Reviews of professor Richard Mercier

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
The lectures are useless and often he goes too fast for you to understand what'd going on. The homeowork is nothing like the lectures and you will be expected to magically know it even though he has never taught it. Wish I never took him. There's 6 exams each worth 10%.

He teaches hard classes but he is a good professor

Mercier was a great professor for 221. If you show up to class and listen to his lectures (which can be dry sometimes) you will do just fine in this class. He gives a LOT of tests but it helps give you a stable grade and means you don't have to memorize a lot of material you just need to practice often. I highly recommend him!

He is overall a really good professor for CVEN 221. He has many tests which means that if you do bad on one, you have 5 more instead of the tests being worth 30% each. He is very engaging in his lectures and in his examples and he always explains everything very well and will slow down or speed up as long as you communicate with him.

So far, he has been the worst professor I have had at TAMU in terms of his lecture. He just reads off the slides and does the bare minimum. Sitting through his lecture without falling asleep is a challenge in itself. If you do take this class, get a Chegg account because you won't be learning from him.
