Reviews of professor Michael Riojas

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He's okay but there were times where he could have made the class not as difficult. He's a very by the book teacher so get ready to do all the assignments even the unnecessary ones. Probably wouldn't take again just based on the workload and his constant referrals to the book when students had questions.

In the beginning he said he never wants to stress us out. Lord has he done the opposite. As the semester continued he became such an angry non professional teacher. Does not respond to emails or questions in class, answers them after essay's due. Tons of essays and does not explain assignment until the class before due date. Do not choose this guy.

I had him for engl 1302 he's pretty chill. Most of the work was outside of class he lets you pick a research topic that u work on the whole semester. He literally cancelled class hald the time lol.

In the beginning he seemed promising but as time went on he became worse. He never really explains the essay requirements and always says to look in the book for help. He also started not responding to emails when students would ask him the same question. Do yourself a favor and avoid him if you can.

I liked him in the beginning of the semester. Seemed interesting. As the semester progressed, he just seemed boring in class. He graded the papers very late and wasn't very clear about what you are supposed to do for the first draft. For the second revised draft he gives you a template to follow which is easy. BUT HE GRADES THE FIRST DRAFT TOO.
