Warren Richards is a great professor. He basically boiled down the material to just the absolute essentials, and uses a step-by-step approach that is very easy to follow. Great combination of an easy class and still actually learning the material.

Math isn't my strong suit, so naturally i was worried about this class. The instructor completely took away my worries. Awesome teacher, Joe and Sara are also amazing ( SI's). i was hoping he was a teacher for ms251 but he's not. What a shame.

Comment:

Hardly any homework which is nice. He's super chill and laid back we always left class like 15 mins early. He also doesn't have class the class before the test. The tests are only made up of 10 questions so that can be a little hard since you don't have any room for mistakes. I would definitely recommend him though, I loved him as a teacher!

Richards was great to have for MS 250. It is difficult class, but the man made it work. He goes through lectures so slowly (which can be monotonous at times) but it really helps all students to learn the material by not rushing through it.

Comment:

Professor Richards is a very caring and kind Professor. I respect him. However his lectures are a little slow so they get boring but that is not his fault he has to go slow for some other students. The class grade is almost entirely exams. Beware of the third exam, that is the only one I didnt get a A on. I got a C. Otherwise the class is easy.

I heard that this class was really hard but I worked at it and ended up with a B. I think you just have to go to class and try your best to understand the concepts and you will do fine. Also, GO TO THE SI SESSIONS--I promise they will help you SO much for tests.

Class is not mandatory but if you don't go, you won't pass. Professor is an awesome teacher though and makes sure the class understands the material before moving on. Homework assignments are so super helpful.

Comment:

I heard SO MANY horror stories about MS 250 and how hard it was, but honestly, Warren Richards made it seem not so bad! He teaches in a way that alot of math teachers really can't and only bothers to teach the things you NEED to know to pass. His homework isn't too hard, just once a week. And you'll do a way better if you go to SI Sessions.

Best teacher I've had at SIUE. I took a different teacher over the summer for the same course and had to drop it was so hard. Prof Richards did a great job explaining the material without making it complicated. He laid out what was going to be on the exam and the exam reflected it with no surprises. Homework was due on Saturdays every week.

Richards is a very intelligent man who does a wonderful job explaining a tough course if you have never take Calculus before. He gives good examples and has a knack for getting you to see tough problems from a simple perspective. Take lots of notes, visit all the supplemental instructions and you will pass.

Comment:

I really enjoyed taking his class. A little nerve racking that grades are based on 2 regular exams, 1 paper (test grade, & easiest paper you could ever write), and the final. But his lectures are easy to follow. I had a little trouble understanding a few topics and he actually set me up with a former student of his to tutor me, it showed he cared

Professor Warren is an OK professor. The problems given on his test were typically harder than the problems that were given in class or on the homework. One fair/bad test and it could ruin your overall grade. He also doesn't post grades on Blackboard which is very annoying!....

Comment:

Good teacher - if you attend class you can get a B or better with minimal studying. His homework is from the book, which sometimes does not coincide with his lecture. There are only a few exams and a final. Outside of homework, one exam could hurt your grade pretty bad. Not many options to boost your grade if you do poorly on one exam.

Nice guy, chill lectures. Make sure you know the material, I noticed a few differences in difficulty between lectures/homework and the exams. Would take again.

Great at explaining the material and giving real life examples. Only 3 tests, and one paper (super easy don't worry!). Econ is a hard subject but Richards helps to make it simple.

He is a great professor. He explains things very well and gives examples for everything. There is no homework or quizzes. He goes over every single thing you need to know for the exams in class so take good notes. This class is a breeze and he makes learning about the economy really interesting. Study for the tests and pay attention. you'll be good

Absolutely loved this guy. By far the most laid back professor I have ever had and treats everyone with respect. His first three exams were extremely easy, but the final exam was one of the most difficult exams I have ever taken.. study hard for it and you'll be fine. Would definitely take another class with him, though. Great guy

Comment:

A very easy to understand professor. Took what could have been a very confusing class and made it clear. There are three exams each worth 20% of your grade, and all of them are very, very easy. The writing assignment is worth 10% of the grade and is also easy. The final is worth 30% of the grade and is EXTREMELY difficult. Like, unbelievably so.
