Comment:
This veteran professor can make even the least competent Rose-Hulman student (me) understand Con Apps. He really cares about each and every student, and is very prompt with grading and returning homework for future study. If he's available, take him.

Comment:
Dr. Richards was tough, but by the end I had a very solid understanding of the material. He usually acts in the beat interests of the students and is normally very helpful if you go to his office.

Comment:
While his lectures were occasionally hard to follow and frequently left us unprepared to deal with the homework, I thought he generally did an okay job explaining the material. He is a very helpful guy outside of glass and is easy to contact. His grading left much to be desired - he is unnecessarily harsh and will destroy you for small errors.

Sometimes his lectures can get a bit confusing, but he is always friendly, his office is almost always open, and he is genuinely interested in helping you succeed. (Get a folder for all of his hand-outs - there will be a bunch.)

ahhhh conaps! the material really is harder than it is hyped up to be. richards is a conaps beast, but sometimes the ways he explains stuff is confusing. ask him in his office though, he's always there and is helpful. he's a pretty solid pick for a conaps prof

Comment:
He is a hard professor. His lectures are mediocre and the board turns into a mess of variables which were easy to confuse (there are 4 different types of Vs that he writes). Knows his stuff, but grades harder then he needs to. The best thing is he really is good in his office and loves to help.

I'm glad I had him for ConApps. I feel like he did a good job teaching the material, and is always willing to help. He's a little picky with grading, but overall, I'd suggest taking his classes.

He is really smart and is good at teaching the stuff since he wrote the text. He grades incredibly hard and many people fail out of his class, but he tires hard and is great for help outside of class and is approachable. Also adds a little corney humor to class.

He's a very good teacher. He's tough, but you learn a lot from him, which is good since this class carries over into your following classes.
