Comment:

The Jazz Age course was the most exciting intellectual experience of my whole college career, a completely brilliant weave of art, music and literature. Riley even invited some of the former students to his incredible party (at the home of the guy who is the real life model for Gordon Gekko) to celebrate the book he was writing, Free as Gods.

He is a gem. Love him! You could only wish for such a wonderful professor. If you have a chance to take his class, consider yourself one of the lucky ones. I can genuinely say that he is the best professor I have ever had in my years so far at Baruch. Not only does he care about his students, but he also makes coming to class a pleasure!

Comment:

Hysterical and oh-so-witty Professor who will make you travel back to the Jazz Age through jazz music, Gatsby, and the greatest painters of the 20th century. You will learn so much about the beauty of the Jazz Age after that class.

Comment:

The professor who cares about you and the literature he loves, and loves to teach. There is not a class when he is not excited to share with us, and there is never a class that is not exciting, stimulating and fun. Pleasure and learning in the right balance

Comment:

He is the BEST. I dont know whats wrong with the person who called a class a joke. Probably annoying individual who loves writing annoying papers. He makes class super interesting and you get a chance to say what you think and also listen what others have to say. I think thats how you understand more and make friends in class.

Comment:

Class is joke, you will not learn anything or do any work at all. He tells good stories and is a very smart and cultured man. He does his best to get you excited about the in class readings but it just comes off annoying. Most of the time there is no point in coming in but he does drop people sometimes for lack of attendance.

Never boring because this is one of the most amazing geniuses you will ever meet he knows everyone, everything but he listens to your thoughts like you are the new Einstein, with respect and with a way to bring together the masterpieces in class with the art and music and what is going on in the world. Amazing class

Comment:

Eccentric in that his lecture will move very quickly, jumping from topic to topic. He likes politics, literature and art~ so bring that into convo. End of semester= alcohol. Easy A but biased + subjective. Helps if youre pretty and not shy

The most exciting, stimulating class in the whole college it is like ten classes in one. Riley rips through fiction (Hemingway, Fitzgerald), poems, art (Picasso), jazz even architecture and ballet and he knows and loves ALL of it. Unbelievable, this guy is a genius

Absolutely amazing. Took him for my Journalism capstone and it was by far the best class ive ever taken. He's passionate, respectful, interesting. His classes just fly by, and his door is always open. He's one of those professors that if you take the time to get to know will impact your life for years to come.

He is an amazing professor! Passionate about what he does, and very sweet! You will walk out of the class as an informed individual ready to tackle the world. TAKE HIM whenever you can because there are not many professors like him.
