Reviews of professor Étienne Rivard

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Hes a really good prof! Multiple tests instead of a midterm and a final + he gives you some of the questions that are on them. Projects are relatively easy. All class presentations are on ecampus so you have access to everything.

I took both physical and human geography with him and found that the physical geography class was much more difficult. Labs are harder and the group project is a lot of work for a 1000 level class. I didnt enjoy this class

Très difficile considérant le niveau du cours (1000). La plupart de l'enseignement était à voix haute jusqu'au dernier 2 modules où il me semblait que il s'est adapté pour avoir plus de notes dans le Powerpoint, ce qui est bien. Difficulté à stimuler la classe. Consignes pas clairs parfois.

Difficult for a first-year course. Most of the instruction is given by voice, if you aren't listening, you'll miss things. Lectures seemed dry, I wish he would be a little more interesting.

His lectures are dry, he isnt very clear on assignments nor does he give a criteria or guidelines for how he will be grading the assignment. Also very vague on feedback. Everyone i knew in my class never got higher than 65 on the assignments. Although test are somewhat easy (short and 50% are copy and paste from the practice)
