Reviews of professor Doug Richards

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I liked Dr. Richards. His class was self-paced and really easy to get ahead in. I could finish the weeks material in two hours. There were a lot of projects/papers/presentations but he is not that tough of a grader. There is a textbook required but don't buy it!! I never used it and got an A. Make sure you study for the exams and you will be fine:)

Through the year we had many opportunities to apply material we're learning to real life. If you participate in class and put in the effort, you don't need to worry about grades. If you have trouble focusing, choose a different professor, but if you are proactive and can engage yourself in class, he is a good choice. He's very knowledgeable.

I like him! He is far from exciting but he is still good at explaining things especially if you engage in class. And he is really nice when it comes to preparing for tests.

LECTURES ARE SO DULL I was practically drooling on the table if you can take this from someone else DO

Great professor. Grading assignments, presentations, and tests in timely manner. Even if you weren't able to make it to class there was a zoom option and slides posted as well. Very well organized and never really surprised with due dates and changes.

With Prof. Richards you always know what to expect. The expectations are very clear on assignments as well as day to day class; he lays the whole plan out clearly. He uses many lecture slides based on the book. We do in-class assignment and reflection papers to apply material. I certainly learned a lot through the semester. It was enjoyable for me.
