Reviews of professor Laura Ridenour

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Awful PHD instructor. This class is all about organization and the most unorganized class I've ever taken. Funny how that works, right? Her assignments make absolutely no sense and when you ask for clarification she sighs and rolls her eyes. On top of that, she deducts points for going above and beyond and takes months to grade assignments.

Out of all my classes I have taken overall, this has been the most disappointing. The overall course setup is very unclear and the lack of explanation on assignments leaves you guessing on what needs to be done. Every test period she was absent from, and the syllabus was changed 5 times and still the final two weeks of class were left "TBD".

Laura seems like a nice person, but she is a horrible teacher. She thinks she's explaining things, but leaves the class confused on what's expected in homework or exams. She said it's not her fault (teaching style), but our learning style. She never releases the homework on time on Canvas, leaving students confused. I get As but not in this class.

Honestly the most boring class i've ever taken, it may not necessarily have been all her fault as the materials are bland, however she doesn't make it interesting at all and it's very hard to pay attention to her.

She is very unclear and doesn't get to the point most of the time when she's talking about topics, she takes forever to grade basically anything, she was absent for every exam so if you had any questions on a test question you were basically SOL. Also she changed the syllabus 5 or 6 times throughout the year so good luck planning out anything.

I found Ms. Ridenour to be a little tough, but she was very fair. If you came to the lecture, paid attention, and worked hard on the homework assignments you did well in this class. This was a work intensive class, and the tests were challenging. The snowflakes that gave this professor a bad review, don't understand what college SHOULD be.

This class by all means is horrible. Quizzes are very strict down to the point of accuracy. She gives out a lot of reading so be prepared to be overwhelm in reading. Her class lecture is very heavy on details and all she does it talk and talk. Not very engaging nor does she impact the class. She's very bad at teaching to be organize while she's not
