Reviews of professor Shelby Riskin

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
one of the best professors I had, she puts in time to talk to students and answer their questions. Her assignments are fair as long as you go to lecture and listen. Took two courses with her and both were done well, she is helpful and didn't have to do a midterm or final in either of the classes I took.

Shelby is an awesome prof, she's truly so good at what she does and cares so deeply. A very impressive and well-spoken prof, who keeps lectures interesting and grades super fairly(many chances to improve your grade). So well organized, takes the time to get to know her students and assigns really cool projects. I want to be her when I grow up!

One of the best profs I've had (in 6 years of part time). Kind, helpful, passionate, interesting lectures, and inspiring! I am not a science person at all but this course was delivered in a way that was easy for me to understand, but also interesting. Lectures have the bulk of info, but the textbook is helpful for studying/clarifying concepts.

Genuinely incredible. So accessible and understanding during/outside of lecture. Teaches for students to understand, not memorize. Tests were amazingly fair, syllabus designed to help students prosper and actually enjoy the class. Answers emails WITHIN THE HOUR!!! So clearly passionate about her studies, and it creates all the difference!! amazing!

One of the best profs in the department. Probably the most approachable and personable prof Ive ever had.

Absolutely wonderful professor. I hadn't touched biology in 5 years before taking her class but her teaching style and organization made the course very digestible even for non-bio majors. She gave weekly quizzes and debates which motivated students to keep up with material and the writing assignments were well made too. Highly recommend for BR4.

I have never rated a professor before but I feel inclined to do so for Dr. Riskin because shes truly one of a kind. Extremely caring prof with realistic expectations of students. Almost all test questions are based on lecture. Make sure you understand and can explain all key concepts and you will be fine. Best prof in all of my three year thus far
