in a media advertising course.

Comment:

Although he's a nice guy, be prepared that this isn't an easy class. There's no textbook, the class isn't even listed on blackboard, he doesn't email ever, refuses to have reviews for exams, and the syllabus is literally words of encouragement in big font. No due dates or assignments on it. If you don't get the notes from his mouth, you're screwed.

Professor Rice was one of my all time favorite Professors. As a 33 year old student in classes of 18 and 19 year olds he made me feel extremely comfortable and was always interested in what had to say.

i had professor rice for two classes seven years ago. to this day whenever i have a problem i need to get guidance for, i contact him, and he always responds. i learned so much from him in his classes, both about the subjects and about life. . he cares deeply about his students when they're in school and keeps caring after they graduate.

So interesting. So willing to help. So easy to talk to. So obvious he really knows his stuff after working in the business for many years and running his own company. And does he ever care about his students! Wants you to do well and gives you every opportunity to succeed.Put him at the top of the list of favorite teachers.

Comment:

when i took classes with prof rice i felt i learned a lot. and since i've graduated and i'm out in the "real world" i realize just how much i learned, not just about writing and advertising and how to prepare for an interview and do a job search, but also i learned a lot about life in general. that's all part of the way he teaches.
