Reviews of professor Elisha Ryder

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
He does a lot of group work but it's fun and intentional. No matter your writing level you will leave this class and have learned something. He does not take late work. He gives a lot of good construal criticism but will never make you feel like the work you have done is bad.  Definitely recommend.

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Uses a 1 pt grading scale which could either help or hurt you tremendously. Weekly discussion boards in response to the textbook readings. No clear rubric on the major grade essays as he uses the same vague rubric for every assignment. Overall, he grades easy as I got 100s on all essays but that could just mean I'm a good writer.

He gives automatic zeros if you don't follow his VERY UNCLEAR instructions. If you do ask for help with the assignments, he never responds to the email or responds back with attitude. At this time, over HALF his students have F's and if that doesn't say anything about his teaching, I don't know what will.
